Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Replace Windows Photo Gallery with Windows Live Photo Gallery
Hello everyone, I want to replace Windows Photo Gallery with Windows Live Photo Gallery, in regards to functionality. Anything Vista used Photo Gallery for, I want it to use Windows Live Photo Gallery instead. I know how make Live Photo Gallery the default viewer for seperate images; I want it to totally replace Vista's Photo Gallery. In other words, anything that has anything to do with Photo Gallery, I want Live Photo Gallery to open, execute, etc. Can this be done? Type "default programs" in the start menu and select "Default Programs". You can then set what you want with Live and the none Live versions in the "Set your default programs" section. > Hello everyone, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Gallery, I want Live Photo Gallery to open, execute, etc. Can this be > done? > Type "default programs" in the start menu and select "Default Programs". > You can then set what you want with Live and the none Live versions in the > "Set your default programs" section. Thanks for the reply. I know about that--what I was hoping to do was get WLPG to act as an upgrade. I want it to TOTALLY replace WPG--as in, WPG no longer exists on my system. >> Type "default programs" in the start menu and select "Default Programs". >> You can then set what you want with Live and the none Live versions in the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >WLPG to act as an upgrade.

Attempts to try to remove or disable it will only make Windows more unstable than it already is. Ditto for other Microsoft crap like Windows Explorer, Media Player, Movie Maker. The best you can do is install and set up something else as the default viewer. I think it is damn funny that Microsoft won't let anyone easily replace, delete or disable it's crap when they know damn well many of the core elements in Windows suck. |
