Vista - Bulk Tagging in Vista?

Is there any way to add a tag to multiple files at once? I have over
a thousand pictures that I migrated over without tags, and it would
make the process very simple if I could select entire folders to tag.

Am I missing a keystroke or shortcut?

You can do this in any Explorer window... just select multiple files in a
folder, then in the info pane at the bottom, click where it says "Add a tag"
and start typing.

Usually you can only do this for all pictures in a single folder, not
subfolders. However if you want to tag all your photos, you can go into
Pictures and type "*.jpg" (or a more specific search if you like) into the
search box. This will bring up all your pictures in one screen, then you can
follow the steps above.

Note: If you have selected a large number of pictures it won't show details
for all of them straight away, you'll need to click "Show more details..."

Hope that helps

Thanks Nick.

I realized that I was Selecting All in the folder, but it was
including an Originals sub-folder that Picasa creates. When the sub-
folder was selected as well, the Details wouldn't give the option to
Tag.
