Vista Tag Tip
I recently solved something that was really annoying me in Vista. I had just started tagging photos when i mis-spelled the tags.
So I right clicked the tag in the left pain and chose to delete (and remove from all pictures).
To my irritation the option was still in the right hand drop down when I started to type a similar tag. No delete button here.
To remove the offending item you need to get into the registry.
- Exit Photo Gallery if it's open.
- In Vista, run Regedit as Administrator
- Go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery\Library\PreviewPane\LabelAssignment\MRU
- Right-click the MRU key in the left pane and Export it to a .reg file, in case you need to restore the original values.
- Click to select the MRU key in the left pane
- In the right pane, delete the MRUnn value entry or entries you don't want.
- Exit Regedit
