SYMPTOMS
You use the Library Setup Wizard to add a multimedia folder to watch in Windows Media Center in Windows Vista. However, when you select the option to stop watching the folder, the folder or its contents remain in the Media Library. This problem can occur for any of the following Media Library areas of Windows Media Center:
 * Picture Library
 * Music Library
 * Videos Library

You expect that after you stop watching a folder, the folder or its contents will no longer appear in the Media Library.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because of the way that Microsoft Windows Media Player manages watched folders for the Media Library. Because Windows Media Center uses the Windows Media Player engine to manage multimedia files, you experience this problem in Windows Media Center.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
