Ok so i would really like to get rid of the C: folder inside the music folder. I have no idea what its doing there and its making Windows Media Player and iTunes get every music file from the C: drive. That means all the sounds from my games and such get imported. It would be alot easier if i could just unassociate the C: drive in my Music folder. Can anyone help?

How did the C: get into the music folder? Probably by some drag and drop that went wrong - bad habit those drag and drops. Now you have to move it back where it belongs which is "Computer".

Could it be that you mean Music library, not folder My Music in your user folder? If so, do this:

  • Open Libraries
  • Right click the Music library, select Properties
    .

    .
  • If the C: drive is shown on Library locations, select it and click Remove

Thanks for your nice words.

When posting screenshots, I try to think that every solved issue can in the future help another user, maybe a newbie to solve his or her similar issue, so even if I know the OP to have some experience, I try to post like if it was for a total newbie. According to an old saying, a picture is worth thousand words; I've noticed it's often true.

That was a mistake to post the old scan of my passport in that other thread, I should have known it could be used against me in the future... ;)
