Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

I have all data including Photoshop's pictures on Drive "F", not "C", and when I try copying jpg's from Photoshop into Windows Photo Gallery I get nothing.

Wrong procedure I guess. Can someone show me how to copy them to the Photo Gallery?

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

You don't copy photos to WPG, you just tell WPG where to look.
File - add folder to gallery

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

Thanks for the reply. But the pictures stored in F are not in "Pictures". From reading Photo Gallery notes I see that all pictures stored under "Pictures" are visible in Photo Gallery. The problem is they(in F) are not showing up in "Pictures" at the start up screen. I can find them in Photoshop, but not under "Pictures".

========================================
You can add any folder you wish to the Photo Gallery.
Maybe the following article will offer some ideas:

Windows Vista -
Choose which pictures and
videos are displayed in
Windows Photo Gallery

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

Okay, here's what I found. I go to Pictures, scroll to Computer, click on F, and it opens in Pictures. Then I went to Windows Photo Gallery and copied and pasted.

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

Are you talking about the "Pictures" that shows up in the Start menu?
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.

Re: 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.

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

You don't seem to be able to clearly communicate your problem.

I suggest you take a beginners computer class at your local community
college.

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

Thanks, Bob, so much for your concern, suggestion. I'm new to Vista 64, but not new to computers. Just finished building this one. Am quite sure I can figure out my problems. Thought I'd save time by going to a forum.

Re: Can't get pictures into Win Photo Gallery

Yeah right, you are so knowledgeable you think you cannot "get to" your
machine while a backup is taking place.

I stand by my suggestion.
