Files and Folders Not Showing
Hello All-
I am having an issue with a windows 7 pro machine. When a user is working in any program such as Photoshop CS6 when you go to open and it brings up the open file dialog the open dialog opens but not files are showing in the main dialog box but maybe one folder or one picture when in fact I have over 20 gigs of pictures. If I navigate on the left hand side I can browse all the folders and pictures. If I open up Windows explorer everything is fine and showing. The same issue is happening even in Outlook when I go to put a picture as business card image the same thing is happening. In Word I have no issues with opening files in my Documents folder. I have attached a screenshot of the issue from the Photoshop side.
Any help is needed. I have already reset the libraries, I have even tried creating a new library with a path to my pictures and I have had no luck.

That didn't work it was already unchecked
I can't help but wonder if the "pictures" folder is the wrong pictures folder or not the one you think.
If you had a image file on the desktop and browse to it to open it in Photoshop, does it show up?
If you had a folder of files on the desktop do they show up?

In order for these folders to be seen they should appear in the public folders of each and every user accessing the network
Look in your public folders/user name
on any of the computers including the computer that has a problem seeing the folders
make sure the folders for images video music are enabled?
open your network sharing center
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
choose homegroup and sharing options
choose folders to share

The computer is a standalone computer but I tried it anyway and still no luck
Sorry I was off track there,
rereading carefully your words,
I'm a little bewildered about this, but I believe I see your problem, now how to explain it.
in your screen shot it is saying pictures which is a folder name of a Library not your actual User My Pictures folder, looks as if you have either not navigated enough down
Go To File open/browse and then
replace it with your user name
then in the panel open my pictures>then open a just click on an image the name will then appear in the pane, you can even right click it and preview it.
Or if they sorted into folders open that then click on an image.
windows Explorer is not showing what you have opened in the directory there on the left
So basically,
your looking for a picture in a library not the real my pictures
referencing your screenshot, >>Look In User name then My Pictures.
