How to Add Items from Windows XP

Windows XP comes with a nice feature that allows you to publish content from your desktop directly to a web service. Follow the instructions below to enable this service on your Windows XP system.

  1. Install and activate the Publish XP module. Login and navigate to the Add Items page (e.g. under 'Options' within an existing gallery).
  2. Find the Windows XP tab, click it and download the configuration file available to the computer from which you want to upload pictures.
  3. Once downloaded, rename it to 'install_registry.reg'. If it asks you for confirmation about changing the file type, answer 'yes'. Right click on this file and you should see a menu appear. Select the Merge option (this should be at the top of the menu). It will ask you if you want to import these values into your registry.
  4. Click 'Ok'. It will tell you that the files were imported successfully. Click 'Ok' again.
  5. Open your Windows Explorer and browse to a folder containing supported images. Select the image(s) or a folder and there should be a link on the left that says 'Publish this file to the web...' Click this link and then follow the instructions to log into your Gallery, select an album and publish the image.
