Vista Forums - View Single Post - Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

My Vista machine is backing up files right now, so I can't get to it, but I tried what you're suggesting. It said something about not being able to move a system root.

That's a shortcut to the Pictures folder under your user folder
(C:\Users\(youraccount)\Pictures).

If you have photos located on an F: drive, just open WPG, click on "File" -
"Add folder to gallery", and browse to the folder on the F: drive. You don't
need to copy and paste anything.

Or, is F: a removable card? If so, you probably want to import the photos
from F: to C: instead of adding it to the gallery.
