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.

Standard WARNING:
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...

    Delete several files of Windows Photo Gallery, their titles, however, remain.  How to eliminate unwanted titles?

    No guarantee... but if you try to clean

    The 'Pictures.pd4' database includes thumbs
    and metadata and is located at the following location.

    (depending on your version of Windows Photo Gallery
    the database could be Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6.)

    The database is a file... you will need to

    The file ends with a advanced

    change to Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6.

  • HOW TO REMOVE THE TAGS IN WINDOWS PHOTO VIEWER.

    I am running Windows 7-64 bit (SP1). I'm trying to remove labels unwanted in the drop-down list in the Windows Photo Viewer in the property list. I found several suggestions for Windows Vista, but none related to Windows 7.

    I think I found a solution.

    It was not a question of photo viewer that I first thought but was in fact a problem of Windows Search.

    He is somehow connected to Windows search. I removed my C drive options of indexing of the situation, then I deleted the Windows.edb file which is renewed when you restart the computer. Of course, it removes all the tabs, but not who is on the photo files themselves. I have more no tag unwanted or misspelled.

  • Is it possible to keep the pictures in Windows Photo Gallery

    Among the 400 photos that I put in folders on my desk to work with them using a much better Image Editor Windows Photo Gallery made thousands of photos and when I try to get rid of them in the photo gallery are removed from the computer. You are given no option to copy / paste only delete.

    Should I just uninstall Photogallery and put an end to his lame reproduction.

    Hello

    Windows Photo Gallery is designed to automatically display the pictures and videos stored in the folder of images on your computer. You can change the contents of the Gallery at any time by adding and removing folders, which is convenient if store you some of your photos and videos in one location other than the folder of photos on your computer. You can also add pictures and videos to photo gallery without adding the entire folder.

    Warning: Photo Gallery is another way to view and organize your photos and videos. It displays images and videos you have stored in the images and other files 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.

    If the answer is not to store your file in the images under your user profile folder or they will be deleted when you delete them from Photo Gallery.

  • I can't open the .jpg files from the desktop using "Windows Photo Gallery" as the default program. They open normally from nowhere elsewhere, but not directly from the desktop. No error, nothing happens.

    If I right click 'open with' open with other programs like IE but not "Windows Photo Gallery". It is not a specific .jpg file, this is all .jpg files. For example... I have a .jpg file in a folder on my desktop, open folder double click, it will open in the "Windows Photo Gallery". Copy and paste the SAME file on the desktop, double-click on, nothing happens. I tried to restart, change the default value of IE, open the file, it opens, by default change to "Windows Photo Gallery" doesn't work... I am confused?
