Default Win Photo Gallery organizing scanned pix

I've scanned many old pictures and they are assigned the date in which they
were scanned. WPG does a great job of automatically organizing all my new
dig pix by date, but it doesn't work so well with old photos which I have
scanned. Is there any way I can override the date to say, 2000, so that my
pictures can be viewed in date order? Any suggestions on organizing old pix
by date?

Your pics have several dates, but I guess the one you are interested in is
date taken, as this would mean you can manage the old pics like the new
ones. You can modify this by changing the date that is displayed in WPG
when the info pane is visible. Or, you can do bulk changes to picture
information using a utility such as:

In general, select the photo(s), right click, select 'change date taken'

Well done, Jeff. I'm new to both computing and photography and would never
have guessed.
