Guest Anders F Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 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 Anders

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.
Guest Anders F Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Re: Media Player includes unwanted pictures 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.

Guest R. McCarty Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 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.
