iTunes questions "Daave" <dcwashNOSPAM[ at ]myrealboxXYZ.invalid> 12/24/2008 12:44:23 AM A friend asked me to reinstall Windows on her laptop. Using Vaio's F10 recovery option, the D: partition remained with all the iTunes music files intact. C: partition is where a fresh installation of Windows resides. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes for Windows. I installed the program on C: but I later went into Preferences to change the location of the music directory, pointing it to the D: drive (specifically D:\iTunes Music). But when iTunes shows files in the main window, it instead uses the default files, found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Sarah\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music What is the proper way to consolidate everything? Also, any recommendations to make Windows run more lean, with regard specifically to iTunes? I noticed the following startup programs/processes: iTunesHelper Apple Mobile Device Bonjour Service iPod Service I suppose I could just disable them all, but I'd like advice from someone with experience with iTunes, preferably. TIA.

FWIW, I found the solution: Add Folder to Library from http://ucit01.uncc.edu/node/40
