Remove Photo Gallery

When I delete a photo from the Gallery of Vista, it is removed from my second hardrive internal and external drives as well. The same thing happens if, fcor instance I delte a from an external drive. It is also deleted in the Gallery of Vista.  How can I remove just in one place.

Hello

Windows Photo Gallery is designed to automatically display the pictures and videos stored in the folder of images on your computer. It is not a replacement for folders
on your computer. Therefore, you must not delete the photos in the photo gallery or the pictures in the folder unless you really want to delete the picture from your computer.
If you do, they will be deleted from your computer and no longer appear in the pictures folder or photo gallery.

You can import your photos on your external hard drive without using the photo gallery.

Follow these steps:
a. open library and add the folders of all the photos by clicking on file and then click Add folder to Gallery.
b. navigate to the folder you want to add.

When you want to delete the images, delete the folders to photo gallery, not the pictures.

The Gallery, right-click on the folder and click on delete the gallery.

  • Remove the tags in Windows Photo Gallery

    This question is about the photo gallery Windows on a Vista operating system. My question is about the drop-down auto-liste of tags that grows each time you enter a new tag. Handy if you want to use something you've used before but a nuisance if you want to erase it. I figured out how to remove tags on the pictures still on the computer. My question is about the images that have been deleted and is not recoverable. There is always this tag leftover junk that applied to these photos that I deleted. appears whenever you try to add a new tag and resists all efforts to remove it. I contacted gateway computer people since they installed the operating system and got the solutions really wild just to remove the unnecessary tags. I thought that everything you enter, you should be able to delete... just... but this has proved to be a great puzzle. I hate to have to do a restore to original factory specifications and lose everything I've added to this day to get rid of these pesky tags. In addition, it simply repeats the problem unless I have find how to remove the little monsters.

    I hope someone can help...

    Hi Jo,.

    It's a good thing to be careful when you edit the registry.  In your case, as the registry key seems to be very specific to the Windows Photo Gallery, we can export the folder safely we are change.  Be sure to close the Windows Photo Gallery before you start.

    • Click the ball to Start .
    • Type regedit in the box start the search.
    • Navigate through the folders on the left at the following key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Gallery\Library\PreviewPane\LabelAssignment\MRU photo

    • Right click on the folder MRU in the left hand window and choose export.
    • Give it a file name (no matter what you name it) and save to the desktop.
    • In the right window, you will see keys named MRU00, MRU02, MRU03 etc...
    • Right-click on these keys and click on delete.

    Once you are finished, close the registry editor by clicking the x in the upper right and restart your computer.  When she returns to the top, open the Windows Photo Gallery and see if the tags are gone.

    If you receive errors of ANY opening of photo gallery, simply, do a right click on the file that you have already saved on the desktop and choose Import.  That will undo any changes that we have made.

    Please let me know if that helps.

    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk...

  • How to remove the history of tag list box in Windows Photo Gallery

    Photo Gallery maintains a list of every tag I used.  I don't have these old tags more and I would like to clear them from the zone drop-down list to the right of the screen, but I can't find an option delete by clicking right or any other way.  How can I do this?

    Hi sailorsteve,

    To clear the tag suggestions, follow the steps mentioned below:

    Important:- This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756

    1. close Windows Photo Gallery.

    2. go to start | Run | type regedit and press ENTER. (On Vista you will be prompted by the user account control dialog box if you have not logged as local administrator.)

    3. in the search for the Publisher of the registry at this location: HKEY_CURRENT_USERS\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\Library\PreviewPane\LabelAssignment\MRU

    4 in the pane, you should see the list of tags that appear in the auto-suggest list.  You remove the (s) you want.

    5. When you are finished, close the registry editor and open Photo Gallery.

    Note: Make this manual workaround solution does not remove the actual Tags of files or the database of the library.  So, even if you delete all the items in this list from this registry location, your actual tags remain intact.  Only, this clears the auto-suggest list.

    Tags used for photos stay in the computer even if the photos have been removed.  The remaining tags in UNROLLING in the space where you can enter a tag are no longer relevant and are just a nuisance.
