Hello Josh, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Could you post a screenshot of all this to help determine what may be wrong better?

Josh,

In a Library folder you can add or remove a included folder. These tutorials below can help show you more on this.

Library - Include a Folder

and

Library - Remove a Included Folder

Hope this helps,
Shawn

In the default Libraries, you have to included locations by default. One the "Public" (all users), and the "My...." (Current user's C:\Users\(user-name) folders only).

Your sister will not see what is in your "My Pictures" in her "My Pictures" since that is your user folder and not hers. If you would like for her to see it as well, then you will need to copy them into the C:\Users\Public\Public Pictures" folder. Anything in a "C:\Users\Public" folders will be shared by all users by default.

Hope this helps explain it better. If not, then please just let me know.

Ok let me explain again i may have said it wrong the right picture is my sisters when you look on "Pictures" on hers it doesnt show a preview of public pictures nor on "My Pictures" on hers it only shows public when you click on public yet on mine it doesn't it i want mine like hers that's what im asking because if i remove public ill just put it back i have very bad OCD.
