Post subject: Root folders in Media Center Library, unable to remove

| Hello!
I told Window Vista Ultimate's Media Center to watch a folder on one
of my secondary hard drives, E:\Archive\All_Pictures
Then I decided that I didn't want *all* of those pictures visible to
my friends and roommate via the Xbox extender, so I told Media Center
to no longer monitor that folder. Well, this didn't work... The
"All_Pictures" folder is no longer in the Picture Library for direct
access, but now its root folder E:\, is.
?!?!!
So one can now get to that folder indirectly via the E:\ root folder.
And all those pictures are still indexed, plus more, now that the root
folder is available. 
How on earth do I tell Media Center to remove these links? |

| Frst check that it isn't set as one of the automatically scanned media
folders in Media Player options. Then you can use this registry edit. Treat
the unwanted folder as in this example:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media
Center\Settings\AutoScan]
"_arSeenVideoDrives"="E:/"
changed to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media
Center\Settings\AutoScan]
"_arSeenVideoDrives"="<<NULL>>"
Works with audio, pictures autoscan as well.
Now if someone knows how to get rid of a *^&^%$%$^ webcam link among the
MC video folders...

Worked... sort of.  There were actually two "E:\" icons in the
Picture Library. You're fix got rid of one of them...
Anyone have any idea where the second one is coming from?
Totally frustrating...
Thanks again!

Media Player might be monitoring that root folder for media and that's why
it is being included. If you have a webcam or other imaging device set to
save captured images/video to the root of E: that could do it too.

Unfortunately, I checked media player's watch folders already. Not
the cause here. And I don't have any imaging devices or webcams
saving to E:\
Any other ideas out there? Can I just clear/reset the whole thing? Or
reinstall Windows Media Center?
