| Vista Ultimate x64 | Remove Folder from Gallery? Hi guys. How do I remove a folder from Live Gallery? The steps shown in Help do not work because the "remove folder from gallery" option does not exist in the right click menu. The only closest available option is delete, but that sends the folder to the recycle bin. Thanks |

File / Include a folder in the gallery. However... If you would like to clear Windows Vista Photo Gallery...try the following... ============================ The following steps should clear the Photo Gallery...then you can add any folder you choose. Open Photo Gallery and go to... File / Add Folder to Gallery In the Folder field...Type C:\ The drop window will open... In the drop window...choose... C:\Users / OK / OK In the left pane of Photo Gallery under "Folders"...right click..."Users" From the menu...choose... "Remove From The Gallery" / Yes. That should do it.....

Specifically...Pictures.pd4 and NavTree.State The next time you open the Photo Gallery it should be as it was the first time you opened it.

| | Re: Remove Folder from Gallery? Hello guys, in spite of the solution that is been given by John Inzer, shouldn't it work as it is mentioned? I've got the same problem and I uninstalled the whole lot. Went back to Picasa2. Later I installed it again and now I see that more people suffer from. It seems again another prove of the impossible ambitions of Bill G. It annoys me that they can come away with it. Hope they also read it and do something about it. HansN.

Simple fact is...you can only remove folders that you added unless you use the method I posted. Then you can add/remove any folder you wish. -- John Inzer MS Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |

Then make a copy for safty's sake, and actually delete the thing: Once you've sent it to the recycling bin, go in there after it and retrieve it; It is probably mobile from there lov "metril" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:b84bead4d59a7507ee80eaf386d300d5@xxxxxx-gateway.com...
