Zune hijacking Win7 libraries now optional

At some point in the past the excellent and free  Zune media player for Windows 7 changed from having it’s own configurable watched folders to tying into Windows “Libraries” for music, videos, and pictures, which was highly annoying if the media in your libraries was any way a sub- or super-set of the media you wanted in Zune. Obviously somebody heard my cries of annoyance, because today I noticed that something had changed with my watched folders, and while checking on them in Zune settings, I found a new option to divorce Zune and libraries, which I quickly utilized. Thank you Microsoft.
