Duplicate pictures in Windows Photo Gallery
My HP Photo Essentials Program stop working. Microsoft advised that I
remove Photo Essentials which I did. I then went to my Windows Photo Gallery and found that I had as many as 17 duplicate copies of all my photos. If I remove just one copy to the recycle bin it also removed the original copy from "My Pictures". 1. Can anyone tell me why this happened? 2. Is there a way that I can remove these pictures from my photo gallery without removing the picture from the "My Picture file? I wish you all a happy new year and mine will also be happy if any one can give me some help with this frustrating problem. Thanks Dick |

Duplicate pictures in Windows Photo Gallery
It sounds like you have multiple thumbnails for each photo.
The images you see in Windows Photo Gallery are thumbnails of the actual photo. Sometimes the thumbnail database gets messed up. You can force a rebuild, by deleting or renaming it. The C:\Users\[username]\AppData folder is hidden, so you can't see it until you change your settings to show hidden files. To show hidden files, open Windows Explorer, click on "Organize", select "Folder & Search Options", Select "View", check "Show hidden files and folders", OK Close WPG, then go to C:\Users\(youraccount)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Win dows Photo Gallery\ Rename Pictures.pd4 to Pictures.pd4.old, and re-open WPG to see if that helps. -- Vista Home Premium 32 SP2 beta http://get.live.com/wlmail/overview http://download.live.com/wlmail "Potosh" wrote in message ...

Duplicate pictures in Windows Photo Gallery
Dave,
Thank you so much for your response. I followed your excellent instructions but was on able to remove the duplicate pictures. In looking back at the "windows photo gallery " I find that the "pictures. pd4" always returned along with "pictures.pd4.old". I tried to delete it but it would still came back. Again thank you for any help you can give me. Dick "Dave" wrote in message ... It sounds like you have multiple thumbnails for each photo.

Have a look at Clone Remover, it is utility to find duplicate files and to remove duplicate files on Windows and Vista. It will help you find and delete duplicate data on your PC or laptop.
