    When you move a file or folder in Explorer that WMP is watching, it will then watch that folder. Remove the watched folder from WMP. If it is watching a folder that contains your new subfolder it will be added.

    File>Manage Libraries>Pictures

    Also check what folders your Pictures Library is watching. If it is watching all of C:, for example, it will continue to add all pics fom C: to the library.

    This is new in W7.

    i moved the pics from the folder it was watching then deleted the old folder like you said. when i do it leaves just the frames with the old pic names beneath them. it seems to be getting rid of the folder but it maintains the frames....weird.

    I find that it sometimes takes 'Applying media changes' for it to refresh properly.

    First stop watching the folder, then move the files, etc., making sure your folder is not a subfolder of a location already being watched.
