Cannot include folders using Windows Live Photo Gallery Windows Live Photo Gallery is setup to allow users to specify individual folders to be included in the gallery. However, neither it nor Windows Photo Gallery will allow me to include any folders within my Windows account folder ("C:\Users\David"). For example, the most logical folder to store pictures is the "Pictures" folder for my Windows account ("C:\Users\David\Pictures"). When I try to add it, I get the following error message: "Folder can't be included in the gallery: This folder, or a folder it's in, is marked as hidden. Photo Gallery can't index hidden folders." Let me go ahead and point out that virtually everyone using either program on Windows Vista and Windows 7 has this same type of problem. The only working way I have found so far to circumvent this problem is to launch the command line utility and manually unhide both the "Users" folder and the Windows account folder. Is there really no better way to make either of these programs work? The questions I really want to ask but do not reasonably expect an answer to are these: Why not hidden folders? Why hasn't this obvious problem ever been fixed? Expecting that most readers this will want to know exactly how to circumvent the problem, here you go: 1. Click the Windows Start button and type "cmd" into Start Search. 2. Click the command line utility, "cmd.exe". 3. Enter the following commands (less quotes) to unhide the "Users" folder. a. "attrib -s -h C:\Users" b. "attrib +s C:\Users" 4. Enter the following commands to unhide each Windows account folder. a. "attrib -s -h C:\Users\[account folder]" b. "attrib +s C:\Users\[account folder]" You will need to be signed onto Windows using an account with Administrator priveledges. You must also know the names of the Windows account folders you want to enable for use in Photo Gallery and, of course, replace "[account folder]" as appropriate.

SOURCE: Problem with 'seeing' edited pictures and folders when edited in Digital Image

There is a problem with file association naming! Its pretty simple if you know what you are doing! In order for your other programs to see these files you need to right click on the file and use "open with" and select the program you would like to use. That sometime fixes the problem but what you need to look for is what it says after your file name example(name.tif, name.pdf, name.jpeg)and make sure that the new computer and its software is even compatiable with the old software. Try looking for an update at the software manufactures web site. The always have a support section for customers to keep there devices/software working properly.

This isn't necessarily a solution, but:
Within WMP, I believe under Help, Check for Updates. Won't hurt.

Depending on your media player ... you say generic, but there's surely a brand ... you may find it "mounted," like a CD or hard disk, within your My Computer section. On my dad's Sansa, for example, you can directly copy over music files, but videos have to be converted in a certain way. There's a default structure -- that is, there's a folder for podcasts, a folder for music, a folder for movies, whatever.

Without knowing the specifics of your device, it's tough to give a good answer. Try checking for updates, and if that doesn't do anything, then see if you can get at the drive deliberately and start copying over your files yourself.

You have to backup all SYSTEM files and reinstall the OS. That's the ultimate solution to your problem.

SOURCE: Folders take too long to open

It might be too early to tell if by just cleaning the registry solved that issue you had earlier but cleaning the registry in general helps in better performance and fix error messages. Having no info about what its really fixing your best bet is to monitor it for a while and make notes when it does happen again.If it does happen again to run the registry cleaner and see if solves it again. It could also have been a missing or invalid references associated with the folder that the registry was able to clean up.
