    Problems accessing Music Files in Slideshow module in LR 2.6 and Windows 7 64 bit

           Just got new computer 64 bit Windows 7.  Installed LR 2.6 and am having problem with slideshow and music.  Never had this problem before with my XP computer.  When I open up slideshow module and go to Playback window and check soundtrack and try to choose a music folder, I have a new problem.  It opens up "Browse for Files & Folders" dialog box as usual, but it only lets me browse on my desktop or my User name on the C drive.  My music is in my F drive where my data is stored.  I've never had a problem accessing my music in my F drive in my XP computer, but this setup limits where I can browse to.  Interesetingly, this works OK in LR 3 beta on this WIndows 7 PC where it opens up a dialog box "Choose a music file to play" which gives me access to all my drives.  In summary, I can't access music files stored on a drive other than my C drive using LR 2.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.

           I have attached a screen shot to compare the new Windows 7 Browse for Files & Folders dialog box to that in my XP computer.

       

           Would appreciate any suggestions.

       

      Thanks,
