  ========================================
  As Anteaus... some or all tags have
  archived only in the exclusive Pictures.pd4' or 'Pictures.pd5 '.
  file of database "Windows Photo Gallery" / "Windows Live Photo
  Gallery "... but... If you have not installed Windows Live Photo
  Gallery on your XP machine, it may be worth a try.

  Good luck...

• 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...

• Tags in Windows vista and Windows Photo Gallery

  I recently lost the ability to open Windows photo gallery using the desktop icon and therefore cannot organize my photos using tags.  Is it possible to restore this function?  I can access the Gallery from the extracts of 'my photos', but only in the case of date format.

  No guarantee... but following Microsoft "don't fix" may be worth a try:

• 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.

• How to delete a picture in Windows Photo Gallery tag files or specific files of photo files without deleting the image completely out of all of these places, leaving the image in one place vs. have in several places?

  I'm trying to manage my photos already imported and downloaded on my computer.  There is a master "All photos and videos" folder in the Windows Photo Gallery all in the top left of this program.  Below that is a folder "Images".  Below that are "Tags" with a certain number of 'labelled' folders below.  Lower in another main 'Images' folder with a folder of the yellow file beside him icon.  Here's this file, a number of other folder also named with the file yellow folder icon next to them as well.

  What I'm trying to do is manage all these photos and who want to keep a copy of an image in one of the folders of images with an icon of yellow folder next to him.  However, if I delete an image from anywhere in one of the places mentioned above, no matter which, a copy or copies of the image lies, the given image and all copies in one of the other place listed in the first subparagraph above are deleted and this specific photo is present ONLY in the recycling bin.

  How can I do what I want to do here?  I hope that's clear enough!

  Thanks a lot (someone)...

  Hi EKahn,

  When you delete a file from the library, you do not your computer delete it. If you delete a folder, photo library no longer displays images and videos that were in that folder, although the file remains on your computer.

  You can remove the folders that you have added to the Gallery of photos at any time, but you cannot remove files that are in the default Photo Gallery. Remove a folder prevents him from appearing in the photo gallery. If you delete a photo, it is deleted from your computer as if you deleted the images folder.

• 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.

• Rename several Photos in Windows Photo Gallery Changes their order... Why and how to avoid this phenomenon

  When I click on Edit: select all and file: rename to rename all the pictures in a file, Windows Photo Gallery changes the order of the photos in the file when it renames them. I need all the photos in their original order as many of them are sequential in nature, so how do I rename all the pictures in a file and make them come out in the original order after renaming?

  Thanks for any help...

  Once rename you them, it shows them in this order,

  Depending on how you have renamed them, you could look in the records of the event, or an association of tag system, because wlpg bed than the names that the order in which he plays or show thumbnails,

  The exception would be if you did a slide show you can rearrange the way they play by dragging them around.

  Also, I think you should consider tags group and no file file rename.

• 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?

  Hi RealPaulus,

  Solution for error 0x88982F50:
  1 open the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar
  the bottom of your screen and choose the task manager of

  Manager screen.

  3. in the processes tab, select the corresponding button at the bottom left
  of the screen that says "show processes from all users".
  and click on it. Click on 'Continue' in the UAC prompt that
  rises.

  4. the screen should turns off a moment, and then return with
  many more listed processes. Click on the column "command."
  Line"to sort the list and search for:

  "C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmpnetwk.exe"

  Read the description in the next section on:

  Windows Media Sharing Service reader network

  5. click on this process. Click the end «»
  Treat button"at the bottom right of the screen.
  Confirm 'End process' if necessary.

• Windows Photo Gallery does not save the edited images.

  I have problems editing contrast and red-eye with Windows Photo Gallery.  I get rid of the red eye and change the brightness, close gallery and get an error message "an error prevents photo library to save this image."  The image isn't 'read only', it is a jpeg file, and I am the owner/user.  I edited many other images, but now it restricts me to do these as well as a few others that I've ever edit.  Any ideas on what's going on?

  Hello sjleite,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  If you encounter problems, saving images edited when you could before, I would ask

  If you have installed the 3rd party software that may interfere with the Windows Photo Gallery.

  (1) If you have a third Party photo editing software, try removing it and see if that doesn't

  correct your problem.

  (2) other forums, I found several mentions to be a problem with a corrupted author field. Look in the file properties Details page. You can get the properties on the photo in question, scroll to the right section of author and origin and remove characters. Select apply and close the file. If the field of copyright has no characters to remove, try adding a few characters and then delete them.

  (3) the last thing to try is to check the permission on the Windows Photo Gallery.

  Go at the beginning and list programs. Right-click on the icon of photo gallery windows live and go to properties. Select tab security put highlight the Everyone group, click the button change. Put a control under all permissions allow. Then do the same for the users group. Click on apply or OK.

  If please post again and let us know if these suggestions helped solve your problem or if you need further assistance.

  Sincerely,

  Marilyn

  Are you an error when you try to add a legend?  Add Caption function won't add the legend of the actual photo.  Just legend will appear in the details pane of the photo as a way for you to describe the photo.  If it does not appear in the pane of information within the Windows Photo Gallery, then everything works correctly.  If this isn't the case, please let us know so that we can continue to troubleshoot.  Please see using Windows and how the article below for more information on tagging and captioning to your photos.  Thank you and please let us know if you have any other questions.
