Is there a way to quickly delete all of the vista photo gallery tags that come pre-loaded on the software as I would like to have just mine displayed?

Yes, there is, simply select all of the files that of the tags you need to change and go down to the bottom text box that says tags and type what you want it to be.

Once you selected and renamed the files (photos) as Ewan explained, then you should be able to right-click the tag you want deleted and select delete. (Deleting a Tag will not delete the pictures assigned to it.)

Hello all,
Thank you for your replys,
but,when you buy Vista it comes with a long list of many tags of which it has inserted the 21 of mine and I am trying to find a way to delete all of the original tags in the list and leave mine easily as I am fed-up deleting them one at a time.
Thanks.

The way I understand it, you created a tag for your pictures, but within the tag you created you also have all the pictures, movies, etc. that came preloaded with Vista. If that's the case, you can proceed as follows:

1. Delete the Tag you created (this will move the pictures to the Not Tagged folder)
2. Now select the pictures you want to create the New Tag for using either of these two methods:

a. If selecting multiple/continuous pictures in a row and/or column: Click the first picture on the Row or Column > Press and hold the Shift key > Move the mouse pointer to the last picture > Click any of the highlighted pictures and select Add Tag.

b. If selecting specific pictures from a row or column, while sleeping others you don't want to add to the tag: Press and hold the CTRL key > Click each picture that you want to create a new tag to > Right click one of the hi lighted pictures and select Add tag

Hello,
Think of it like this:
You have deleted all of the pre-loaded photos.
You have not any of your own photos on this computer.
On the Gallery page you still have a long list of pre-loaded tags which you want to delete easily.
Any idears?
Thanks.

As far as I know, you can only delete one tag at a time, but the list can't be so long as to take much time. You right click the Tag (right click the tag, not the title of the tag) and select Delete.
