So there have been various people asking around about how to remove the default folders (Like Pictures and Videos) from Windows Photo Gallery. I noticed that deleting the folders (right click on the folder, and then delete) removes them from the listing, and moves the folder into the recycle bin. When you restore the folders from the recycle bin they aren’t readded!

So its a passable work around. If one of the folders are too big to fit in your Recycle Bin, move the contents of the folder somewhere else, and do the above, then after restoring move the contents back. Yay Photo Gallery!

(The ironic thing here is that as far as I can tell, they made the default Pictures and Videos folder special cases that you can’t remove, which is a decision I really can’t understand at all. Bleh, Vista why do you tease me so?)
