Vista - Vista Photo Gallery duplicating my photos

I am finding that many of my photos have been duplicated in the main gallery
when they were imported. They are titled the same (ie Img_1689), but if I
delete one of the copies, one remains in the main gallery but the actual
photo is sent to the recycle bin from the folder that it was contained in in
Photos. How can I delete one copy in the gallery without deleting the actual
photo in the folder?

Depending on what you're doing this may be normal.

For example I have pictures tagged as pets, but also as cats, and sometimes
with a location too. As such the images will be shown twice or more.

I am "cleaning" my computer and organizing my photo CDs and have a similar
problem.I tag a group of photos before I download them from a CD so then I
know which CD is already in my computer(i.e.I taged IBM 1,IBM 2... 3,...as
for photos from my old IBM).They appear as pictures tagged IBM 1....and also
by "date taken" below.In my new HP I want them to be grouped by date
taken(then later maybe named if I have some time) so I decided to delete the
tags so I only have the pictures grouped by dates.Unfortunately if I delete
the tag,I delete also the folder that contains all the pictures assigned to
the tag and also the same pictures thet were grouped by date taken.So I have
the pictures duplicated but if I want to delete it from one location it gets
deleted from the other too.Any advice?Thanks.
