How To Remove Annoying Sample Music Folder From Vista Media Center


If you’re a Windows Media Center user, then you are have probably given up trying to remove the annoying Sample Photos, Sample Music and Sample Videos folders.  It took me ages to find a way to find out how to remove them permanently from MCE, and the solution I found in the end was very simple.

All I had to do was delete the following folders to permanently delete the Sample Music, Sample Photos and Sample Videos folders:

  • c:\users\public\public pictures\sample pictures
  • c:\users\public\public videos\sample videos
  • c:\users\public\public music\sample music

The change should be instantaneous.
