windows 8 LIbrary Management in Windows 8 Pro not working as expected

[News Bot]

Recently I upgrade PC from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8 Pro.  For the most part everything went well with the upgrade with some minor tweaks or upgrades to apps.

 

I am having an issue with Libraries though.  I have a share on my Server (Windows 2008 R2) which has Windows Search installed and indexing the shared folder location. 

 

On the windows 8 workstation I opened Explorer and when to libraries > Videos and then click on the Manage Tab.  Selected Manage Library which brought up the Video Library Locations window.  The Default save path is shown as well as the

Public one.  There is one other shown there but listed as unsupported.  It is an old UNC path from years ago.  I attempted to remove it.  In the videos library locations window the path is removed.  I hit Ok and it takes me back to

explorer and the path still shows up there.  If I click on Manage Library again to bring up the Video Library Locations window the unsupported path shows up again.

 

I tried to ignore it and add the new library going through the steps to add it.  Shows up in the library locations list but when I hit Ok it doesn't show up in explorer.  Its as if when I hit Ok the settings are not saving.
