Copy photos/videos from Samsung phone to Windows PC

Hi,

I have a Samsung SmartPhone with numerous photos and a few videos. I need to get them on to my PC (Windows).I hooked it up to a USB port on my computer. I see a bunch of folders, including PHOTOS. However, this folder seems not to have my videos. (On the phone, they seem to be in same folder.)

Here's a list of folders. Where would the videos be?

Photos and videos taken on the phone will be in the DCIM folder (by default). (Think it's a sub folder in here called ANDROID100 or something like that).
CORRECTION - "Explore your DCIM folder"

If there is a separate memory card, there mak be another DCIM folder.

@Eirman-
So PICTURES is then a subset of DCIM? Thanks.
I'd describe it as a shortcut rather than a subset.
install a phone management tool and you can copy them easily.

Thanks, Eirman. Sam, thanks for your input but I had already decided on the already-provided solution. Thanks.
