You'll want to edit your media library and remove check marks beside places you no longer want included in your media library.

Rebuilding/Reindexing Folders In Windows Media Center

The instructions are:

Exit Windows Media Player.
For Windows XP:
Click Start, click Run, type %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
For Windows Vista:
Click Start, click Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click OK.
Select all the files in the folder, and then click Delete on the File menu.
Note You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder.
Restart Windows Media Player.
Note Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

My Vista Home Premium X64 Works With This Method......Peace
