This one is odd...

Using Windows 7....   On my desktop in the photo or video Library I can see both the public and all the user directories that contain photos and videos and can access all the directories and open all the files in all the directories.

However in Photo Gallery I can only see the files in the public directory but cannot see any of the folders or files in the user directories?  When I check to manage libraries from within Photo Gallery is shows that both the user and public directors are in the library and in fact has the user directory set at the primary default which is what I want.  In fact when I create a new folder in Photo Gallery it actually creates the folder under the user photo directory but then I can't see it within Photo Gallery.   But I can see it in libraries on the deck top.   Very strange....

Thoughts on what's causing this?   Assume a setting is out of whack somewhere.

Thanks!
