| | Help - folders were inadvertently copied to Win Photo Gallery I'm brand new to Vista and accidentally automatically copied the folders to the Photo Gallery. I can't delete them from there without deleting them from the computer and I can't move them out of there. I've so much that copied it's clogging it up. Please, can you tell me how to get the folders - Music, Desktop, Favorites, in fact my entire My Document folder from my old PC, out of there. Obviously I am challenged with Vista! TIA Marri |
