I have a complex problem with my media library which I will need to break
down into smaller steps in order to solve. I hope someone in the group here
can answer one question regarding remvoing unwanted items that show up in the
navigation pane.
In the big picture, I share and stream all of my media from Windows Home
Server. Currently, music and video are not playing "nice" if at all in either
WMP or VMC on the client. I am sure there are other issues but for now I
would like to remove several items under the client's navigation pane in WMP
so I can start with a clean slate for my music library.

I have four redundant access points to my music library. I have the "My
library" pointer set up by the "monitoring folders" option in WMP and three
"Meida Shares" or networked pointers to virtually the same library. These
three also show up under the LAN devices in the Vista Network and Sharing
Center but cannot be eliminated there either. I don't know how they came to
be nor can I remove them. I cannot recall setting up these devices on my
client machine.

How can I remove in the Navagation Pane of WMP all instances of pointers to
libaries on Media Devices?

Click the Advanced button on the Monitor Folders dialog, they should
be listed there as additional libraries to monitor
