DELETING PHOTOS FROM SONY DSC W100 CYBERSHOT VIEWER

Sony DSC W100
I have installed the software for the camera, but cannot figure out how to delete the unwanted photos from the viewer software that came with the camera. Also, after installing the software onto my computer, it grabbed hold of pictures from my hard drive that was either sent to me in email or downloaded from the Internet. I only want pictures in the Sony software that I have taken with this camera. How can I control what it grabs from my hard drive?
Thanks!
Dave

Hi Dave,

First of all, I'd recommend not using the software Sony packages with the camera. Like most manufacturer-created software packages, it's pretty mediocre. There are lots of alternatives for photo management. For example, Google's Picasa software is free and superior to any camera-included software I've ever used.

Second, according to this FAQ on Sony's European site, you cannot delete photos from Cybershot Viewer. Instead, use Windows Explorer to delete the file.

Finally, I can't find any information on how to keep CyberShot Viewer from importing images other than the ones you've taken. This is likely one of the failings of the software, but you might want to search the software's help to double check.

Good luck!

I have been trying to delete a 'folder' from the cybershot system without success. I go to the web and see this is not just a problem for me.
I followed the directions (I thought) to update to Ver. 1.0, which had been suggested on a site like this. Seemed like a good idea at the time.............it deleted the file and a lot more; changed the format from mysterious blank squares with red x s to mysterious fields with grey x s and the whole thing makes even less sense than before.
Anyone?
Thanks
Is the only solution to delete the cybershot software entirely (Hoping that you had all those photos in Picassa too- I'm not sure....) and just use Picassa?
For some reason, when I got the camera I assumed I needed to install their software to interface with the camera.

I have a Sony dsc-w100.

if somebody could help me I'll appreciate it.........
