Picture User Folder vs Library Picture Folder / Add to User folder

Hi,



Form the issue description, I realize that you are trying to view your pictures in the default pictures library. To do so, you have to change the location of the folder that contains your pictures to the default pictures library folder.



To view your pictures in the default pictures library, I suggest you to follow the steps below.

• 
  Right-click on the default Picture folder
  and click on Properties.
  
• 
  Navigate to Location tab.
  
• 
  Click on Move…. and select the folder that contains your pictures and click on
  Apply and then click on Ok.
  

Hope the information helps. Kindly write back to us for further information on Windows. We will be happy to assist you.

library items appearing

Thanks Keith, just to be clear, I am not referring to the system folders, meaning the actual Pictures and Music folders themselves.

I made a Library so it can contain a few folders of various files so they are collected and list all in one folder. For some reason though, this Library folder (containing shortcuts to all the actual folders) also contains a Music, Pictures, Download folders
also. I can delete them so they do not appear in my library, so just the folders I want appear, but it seems they appear back there again (perhaps after a restart or some other thing.)

Is this what you thought I was saying?

I did not think they were taking up space, since they are just shortcuts of the actual folders, but I did not want them to appear in the library I had made. I presume that they are programmed to appear if you delete them. Not sure why this would be, since
they are listing in various other places anyway.



Thanks, any other comments appreciated.
