Window Photo Galleery

[Marv]

Is there a means of removing this program from my system? It doesn't
show when I try Add/Remove programs. It is interfering with my startup
and starting Internet Explorer. I have never used it and simply would
like to get rid of it.

Operating system ?

Open it up...what does it look like and what version ?

Is it one of these ?

If your talking about Windows Live Photo Gallery, it's part of that
bundling. Go run the Windows Live item in Add/Remove Programs and
deselect what programs in the bundle that you don't want.

There's a picture here.

You'd want to tick "Photo Gallery and Movie Maker".

But as a curious person, before I did that, I'd want to
scroll through the program folder and verify I actually had
a Windows Live Essentials setup. And perhaps that the
installer for it was handy, if I felt the need to
put that version back. Check the version info and
note it in your personal log file for later. You can
still find older versions for download, somewhere.

Fyi...earlier versions than 2012 allowed separate installation and removal of Live Photo Gallery and Live Movie Maker....2012 the
two programs are packaged as one product for install and removal. There are a few work-arounds that have surfaced to prevent that
or even mix-match earlier MM versions with the 2012 suite or products.

Thanks all. I got it removed and solved a problem I was having.
