How can I view pics on external hard drive with Vista Photo Galler

I want to view pics on my external hard drive. No problem with XP's Picture
and Fax Viewer, but Vista's Photo Gallery only displays what's on my laptop's
hard drive.

Vista is flashy, but really sucks. I want my, I want my, I want my WXP...

==============================
What if you go to...
File / Include a folder in the gallery...
then browse to the external hard drive
and select the picture folders.

Have you added the external drive to the list of folders that WPG looks at?
