windows 8 metro "pictures" application now showing proper pictures

[News Bot]

I'm having trouble getting my wifes laptop to display the proper "pictures" using the metro "pictures" application.  Let me explain our setup.

I have a desktop (my machine) with a dedicated media drive that holds all of our documents, pictures, videos, and music.  On my machine I simply included those directories under the various "property" dialogs as additional "library locations". 

So on my machine when I pull up the pictures application it shows them just fine.

Next, I shared those same media directories with everyone on the network so she could easily see them using explorer.  Once she was given access I did the same thing on her laptop, included those shared folders under the various "property" dialogs as

additional "library locations".  Whenever she pulls up her documents or pictures in explorer she can see the extra "shared" locations just fine.  The problem, however, is when she uses her metro style pictures application it doesn't seem to be including

pictures from those additional locations.

How can I get this to work so her pictures, documents, music, etc shows exactly the same way?

Thanks!

I wish I could program in theory. Everything works there.
