RE: WMP11 shared folders do not auto update when files are moved/inser

As far as I know, it is exactly the reverse, WMP automatically updates and no
way to disable this!

Looks like you use the Explorer to add to the file system directly.
You might try to select files in the Explorer and drop them in WMP11 with
the library in view.

Every time i move files into a folder i have shared, it neverupdates. I
always have to have WM11 search for media until it finds the files ive added
and then updates it in the library. Now thi would be fine if i didnt have 2
TB of files for WM to search about, which takes forever on a pentium 4
machine. Is there any way for WM to update the library in real time without
me having to manually search every time i move or add a file to the library?
