add a network drive to 'Libraries?'

[GranPaSmurf]

recently moved a 1 Tb drive off my main computer and set it up as USB external drive on my Linksys E4200 router.
I would like to add a folder on this drive to my 'pictures' library in Win 7. Messages tell me I cannot because it is not indexed. Context menu on the drive/folder dose not give option to index nor does the Windows Search allow me to add the networked drive as a location to be searched.
Is there a workaround that can make the off-line drive searchable from my Win 7 machine?

Hello GranPaSmurf,

You might see if you may be able to include a network folder using either method in the tutorial below.
