Hello Larry,

Double check to make sure that you have the Windows Search service set to Started and Automatic.

Thanks for the quick reply, but it is set exactly as you stated. Any other suggestions?

**Brink** · 03-26-2009

Larry,

Does refreshing (F5) the window allow it to update?

Where is the original folder located at?

**LarryE1946** · 03-26-2009

No, that doesn't work either. Anyway, I just deleted the Libraries. It's too confusing with Favorites, then Libraries, etc. I'll play around with them when the Final is released.

Thanks for your help Brink. I really appreciate it.

Larry

Ok Larry.

I've sent feedback to Microsoft and if I should get any type of an answer, I'll post here so maybe others may benefit also.

Regards,

Larry

That would be great Larry. Thank you. What was the folder that you had included in the Library that did this?

**LarryE1946** · 03-26-2009

It was the My Pictures folder. It didn't sync up in either Favorites or Library. Got me stumped.

**Brink** · 03-26-2009

What worked for me was to open the Pictures library, then right click on Favorites and click on Add current location to Favorites. Everthing then synced fine for me.

Thanks, I reset my favorites and looks like everything is synced now.

Next question, how do you get the Favorites to have a Tree view? It's probably right there under my nose, but I just can't see it. LOL
