Installation of Picasa 3

I have found a decent video tutorial online for Picasa 3 that will lead you through the download and installation process: http://www.geeksontour.com/showme/picasa/pic302_install.cfm

When presented with a dialog screen for "Setup" during the installation process, you should check "Desktop Shortcut" and uncheck everything else.

Also when you run Picasa 3 for the first time, click on the "Select None" button in the dialog for "Photo Viewer Configuration." Also, at this point check "Don't Use Picasa Photo Viewer."

At the end of the first time running the software, Picasa will automatically search your computer for every image on it. It will organize all your images by folder name and creation date. The side panel on the left lists the most recent pictures on top to the oldest on the bottom.
