Where the files are stored in the Windows Photo Gallery?

I recently signed up for a service online backup for my PC.  I was curious to see if he was doing market back my photos.  I went to the backup session and library found (including photos) was there, but not all of my pictures of WPG are here.

Where are all the stored files?
Thank you!

Windows Photo Gallery can organize and display images from multiple locations.  To find out where a particular photo is stored, right-click on the image, and then click Open file location . Steve Winograd, Microsoft MVP (Windows desktop experience)

  • I have just upgraded to Windows 7. We had all our photos in Windows Photo Gallery. Where are they? can we recover the Windows Photo Gallery?

    I just installed Windows 7 and I can't find the pictures I had in Windows Photo Gallery.  Where are they?  Is there a way I can still use the Windows Photo Gallery?

    Thanks for answer and sorry for not noticing that you have had so far.  Actually, I solved my problem by editing the registry and by associating file types .jpg and .jpeg image.  I think that the Viewer Windows Live Photo or other software that I installed messed up file associations and caused Media Center does not recognize files .jpg and .jpeg as an addition to the type library.

    I changed the settings in the registry as follows:

    1. under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, navigate to the key named .jpeg
    2 change the (default) string value so that the data field is "jpegfile" (without the "")
    3. Add a new string value named: 'Content Type' and together the data field "image/JPEG" (once again without the "")
    4. Add a new string value named: "Type perceived" and together the data in the field in 'image '.

    Do the same steps above for the key under HHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .jpg

    I don't remember if I needed to restart the computer or not for the changes to take effect.  I solved this by trial and error because I remembered having to add the same entry in the Media Center in Vista type to get files .mp4 playing in the video library.

  • Error unknown 0x88982F50 when you try to change the properties of a JPEG file in the Windows Photo Gallery

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack1 and use Windows Photo Gallery to managemy photos. I like the fact that I can integrate tags and ratings in JPEG files.

    I just noticed though, that the tag is no longer to be stored in the JPEG file. I know because when I saw the properties of the file tag information I have in the Windows Photo Gallery is not present. If I try to change the properties directly, I get an error message stating:

    An unexpected error prevented the operation. Make a note of this error code, which might be useful if you get additional help to resolve this problem: 0x88982F50 error: No. Error Description available.

    I checked the file isn't read-only etc.

    I searched Microsoft.com for this error and have found no help. I searched the internet and have seen many forums to raise this issue, but I can't find a solution.

    Note that when I try to fix an image in Windows (eye of harvest/red etc.) Photo Gallery, I also get an error that says I can't save the changes.

    For me, it looks like a component is faulty or missing, but how is it resolved?

  • How can I get the tags on the Windows Photo Gallery to attach the photo file?

    In the past, I had problems with the tags disappear as if by magic of my photos after many hours of their entry.  A few years ago I tried, as a measure of precaution, to make the files read-only and eliminate a bunch of change permissions, thinking that might prevent data disappear.  (FYI: it didn't.)  Anyway, recently I have been seized all the tags through the Windows Photo Gallery (mistake #1).  Only problem was, I don't remember I had changed permissions (error #2).  I have since reset the permissions, but now I have a bunch of pictures with labels WPG, but not in the files themselves, and I know from experience that it will be a mistake to keep it like that.

    So the question is this: How can I transfer the WPG tags only to the photo files themselves?  (Please tell me that there is an easy way...)

    Hi mysteryg45,

    You can try to re - mark photos & check if the problem persists.

  • Transfer pictures from email received to the windows photo gallery

    Transfer pictures from email received to the windows photo gallery

    Assuming you are using Vista...
    Windows Photo Gallery is just an 'intermediate '. Real images are stored in a folder. Usually, it is in the pictures folder.
    Click the Start button > right side, click on the photos.

    Now, the pictures that you received in the mail came as attachments?
    If so, and assuming you are using Windows mail...
    Right-click on the "trombone" (attachment) > click on save attachments > place you in the folder of your choice (the destination where the photos will be saved in) > click Save.

    Photos are now saved in the folder you selected. For the benefits of others looking for answers, please mark as answer suggestion if it solves your problem.

    Hi kstormu812,

    Welcome to Microsoft answers forums!

    I would like to know the following information to help focus in the right direction.

    a. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    b. don't you make changes to the windows photo gallery settings?

    c. What is the exact error message and error code?

    d. you are able to see other images saved on the computer with no problems?

    e. What is the file format of the photos or videos?

    If you have a third party photo editing software, try removing it and see if that will help.

    Note: Please try this step only if you can recover the program.

    Gallery Photo will show images with any of these file types:

    ·         BMP, JPEG, JFIF, TIFF, PNG, WDP

    If Windows Movie Maker is installed, photo library will also play videos in these types of files:

    ·         ASF, AVI, MPEG, WMV.

    If you view files, that are other than the files listed above, you will need to convert them to the format mentioned above.

    Windows Photo Gallery.  How can I change the settings in the Windows Photo Gallery to automatically open the image without going to the index first?

    Additional information: there are 2 computers that I use on the first Gallery Photo of Windows will open the image and allow me to use the left and right buttons to scroll through the rest of the photos in the folder, that's what I want.

    On the 2nd computer when I open an image it will open the Windows Photo Gallery in an index with thumbnails of the displayed record.  How can I change so that it opens the same thing as the first computer?

    I did the following on both computers; Right-click on the image and select open with...--> choose the default program--> go--> Program Files, Windows Photo Gallery, but it will be open always differently on computer 2.

    Both computers use Windows Vista 32-bit.

    Thanks in advance.

    Australian salvation,

    This would happen if the file associations are corrupted on the computer, try method to set Photo Gallery Windows as the default program for opening files jpeg or png below image types.

    (a) open default programs by clicking the Start button, click default programs.

    (b) click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program

    (c) in the following list of file protocol search jpeg and make sure that you have associated with the program that uses it and then check if it works.

  • PC control is no longer the printer to print in color from the windows photo gallery

    printer will receive the photo of the Gallery, but will only print in black and white.  I printed a test page for my printer without going through the computer and it will print in color.  Also, if I scan a picture and print it, it is printed in color, so I don't think that my printer is the problem.  I think that my computer does not have my printer to print in color?

    I think my problem is in the Windows Photo Gallery rather than on the computer that sends a command to the printer?

    I recently had some viruses removed from the computer and I wonder if in the process of fixing that, the person at the other end may have changed the settings or something related to sending a command from the PC to the printer?  Is this possible?
