Media Player includes unwanted pictures

[Guest Anders F]

I use Windows Media Player to listen to music.

However, it has included a lot of pictures (.jpg-files) that I have

other programs to view and that I do NOT want to show in WMP.

I keep the pictures in a directory that I have never mentioned to

WMP.

 

In fact, when I copied the pictures to a directory I had just created,

WMP immediately started to include the pictures into the All Pictures

Library so now WMP has a double set of pictures.

 

I keep the pictures in the directory

C:\Documents and Settings\PersonalAccount\PersonalPictures

(nothing to do with My Documents or My Pictures).

 

How do I tell WMP not to include any pictures? Or just to include

pictures from directories I specify in Add To Library?

 

My system is XP Pro SP3

WMP is version 11

 

Thanks for any answer

As others will say, this isn't a WMP group. Also a quick google wouln't have

killed you would it?

 

You don't say what version you are using, but try this.

 

Check under options and, select library tab, click on "Monitor Folders",

"advanced" button. Configure the library functions here.

Well, I tried the

microsoft.public.multimedia.windows.mediaplayer

group but it is very inactive and I did not get

any answer.

 

I made the following search on Google

windows media player libraries "unwanted pictures"

and got 116 answers, none to my problem.

I made other searches too but as usual with Google

most gave too many answers.

 

I thought it would be enought to give the version

as 11 but if you need more it is 11.0.5721.5145

But I suppose this is obsolescent now as I could

configure the libraries according to your

directions. So thank you.

Re: Media Player includes unwanted pictures

 

The correct procedure is to open Media Player, Tools,Options

Library (TAB), Monitor Folders [button] and remove the folder

that holds the content you do not wish to be cataloged.
