Is there somewhere in the Inquisit script to specify the path to picture stimuli? I am working from the picture stimuli single-category IAT template. I have the script and the images saved in the same folder on my desktop, but typing in the name of the picture (e.g., "WW.jpeg" or "WW" does not work, it simply shows up as text when I go to run the experiment.
Any suggestions?

When you have an <item> element
<item myitems>
/ 1 = "a.jpg"
/ 2 = "b.jpg"
...
</item>
it is not the <item> element that determines how its items are interpreted. It is the *stimulus* element that uses the <item> element.
I.e.,
<text mytext>
/ items = myitems
...
</text>
will display the string "a.jpg" or "b.jpg" on screen.
<picture mypicture>
/ items = myitems
...
</picture>
will interpret "a.jpg" and "b.jpg" as file names and display the respective image file.
For a simple example, see the Picture IAT tutorial in the Inquisit documentation.
