SYMPTOMS
If you create a redirected folder, such as C:\NewPicturesFolder, and then set the new folder as the Pictures target folder by using Windows Explorer, when you start Windows Live Photo Gallery it does not recognize or open the new folder.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows Live Photo Gallery recognizes redirected folders only when a new database is created. Redirected folders are not automatically recognized when Windows Live Photo Gallery is started.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the Pictures folder in Windows Live Photo Gallery and then add the Pictures folder to Windows Live Photo Gallery again.
