How to remove photos from windows media center? I finally got windows media center to work on my xbox 360, so now I can stream music and movies to my TV and such. However, it has also shared things such as my photo library, i.e everything in the "My Pictures" folder. However this folder contains files such as work I have done which I don't want to be browsed by whoever uses the Xbox. I cant find anyway of stopping any of the folders being shared though. One solution I have seen is just to move all the images out of files viewable by windows media center, but I really don't want to just empty my "my pictures" folder somewhere else.
Does anyone know of a solution?
Thanks | My System Specs |

Do you view pictures in WMC at all? If not, just go into the WMC settings, go to the library, and edit the Pictures library and remove My Pictures from it. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 15 L502x OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Core i7-2670QM Memory 8GB DDR3 PC3-10600 Graphics Card Intel HD Graphics 3000 + GeForce GT 540M Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Hard Drives 1TB 5400RPM Seagate |

No I dont use it to view images. But how do I do that? If I go Tasks -> Settings -> Pictures my options are slide shows, slide show screen savers, favourite pictures and ratings. Looking at the actual images I can right click, Manage Library -> Remove folders from the libary -> Select my folders, but when I click next it says no folders will be removed and if I just go ahead and go with it nothing happens. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit CPU Intel i7 3770k 3.5ghz Motherboard Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe Memory Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) Graphics Card Gigabyte GV-R795WF3-3GD Raedon 7950 OC 1200/1600mhz core/mem Sound Card None Monitor(s) Displays AOC 23.6" (main) HP 1730 (side) Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech G110 gaming keyboard Mouse Gigabyte M6900 PSU Corsair AX-650W ATX Case Corsair 500R black Cooling Corsair 500r Stock cooling (3x120mm, 1x200mm) & Corsair H100 Hard Drives Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB - 64mb cache

Yeah, it's sort of backward logic but I guess it helps to keep someone from accidentally removing folders.
Glad it worked for you. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Built 2/11/2011 OS Windows 7 Pro-x64 CPU i7-2600 3.4GHz - 3.8GHz Turbo Motherboard Intel DH67BL-B3 Memory 8Gb - 2x4GB, Muskin 991770 PC3-1333 Graphics Card Integrated Intel HD 2000 Sound Card Integrated Intel 10.1 HD, RealTek ALC892 Monitor(s) Displays Asus LCD VH222H, Haier HL24XSL2a Screen Resolution 1920x1080, 1920x1080 Keyboard Logitech EX100 Wireless Mouse Logitech EX100 Wireless PSU Seasonic 650W 80+ Gold Modular Case Rosewill Defender Cooling Stock CPU, Four 120mm case fans, PCH fan added Hard Drives Crucial C300-128Gb,
