This is a second try at a problem/post I put-up a few days ago. I had some
names and facts wrong so I think it is best to restart from scratch...
I have setup WMC on a Vista box. Everything works fine except
when I scroll to the Video Library section the first folder is named after
the name of my c: drive
"MediaCenter1" .
This folder contains strange sub folders (16 of them) with titles like:-
Create Disk -- with subfolders - Components, Filters, SFXPlugins, Sonic
Resources, Stte, Styles
en-US -- with one subfolder Intro -- (Some kind of short demo video of
people in a room)
MIX -- with one subfolder Intro -- X02
Aspectratio4X3 (billiards demo). there are 16 in all.
When I go to my C:\ directory I find .wmv with titles like these in the
"C:\Windows\ehome" folder
(along with many .dll's etc.). Clearly WMC is including this folder in my
Video Library. I cannot seem to get rid of it. I tried including the folder
C:\ in the files to watch and then removed them from the files to watch with
no success.
Put simply. How do you remove a folder from the WMC video library listing.
Is there some Registry entry?
....
the Video folder (where I have a few sub folders each containing a number of
.avi files) I have a problem. The first sub-folder listed (which happens to
have the name I gave the computer itself, "Media_Center_1", has 16 short
video files (.WMV's) that I cannot locate. WMC will not let me delete these
files. More annoying I cannot locate, remove, or even hide that folder. It's
a bit of an eye sore amongst my own folders. It's not on my WMC list of
folders to watch for changes etc.
Any suggestions how I locate/remove this folder from being listed.
The other Vista box does not display this folder. I am really puzzled!
OK It looks like I got things a little mixed up in names. "Media_Center_1"
is the name I have for the
problem WMC computer. "MediaCenter1" is the name I have for the C: drive.
This is the offending folder
that appears in the WMC Video library (see below). This is the folder I wish
to remove. It contains strange sub folders (16 of them) with tittles like:-
Create Disk -- with subfolders - Components, Filters, SFXPlugins,
SonicResources, Stte, Styles
en-US -- with one subfolder Intro -- (Some kind of short demo video of
people in a room)
MCX -- with one subfolder Intro -- X02
Aspectratio4X3 (billards demo)
....
Ther are 16 of these strange folders. The all seem to be related to WMC but
I cannot figure how to stop them appearing in the Library listing.
C:\ is not in my list of folders to watch. The actual files are in some
kind of strange \Windows directory with all kinds of strange numbers in the
names.
