Gallery2 is a very powerful and configurable image gallery script. One of its most useful features is the variety of methods you can use to create albums and upload images, one of them being through Windows Explorer, allowing you to select images through the file manager and upload them directly. This tutorial will guide you through setting up this feature.

Click on the " Download [install_registry.reg]" link on the following page, and when the download is finished, double click on the file. You will get a popup prompt asking you if you want to add the information in the file to the registry; click on Yes.
Now browse to a folder with pictures which you want to upload.
Under the "File and Folder Tasks" header on the left, you will see a "Publish this folder to the Web" link. Click on it. You will now be presented with the Web Publishing Wizard. Click on Next. You will now be shown a list of the images in the folder.
Here, tick all the images you want to upload to your Gallery2 installation. Then click on Next. You will now be shown a service providers list.
Click on your Gallery2 installation, and then click Next. You will now be presented with the stanard Gallery2 login page.

Your files will now be uploaded to your Gallery2. When it has finished, you will be given the link to the album.
