The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    i'm an avid photographer, with about 20,000 photos conveniently organized in my file directory by type, location, event, schoolwork, etc, with more private pics/videos inconspiciously buried within one of hundreds of subfolders. I thought I was real clever until I hit the videos or pictures section of the library on WMP, and all 20,000 files bunched together and sorted by date, with very telling thumbnails to boot.

    This is why I have playlists, so I don't need to have the whole frickin library shown in WMP. Why the retardedness and how do I disable it?

    Edit: the only way to disable it seems to be to remove those files from my library, and access them only via c-drive/users/etc etc, which is an unacceptable solution!
