Compass Points~ Mapping the Way: July 2015
I have heard stories of "homing." "Homing" is the practice - or event- of finding home. Of coming home. Some definitions of "homing" point to the inherent ability of one to find a place of origin- 'een traveling through unknown territory- think of homing pigeons. A couple of weeks ago I posted a message on FaceBook that our cat had escaped from the condominium that we're renting. I was stupid enough to take her outside before she was fully settled and a sudden noise startled her and she bolted. I was just short of frantic; this cat is really my husband's cat and here I was in PA (he was still in CT) and I'd lost the cat and I couldn't imagine how she'd find her way back to our condo... our place... that looked exactly like the other 200 brick-faced, cement-patioed places in this development. I fretted. I paced. I called my husband. And the cat came back an hour later. She slipped in the narrow opening of the screen door, cool as a cucumber, as though nothing unusual had happened. Homing. My posting of this story on FaceBook elicited a great number of responses- many of them with homing stories of other cats and dogs gone astray. My favorite one was about the cat who ran away and 7 months later returned... on Easter. An appropriate liturgical homing.
I was out on a bike ride this morning. I like to walk, run and bike around the "neighborhood" of our condo complex. I'm fascinated with how people personalize their small plots of land to make them their own. There are garden statues of Mary, mini windmills, short trellises with climbing vines, annual flower beds and wind chimes. Our next door neighbor has a pink flamingo standing in a large grecian urn with tropical flowers spilling out of the top. Anything goes, it seems. And all of it in an effort to "make home." I joined the game and found a solar charged lucite hummingbird that floats over our patio at night, changing color every three seconds. It's a happy little thing. And while these talismen help to project our identity and claim our space, to "make home," there is a deeper source of identity in which I find the ultimate "homing:" The homing in God. I could not help but think, this morning, as I rode around cul de sac after cul de sac, of the worlds of Augustine: "Thou hast formed us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee." (Confessions, Book 1)
Lord of all grace, your hands swift to welcome,
your arms to embrace; Be there at our homing and give us we pray, your love in our hearts, Lord,
My grandmother called it a “snippet.”
In seminary, I learned the Greek word, “pericope.”
In the past two weeks, I’ve been dealing in snippets… pericopes… of the life and times of the
Episcopal Church in Central Pennsylvania and assembling a new life for myself
in a place that is brand new to me by collecting experiential snippets.
Snippets and pericopes are bits. Bits of stories, bits of scripture, things
(words, stories, experiences and places) that are not fully representative of
the whole to which they belong, but are integral
tads that tell part of the story.
When we go to church on a Sunday, we hear the lessons from
scripture and they are small snippets of much larger books. Sometimes- most usually, in the epistles and
the gospels- we hear these lessons seriatum:
week by week we get the next part of the story, in order, eventually making our
way through the book. In this season of
the church year after Pentecost, we also have the option of making our way
through a book of the Hebrew Scriptures (the first lesson) in a seriatum manner, as well. At other times
of the year, these first lessons are usually selected to illuminate the
gospel. But even seriatum
reading of scripture in church on Sunday is a little maddening. Who remembers from week to week what we
heard… last Sunday? What if we miss a week? Is it helpful to hear only part of the story? If we follow the Daily Office, those of us
with “advancing age memories” have a better chance of stringing the story
together - the story advances day by day, and the developing story is easier to
follow. These days, as I read Morning
Prayer I’ve been enthralled, again, at the stories of David, Samuel and Saul;
this morning Saul came to a bloody end at the tip of his own sword, unwilling
to fall to the Philistines. Heavy stuff
to digest before one’s even finished the first cup of coffee.
As I make my way around town, I am collecting snippets of experience that are informing
my impression of Harrisburg and Central PA… and guiding my way forward as I
(we) choose a place to live. I
discovered St. Thomas Coffee Roasters at the rotary in Linglestown. Delicious coffee; soft sofas; generous pieces
of custardy quiche; a cozy, hip vibe and a generous front porch on which to sit
and watch the world go by. I got to
drive from Mount Hope back to Harrisburg last Sunday through some amazing farmland.
The clouds were puffy white, the silos stood in the center of the farm like
sentries, keeping watch; the fields went on and on and on in wavy rows of corn,
not quite as high, yet, as a elephant’s eye. It was a pastoral “snippet” that made my heart sing. I found the post office on Jonestown Road and
mailed a package.. Now, this is not an award-winning achievement (and, truth be
told, my GPS got me there) but it is another snippet. Another dot. Another piece of putting a life together here, in a new place, that goes
into the mix of experience, and adds up. Next time, I won’t need the GPS.
Most importantly, I’ve
been listening to stories. Stories
of diocesan leaders, parishes, bishops, events and places that are helping me
to form a picture of this place where God has sent me to lead. I’ve heard about church picnics, concerts,
floods, people rallying together to support the sick, and joining together to
build parish houses. I’ve heard about
youth events, mountain bands, vacation bible schools, choirs and
preachers. I’ve heard some stories of betrayal, disappointment and loss. And I’ve heard snippets of great joy, delight
and deep satisfaction. These are pericopes
of the past, mostly, and they are helping me to understand where you’ve
been. No one story tells it all. And every story is essential.
to the day when I can tell some
stories. When I can share my
snippets of life here, as an Episcopalian in Central PA. and know that they are
part of the whole truth. But now, I’m collecting- snippets, bits, tads, pericopes. And it is all good. I’m listening..
.and I’m learning.
Ponder about the stories that you might tell about what you’ve seen… about the place that you hold as your own in this collective
story. What pericope is yours? Which snippet do you claim as integral to the
story of you and your community? And
what might someone “from away” learn from you- only you- that is important and essential?
dimly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know only in part; then I will
know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13: 12
These words of St. Paul wind up his “Hymn to Love” - part of
Paul’s first letter to the new Christians in Corinth. In this letter, Paul has been working to call
the Corinthians back to basics- they’ve been distracted by the splendor of the
many gifts of the Spirit and in this letter Paul is trying to re-ground them in
the fundamental principles of the Jesus Movement: Faith, Hope and Love… and he teaches “…the
greatest of these is Love.” (I Cor. 13:13)
The part of this letter that has resonated with me this week
is the verse about seeing in the mirror. Older versions of scripture use the phrase, “...for now we see in a glass, darkly….” (which strikes me as a little more mysterious
and antique) but really, either of these translations capture quite well, my
experience of this past week: Now that I
am here, in Central PA, I am beginning to see, face to face, the beauty and the
gifts of this place and the work to which you have called me. One week ago, my husband Glenn and I waved goodbye to the 18
wheeler in our CT driveway and watched as it lumbered out of our driveway and
down the narrow street (barely missing
the power lines and our neighbor’s parked car). Inside this truck was nearly everything we owned. We waved goodbye and I held a slip of paper
in my hand with a scrawled address of a storage facility in Camp Hill, PA; that’s
where our “inventory” would rest until we came to call for it. The next day, Saturday, we loaded up a
rental van with the remainder of our things (the “basics” that we thought we’d
need for our temporary rental unit- clothes, pots and pans, linens, office
supplies) and we found our way to Rt. 8 and to Rt. 84, to Rt. 684, to the Saw Mill Parkway, over the “Tap,” through New
Jersey, and… finally, to PA. I was
sad. Sure, I was sad. I’d lived in CT
for 52 years. We’d lived in our community for 30 years and were leaving
friends, family and a happy life. But we
were, finally, going to see what it was that we figured was God’s next idea for
us: ministry in Central PA.
Finally, after more than a year of thinking, dreaming,
reading, talking and praying about this place and this call… we were going to
get started. In this past week, I have begun to get a clearer vision of
the work ahead. I’ve settled in, some,
at Pine St. and I have begun to figure out some of the essentials: Pine Street is a one-way street. Cats do not abide harnesses and leashes (a
story that deserves a blog post all of its own). Duke’s mayonnaise may become
the replacement for my beloved Cain’s.
The office staff has been incredibly welcoming and I’m
beginning to find my way around that old mansion that has more nooks and
crannies than an English muffin. I asked
Carolyn to hold off making any “outside” appointments for me in this first week
so that I could get my bearings and I have spent time with Bishop Gepert and
staff members trying to catch up on the “work in progress.” One thing that I want to acknowledge and
honor is that while I have been sitting in CT for more than a year dreaming
about this place and, even more, for the past 4 months since the election,
making plans… you have been here, in PA, worshipping, working, singing,
praying, and participating in the mission of God, all along. I am hardly coming to “get started” with you
as much as I am coming to wade in the water with you, and join in the ministry
and life that God is already working in you, for the sake of Jesus and by the
I have ideas. Sure, I
do. And my first idea is to get to know
you. To see you, face to face. Some of
my early initiatives will be to engage a more compact visitation schedule so
that I can be with you in your parishes as frequently as the calendar will
allow. I’m hoping for a more robust
visitation experience that (more often than not) will allow for an “overnight”
visitation with a dinner or meeting or fellowship event on Saturday afternoon,
leading up to Sunday morning. I’m
working to find space in my calendar to include some 3-day Convocation “tours”
in which the members of each Convocation can plan a “field trip” for me to show
me their particular part of the diocese, and, even sooner, I am looking forward
to the “Meet and Greets” that each Convocation is setting up for us in August
to spend time together and to begin to get to know each other. For me, the Church is
the people. You’ve called me to lead the
Church in the Episcopal Diocese of Central PA- to listen for God’s Word to us
and to find ways for us to best
participate in God’s mission of reconciliation and restoration. I am thrilled that the time has arrived. I am ready to meet you, to hear your stories
of success, to learn about the sticking places and disappointments, to craft a
way forward and, above all, to remain close to what St Paul – and Jesus- would
hold up as True: Faith, Hope and Love.

You may have started wondering if I was still writing this blog. The answer is yes but I’ve been busy. I recently started a new job – as a volunteer manager. It’s a crazy busy time of the year and I’m learning a new job so it’s been keeping me pretty busy. In addition to my new job, I am still working at the hotel. I also have some blogs I need to write for another nonprofit agency. Until my life settles into my “new normal”, this blog will have to hold you over for a little while til I have more time to bake than just throwing a frozen pizza in the oven. It’s times like this when I wonder how people juggle work, family, and still have the energy to do fun things.
I’m super excited to share this recipe with you because it is just four ingredients. It’s a super easy and very delicious dessert.
Chocolate Dump Cake from Pinterest
Mix milk and pudding. Add box of cake mix and stir. Pour into 9 x 13 pan. Scatter with chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
I used sugar free pudding. I think you could also use a sugar free cake to make it healthier.
I used skim milk and it still turned out fluffy. I think I cooked it for 25 minutes to prevent it from burning.
I also cut the amount of chocolate chips to 3/4 c. and it still had a great chocolate flavor.

I’m not exactly sure what recipe I was looking for when I ran across this recipe on The Cooking Channel’s website. It is a Hungry Girl (2010) recipe so you know she has turned one of your favorites into a healthier snack. This recipe reminded me of those Warm Delights by Betty Crocker. This homemade version is probably cheaper and super quick. Enjoy!

As it IS. A journal by Adwait D: Picasso vs. Modigliani
Picasso vs. Modigliani
I have recently seen many paintings of Picasso and Modigliani, online of course. I wish to share with you what i feel about them. I am no art critic so please bear with my ignorance if i have missed out on anything.
Modigliani had a deep respect for Picasso as an artist. He used some aspects of Picasso's cubism, and the way Picasso would depict his artistic friends during his blue period would remain one of the main themes in Modigliani's own work.
Picasso's style is a fascinating synthesis of many of the important styles in modern art, in which he "borrowed" from many of his contempories, and in Modigliani's case he would borrow from a man who had initially borrowed from him.
No-one neither disputes the expressionist quality of Modigliani's art, nor will many disagree that Vincent van Gogh is the arch-father of expressionism. It therefore seems unlikely that Van Gogh was not a major influence on Modigliani and there is ample evidence that he was.
I am now studying the CUBISM style of painting invented by Georges Braque and Picasso.

the knack: Cover Up in a Snap with Cleava
Cover Up in a Snap with Cleava
I always, always want to dress appropriately. I wear knee-length Mad Men-type dresses or modern pant suits to meetings. No cleavage, no nothing.
But some of my tops and dresses are a little low cut for during the day. We're not talking Jersey Shore popping-out kind of thing, but enough that I need something to cover up and look professional.
Up until now, I've been wearing tight, bodice-tight bandeau tops and layers camisoles and tanks underneath my dresses and tops. The problem with these options is either I can't breathe or I get rolls underneath my top or dress from my underthing bunching.
Then I found Cleava and all my wardrobe malfunctions disappeared!
First of all, I have to tell you that it looks much better in person, than on the website or packaging. And secondly, once you use it, your wardrobe options will double, maybe even triple.
I love that you can put it on before or after you get dressed, so you really can go from the office to drinks on the patio in one fell swoop! Here's a video on how it works. It's so easy: the triangle-shaped fabric (it kind of looks like a thong) snaps into place around your bra straps and through the front part, in between the cups. This gives you a smart straight line across the top of your chest, keeping your cleavage undercover until you decide to reveal it.
And the best part? You no longer have to wear an entire other layer under your outfits (just think of how much cooler you'll be in this sweltering heat!). There is no bunching or bulging of tops or underthings. It stays in place even when you don't, so you don't have to ever readjust your clothes again.
I got the Original Classic in Black, but I'm telling you - I'd love a bunch of 'em to extend my wardrobe through the seasons. Just imagine the possibilities: different colours, different materials - lace, rhinestones, ooh la la!
Cleava is a complete wardrobe saver. My dresses and tops that I could only wear out after work? Now they're doing double duty. All thanks to this little fashion hero.

Mommy and the Sin City: August 2013
Last time we bought a 50-pack of diapers, I decided this was the last of it. We switched Mia to pull ups when she moved up to the 2 year old class, because they informed us that the teacher would automatically put her on their little bitty toilet every time she had a wet diaper, just to get her used to it. 3 months later, her teacher told us that she was OK with us dropper her off in undies, if we wanted to.
I take that as a gentle nudge to get this transition done already. So, for the past few Saturdays and some Friday afternoons, I've been letting Mia go diaper free all morning, and having her sit on her potty every 20 minutes or so. After the umpteenth time I'd interrupt her activities to sit her on that little frog-shaped toilet without her actually going, she'd start getting real annoyed with me. And vice versa. I would get super frustrated that she'd wet herself within 5 minutes after I just took her to sit down, so I gave up after 2 sets of undies. This weekend, I told myself to just give it one more chance past the 2 accidents.
After that second one, I watched her like a hawk. Like a weird stalker hawk continuously staring at my daughter's crotch. But, the weird crotch stares paid off when I was able to grab her just as I saw a TINY speck of moisture and run to the potty. It scared the crap out of her, and she was super upset with me, but once she calmed down, she did it. She finished up in the potty, and we celebrated and cheered, and gave her some candy. And with that - she understood what the potty was for! We continued with undies until around noon. She had one more accident, but tinkled in the potty many more times. So, challenge continues, but at least she knows what we want when we put her down on the potty now!
We've been continuing training every evening after she gets home from daycare, and while we have yet to do a successful #2 in the pot, things are still going pretty well (she waits to #2 until she's got a pull up on...). The tentative goal is to go pull-up free all weekend, except for night time and naps. So, here it goes!
For a bit of light reading...
Since I haven't picked up a non-study guide book in over 6 months, one of the things on my post-bar list was: Read fiction. With that being the first criteria, there are several others that I had to impose on my tired, overcrowded brain. Easy, unrelated to my life, and nothing that would even remotely qualify as "literature". First up, the Beautiful Creatures series, also known as the Caster Chronicles, though I had no idea of what in the world that meant at the time I downloaded it onto my Kindle. It's a young adult (Easy = check!) series of 4 books which I believed to be a love story between a human and a witch (unrelated to my life = check!). You know, Twilight meets Harry Potter (not literature = check!).
Not surprisingly, I finished the first book by Monday evening and it was extremely satisfying. There really is nothing like losing yourself in one of these books! More Twilight than Harry Potter, but the heroine is significantly less annoying than Edward and Bella, which, in my opinion, the biggest downfall of the Twilight series. It has its roll-your-eyes moments, but overall, it is exactly what I needed. Next on the list, the Divergent series!
Oh, on a side note, I've decided to stop making the bracelets from my Etsy Shop, so I discounted the bracelets to cost, and hope to close out my inventory before moving on to something new. So take a look at anything you might have liked before, and buy it at a much lower price!
I have several posts started in my draft folder that were soooo depressing that I couldn't even finish typing them. I mentioned briefly in my first post-bar post that I was having trouble adjusting to life post-bar. I'm finally adjusting from my postBARtum depression. (GET IT? I'm funny.)
In this moment, I can hardly explain how I was feeling, but I seriously struggling. I would look up from whatever I was doing, and say "Ughhh, I'm struggling", silently and to myself, of course. But today, after taking a sick day to take Mia to the doctor for a long-time cough, things seem... better. For no good reason, they just seem better.
All the things I was sad about before? They're still there. Whether I want to check job postings, find out whether I could work with a recruiter, whether I want to ask for a raise... all those things are still there, still problems. But I don't feel them physically weighing down on me the way I have in the past couple of weeks.
I'm adjusting - waiting, knowing that however difficult it can be, we're getting there. B and I go to bed every night giggling about something cute and funny Mia did that day. Last night, we were a bit more sentimental than usual and asked each other how we could have gotten so lucky with our little one. So sweet and so fiesty, so smart and so silly. Are all parents this obsessed with their children? He said probably. I said I hoped so.
PS - MPRE tomorrow! And then, finally, I will get to the books waiting for me on my Kindle.
The big girl bed adventures
The second your kid turns two, that magic number seems to trigger a series of milestones that everyone believes you should start achieving. Mia turned two a couple of months ago, but those two months were filled with stacks of bright orange BarBri books, streaming lectures, highlighters and flashcards (one flashcard was devoted to a list of said milestones awaiting bar completion). And this weekend, we started on one of the items: transitioning Mia into a regular bed.
Mia wakes up almost every morning, crying. If she wakes up at night for any reason, she's also crying. I read somewhere that though most parents take their kid falling from their crib when trying to climb out as the sign to switch to a bed, sometimes a toddler still waking up crying can be a sign that they are ready for some freedom. Hopefully, this was Mia's problem and we weren't going to be doomed to be woken up by a crying kid for the rest of our lives.
I had fully intended on moving her straight from her crib into a twin bed, but this month's budget is a bit tight, so that will have to wait. I didn't want to put off the transition though, so instead, we just turned her crib into a toddler bed by removing one of the side railings. Things went... about as you would expect.
The first night, she was thrilled at the novelty of being able to get in and out on her own. She gleefully climbed in, but about 10 minutes later, we had a little person peering at us in the living room from the top of the stairs. And then again 20 minutes later. And 20 minutes after that. So... that first night, B and I gave in to Mia's request to "sit der, on floor" until she fell asleep.The second night, bedtime went much more smoothly. She went down, and didn't get up. But, when we went to check on her, she was face down, on the carpet, with her head under the bed. Oops. That day, we decided to give it one more night, and if she was still falling off, we'd wait until we could get a twin bed and a bed rail.
Of course, in true toddler fashion, she spent all night in her bed, and woke up fresh on her own, and B found her quietly reading a book when he came to check on her after his shower. This is exactly what I was hoping for!
Well, Nevada Bar Exam July 2013 is official over! Well, not quite because it turns out that, adding insult to injury, I also have to re-take the MPRE next Saturday. But still, relatively speaking, I am over the biggest hurdle.
The whole ordeal of studying, and then sitting for the bar, was physically, mentally, and personally grueling, but in the end I got through it. In reflecting on the exam itself, I find myself completely perplexed at how to deal with the low pass rate. If 40% of the people taking this exam will not be making it through, and if 60% of the people taking this exam performed better than I did, I absolutely cannot see myself doing ANY better the second time around.
Now, do not take that in the "Well, I could NOT have done any better" sense saying that I was excellent and nobody could have done better, but instead, I just cannot see myself doing the whole thing again and having the result come out differently. While I'm not saying that I wouldn't retake it, I am just not sure I would pass the second time if I did have to retake it.
I've found that coming back to "normal life" post bar exam has been a bit more difficult than I anticipated. I feel like complete mush, of course, but more than that, there's a sense of dissatisfaction. You spend the months leading up to the bar building anticipation to cross this hurdle, and then once you cross it, you go back to your normal life to wait. But wait for what, exactly? The results, yes, but if I do pass, I'm not entirely sure I am going to be launching into a full-out job search.
First, while I was away, my Company started doing well again. No late paychecks, no more unpaid time off. I am officially back to 5 days a week, every week. Second, while I'm still somewhat dissatisfied in the lack of lawyering in my day to day, B has (frequently) pointed out that the grass is not always greener.
Besides that, I am back and trying to figure out what I want to do in terms of this blog, my Etsy shop, and... all the other things ever.

Media clips on a hard drive or other storage are automatically organized in collections and metadata automatically assigned to facilitate subsequent searching for media clips. A Clip Organizer software application initially scans a user's hard drive to identify folders containing user files of sound, picture, clip art, video and other media clips. Predefined types of folders are omitted in the scan to avoid identifying media clips that do not belong to the user or are part of another application program. A partially �flattened� collection hierarchy is created to simplify browsing the media clips. Sufficient empty files are included to enable a user to readily locate the collections, and metadata comprising keywords derived from the path of each media clip are associated with each of the media clips to facilitate subsequent searching for the files. In addition, the collection hierarchy is automatically updated as changes are made. Images(11) Claims(58)
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0027] Exemplary Operating Environment [0028]FIG. 1 and the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable host computing device with which the present invention may be used. Although not required, the present invention will typically be used with a host computing device that executes computer instructions, such as program modules. These computer instructions are executed by a processor in the host computing device, which may be part of a larger computing network. [0029] Generally, program modules implemented on the host computing device (some of which will be used in connection with the present invention) include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that this invention may be practiced with other types of host computing devices, including hand-held devices, pocket personal computing devices, programmable consumer electronic devices, multiprocessor systems, network personal computers (PCs), laptop computers, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. The invention may also be practiced with computing devices in distributed computing environments that include remote processing devices linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices. [0030] With reference to FIG. 1, an exemplary computing system for use in implementing the present invention includes a general purpose computing device in the form of a conventional PC 20, provided with a processing unit 21, a system memory 22, and a system bus 23. The system bus couples various system components, including the system memory, to processing unit 21 and may be any of several types of bus structures, including a memory bus or memory controller, a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of bus architectures. The system memory includes read only memory (ROM) 24 and random access memory (RAM) 25. A basic input/output system (BIOS) 26, containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within PC 20, such as during start up, is stored in ROM 24. PC 20 further includes a hard disk drive 27 for reading from and writing to a hard disk, not shown, a magnetic disk drive 28 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 29, and an optical disk drive 30 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 31, such as a CD-ROM or other optical media. Hard disk drive 27, magnetic disk drive 28, and optical disk drive 30 are connected to system bus 23 by a hard disk drive interface 32, a magnetic disk drive interface 33, and an optical disk drive interface 34, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer-readable machine instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for PC 20. Although the exemplary environment described herein employs a hard disk, removable magnetic disk 29, and removable optical disk 31, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer-readable media, which can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, RAMs, ROMs, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment. A number of program modules may be stored on the hard disk, magnetic disk 29, optical disk 31, ROM 24, or RAM 25, including an operating system 35, one or more application programs 36, other program modules 37, and program data 38. [0031] A user may enter commands and information into PC 20 through input devices such as a keyboard 40, and through a separate pointing device 42. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to processing unit 21 through an input/output (I/O) interface 46 that is coupled to the system bus. The term I/O interface is intended to encompass each interface correspondingly used for a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, an infrared port, a radio frequency port, and/or a universal serial bus (USB) port (not separately shown). [0032] A monitor 47 or other type of display device is also connected to system bus 23 via an appropriate interface, such as a video adapter 48, and is usable to display Web pages and/or other information. In addition to the monitor, PCs are often coupled to other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers (through a sound card or other audio interface�not shown) and printers. [0033] PC 20 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 49. Remote computer 49 may be another PC, a server (which is typically configured much like PC 20), a router, a network PC, a peer device, a satellite or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above in connection with PC 20, although only an external memory storage device 50 has been illustrated in FIG. 1. The logical connections depicted in FIG. 1 include a local area network (LAN) 51 and a wide area network (WAN) 52. Such networking environments are common in offices, enterprise-wide computer networks, intranets, and the Internet. [0034] When used in a LAN networking environment, PC 20 is connected to LAN 51 through a network interface or adapter 53. When used in a WAN networking environment, PC 20 typically includes a modem 54 or other means for establishing communications over WAN 52, such as the Internet. Modem 54, which may be internal or external, is connected to system bus 23, or coupled to the bus via I/O device interface 46, i.e., through a serial port. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to PC 20, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers may be used, such as wireless communication and wide band network links. [0035] Current Preferred Application of Invention [0036] It should be noted that the present invention is not specifically limited to organizing and indexing media files, since the same technique can readily be applied to almost any type of file. However, in an initial application, the present invention will be applied to organizing media files, since as noted above in the Background of the Invention, the problems associated with manually managing and organizing media files become increasingly more burdensome as the number of media files stored in different folders on a user's hard drive or other storage continues to grow. Since it will be used for organizing media clips, an initial embodiment of the present invention is thus referred to as a �Clip Organizer.� [0037] The present invention addresses problems associated with manually indexing files comprising personal content of a user on a hard disk or other storage by automatically locating the personal content and importing it into a user's personal media database so that the personal content can readily be displayed in a collection hierarchy. As the present invention imports the content into database created by the Clip Organizer, it simultaneously indexes the contents by adding keywords or metadata based upon contextual information that enables a user to find the personal content at a later time using a keyword search. The task of importing hundreds or thousands of clips located in possibly hundreds of folders that may be distributed throughout one or more hard drives and applying useful keywords to them can take many painstaking hours of manual effort. In contrast, the present invention accomplishes this task automatically in a time ranging from within a few seconds to a few minutes, depending upon the volume of personal content in the user's storage. This task is carried out without requiring any mandatory user interaction to facilitate the process. In addition, once the present invention has run to completion, it establishes rules that automatically facilitate importing new media into the collection hierarchy as the new media are added to the user's hard drive(s), even if initially added to the storage without using the present invention and its automated organizing capabilities. Generally, the present invention makes the manual importing and manual indexing of a hard drive user content obsolete, if it is employed at its maximum effectiveness. [0038] Logical Steps Implemented to Scan Hard Drive [0039]FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart 100 that indicates the logical steps generally implemented in the present invention to automatically organize and manage media clips. Media clips will typically include digital photos, audio files, video files, and clip art generated or collected by a user in a storage such as a hard drive. As shown in flow chart 100, the process for organizing media clips with the Clip Organizer begins in a step 102, with a scan of the user's hard drive. (It should be noted that although the singular form �hard drive� is used throughout the following discussion, it is recognized that users of the present invention may have one or more hard drives and/or a user's hard drive(s) may be divided into multiple volumes. Accordingly, it is intended that unless otherwise evident from the context, the term �hard drive� refer generally to any type of storage on which user media files or other user content files are stored and also encompass the plural form �hard drives.�) [0040] Details of the steps involved in scanning a user's hard drive are shown in FIG. 3. A key aspect of the hard drive scan is the intelligence applied in identifying folders that contain supported media file types and more importantly, in determining that certain predefined types of folders should not be searched for media files. The scanning component of the Clip Organizer program begins in a block 120 in which the program determines a first search folder on the storage currently being scanned, typically starting with the first folder at the root level of the hard drive being scanned. A decision block 122 determines if the folder being searched is a temporary folder. The purpose of this determination is to avoid scanning temporary folders since temporary media files that are frequently stored in a temporary folder will likely be deleted at some point without user permission. Temporary folders include those identified by the name �TEMP,� and those that the WINDOWS� operating system identifies as temporary folders, which have special significance in the WINDOWS� operating system for storing temporary files. Other types of temporary folders include those designated by the operating system for Internet cache storage. Since a folder identified as a temporary folder is likely to include only temporary media files that will not be retained, such folders are preferably avoided when scanning the hard drive for user content. A negative response leads to a decision block 128, while an affirmative response to decision block 122 leads to a decision block 124, which determines if there are any further folders to be searched. If so, the logic continues with a block 126, which advances to the next folder on the hard drive. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 142, which is discussed below. From block 126, the logic loops back through decision block 122. [0041] Assuming that the current folder is not a temporary folder, the logic proceeds from decision block 122 to decision block 128, which determines if the current folder is an application folder. If so, the logic again loops back through decision block 124, since application folders are omitted from the scan to identify media content. The reason for this omission is that if the scan imported every media file from subfolders under the �Program Files� folder, it would likely import media files provided by third parties as part of application programs. By default, application folders for application programs that are installed on a PC are frequently created under the Program Files root folder. Any third party providing such an application program would likely prefer that the present invention not include such media files that are part of that third party's program and are not part of a user content collection. Accordingly, the hard drive scan avoids the entire Program Files folder subtree, as well as the �System� and �System 32� folder subtrees of the WINDOWS� operating system, which are also likely to contain third party media files. It is certainly possible for third party applications to be installed in a folder subtree other than under these three predefined folders. In fact, a user can manually override the default rules regarding predefined folders that should be omitted from the scan and customize settings of the present invention so that the �Program Files� folders or other folders omitted by default from the scan are instead included in the hard disk scan. However, the present invention at least attempts to minimize the chance of including media files that are not part of the user's content, although it may not entirely eliminate this risk. Clearly, the goal is to import only content, which is of primary interest to the users, which is their own media files, rather than the media files associated with application programs or other media files that are inappropriate. [0042] If the current folder being scanned is not an application program folder, the logic proceeds to a decision block 130, which determines if the current folder includes a filter. Folders of this type are capable of showing a user only certain files included therein. One common folder that includes a filter is the �Recycle Bin� folder, which typically contains a hidden file called �desktop.ini� that contains a class identification (CLSID) profile string for a computer object model (COM) object. If the �desktop.ini� file is found in a folder and it contains a CLSID or CLSID2 profile string, the disk scan component of the present invention avoids that folder and all of its subfolders, if any. [0043] If the folder has a filter,. the logic loops back to decision block 124, but otherwise proceeds to a decision block 132, which determines if the current folder being scanned is hidden. If so, logic loops back to decision block 124 to avoid scanning a folder that a user or administrator has designated as hidden, since such folders are very unlikely to include media clips produced by the user that should be a part of the collection of user content. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 134. In this decision block, the logic determines if the current folder is a profile folder for other than the current user, and if so, again loops back to decision block 124. The basis for this determination is that on a multi-user system, it is likely that different users will have personal media located in or under their own profile folders. Accordingly, it would be a breach of privacy for the present invention to scan any folders in a profile that does not belong to the user who is currently logged on to the computer. The scanning component of the Clip Organizer therefore avoids scanning any profile folder that does not belong to the current user or any subfolders of profile folders for a different user than the current user. The only exception to this rule is that the scan will search the �All Users� profile folder and subfolders thereof, since this profile folder is not considered private and is available to all users of the computer. If the response to this determination is negative, a block 136 provides for including the current folder in a folder list or folders that may include media that should be part of the collection of user content being developed. [0044] Next, the current folder is evaluated in a decision block 138 to determine if the folder contains media files of the user. If not, the logic proceeds back to decision block 124 to select another folder for scanning. However, if the folder does contain media files, the logic proceeds to a block 140 in which the current folder is marked as a media-containing folder. [0045] Once all of the folders have been evaluated in the scan of the hard drive, decision block 124 transfers the logic to a decision block 142, which determines if there are any more hard drives to search. If not, the scanning component logic of the Clip Organizer software terminates. However, if the response to decision block 142 is affirmative, a block 144 provides for advancing the search to the next fixed hard drive or volume of the storage. The logic then repeats the scanning steps discussed above, starting with block 120. [0046] Sibling Rule [0047] Referring back to FIG. 2, following the scan of all of the hard drives on which the user's media might be located, a block 104 applies a sibling rule as a basis for determining which folders without user content should be included in a collection hierarchy to insure that the hierarchy remains understandable in regard to locating collections but is relatively �flat.� The sibling rule is a key to striking the correct balance between producing a derived collection hierarchy that is as flat as possible, while insuring that the hierarchy makes sense to a user. Specifically, instead of including only folders with media as part of the collection, the sibling rule provides a basis for creating a collection having folders that do not include user media files. Such �empty� folders are included if and only if they meet certain criteria. Details of the logical steps implemented in applying the sibling rule are illustrated in FIG. 4. [0048]FIG. 4 begins with a decision block 150 that determines if there are any more folders in the folder list to be evaluated in accord with the sibling rule. If so, a block 152 obtains the next folder in the list that was created during the scan of folders on the user's hard drive. A decision block 154 then determines if the current folder thus obtained has already been marked as a media folder (i.e., a folder that includes one or more user media files). If so, the logic loops back to decision block 150. Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 156. In this decision block, a determination is made as to whether the current folder has a subfolder that contains media files. If not, the logic loops back to decision block 150, but otherwise proceeds to a decision block 158. In decision block 158, the logic determines if a sibling folder of the current folder or a subfolder of a sibling folder contains one or more user media files. (A sibling folder is one that is at the same subfolder level below a parent folder as the present folder.) If not, the logic again loops back to decision block 150, but otherwise proceeds to a block 160, in which the current folder is marked as a media folder, i.e., as a folder that will be included in the collection hierarchy. Thereafter, the logic also loops back to decision block 150. [0049] From the preceding explanation, it will be apparent that any folder that does not include media will only be included in the collection hierarchy if and only if any user media files are included in at least one subfolder of that folder and a sibling folder includes any user media files or has subfolders with user media files. The sibling rule provides sufficient empty folders in the collection hierarchy to enable a user to determine the path to media-containing folders and to differentiate between different path branches in the collection hierarchy. By minimizing the number of �empty� folders that must be included to provide complete path information for folders that contain media files of interest, unnecessary clutter is avoided in the collection hierarchy. However, a user can still determine where to find media in folders, since the included empty folders provide a logical hierarchy in which the path and branching between media folders is clearly delineated. In general, root folders, and therefore root collections derived from those root folders, are more recognizable by users than leaf folders. The sibling rule takes this principle into consideration and puts it to good use. If the sibling rule were not applied, and the collection hierarchy only included folders with media, the hierarchy would become so flat as to cause confusion, and users would in some instances be unable to determine where their media files are located within the hierarchy. The sibling rule restores a balance of efficiency based on �flatness,� and maintains sufficient hierarchy differentiation to enable a user to understand where media files are located. [0050] Creating the Collection [0051] Again referring back to FIG. 2, the next step in the process implemented by the present invention is to create a collection, as noted in a block 106. This step simply involves the process of creating �folder-like� constructs with the Clip Organizer software application comprising the present invention, to provide a hierarchical relationship between the media collections. The folder-like constructs that are thus created contain only user media (i.e., do not include unsupported file types in them), so that the media files can be found by a user. An important aspect of this step is that when collections are created by the present invention, they are created in a user's media database. With each collection in the database is associated a full path that indicates the location on the hard drive of the collection. Provision of this full path is important, because it sets up an import and indexing component and a browse import component of the present invention, as explained below. In addition, each collection receives an �auto-import state� property. The auto-import state property can have one of three different settings that are user selectable, for updating the collection. These settings include a decision by the user to either: (1) add new or changed files and subfolders to the collection; or (2) add new or changed files only to the collection; or (3) don't add either files or folders to the collection. [0052] By default, the present invention sets the first option to �add new or changed files and subfolders to the collection� and therefore does not require user interaction when this property is initially set. However, if the user subsequently chooses, the option can be reset by the user to a different one of the three options. The auto-import option setting is particularly relevant to the browse import component of the present invention, as explained below. Another important aspect of collection creation is that each storage construct in the media management system has properties that help it to automatically import and index the media files that it contains and make it aware of the file system that it represents. [0053] Importing and Indexing Component [0054] After creating the collections in block 106, a block 108 provides for carrying out the import and indexing component of the present invention. Details of the steps implemented in importing and indexing are shown in FIG. 5, beginning with a decision block 170. This decision block determines if there are any more collections to be processed. If not, the import and indexing function is completed and this portion of the program terminates. However, if any collection remains to be processed, the logic advances to the first (or next) collection to be processed in a block 172. This step is followed by a block 174 in which the logic obtains a mapped folder, which is a folder associated with the collection currently being processed. A decision block 176 then determines if the folder that was just obtained has any new media to import into the collection. During the initial creation of the collection hierarchy, each folder that includes media files of the user will be treated as if the media is new and must be imported. If not, the logic loops back to decision block 170. [0055] Assuming that the folder being processed indeed includes new media files to import, the logic proceeds to a block 178 and imports the next media file included in the current folder. The file suffix is added as a keyword in the metadata for the file in a block 180. (The suffix is the media file extension, such as �wav� for audio files in the wave format, or �jpg� for digital photographs in the Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) format.) In addition, recalling that each file of a particular media type that is included within a collection will have its full folder path associated with it, a block 182 provides for adding folder names in that path as keywords in the metadata associated with the file. [0056] It is generally assumed that users will typically store media files within a folder structure based upon the content or subject matter of the media files. For example, a user might store a digital photograph file �beach1.jpg� that was taken with an OLYMPUS� digital camera on the beach during a vacation to Hawaii in 1999 in a folder having a path such as �C:\My Documents\My Photos\Digital Camera\Olympus\Vacations\Hawaii\1999\Beach1.jpg.� This path would be parsed by the Clip Organizer software to identify keywords for inclusion in the metadata for the file. These keywords would include: �My Documents,� �My Photos,� �Digital Camera,� �Olympus,� �Vacations,� �Hawaii,� and �1999.� For this scheme to operate effectively, users will need to initially store their media files of interest in a folder structure configured so that the path of the media file includes keywords that can be used for locating the media files based on their subject matter, type, topic, and/or other keywords entered by a user in a search dialog that are likely to be part of the metadata associated with the user content in the user collections database. [0057] A block 184 adds additional metadata to the database by including the filename as a caption for the file. In addition, the localized media type, such as �photograph,� �clip art,� �sound,� or �motion� is also included within the metadata for the file stored in the database. A decision block 188 then determines if any further new media files are available to import in the current folder, and if so, the logic returns to block 178 to process the next new media file in the current collection. If not, the logic returns to decision block 170 to determine if any further collections remain to be processed, and if so, processes them in a similar manner. If not, the import and indexing component of the Clip Organizer software is completed and terminates. [0058] It will be evident from the above example in which a path for a particular digital photograph file capturing a beach scene was parsed to determine keywords for inclusion in the metadata for the file, beachl jpg, a user could subsequently locate that file as well as other media files in the database that relate to the vacation in Hawaii by searching the collection hierarchy stored in the collections database, based on the keyword �Hawaii.� The user could also specifically identify digital photographs relating to beach scenes by searching for metadata that include the word �beach� within the metadata associated with each of the files included within the collection hierarchy stored in the user's content database. [0059] Clearly, folders and files stored on a hard drive are not static. It is understood that new folders will be created and new content media files will added to the storage without using the present invention. As a result, a different mechanism is provided for including the new content added in this manner so that the new content is incorporated with the user media collections produced by the present invention. Each media collection organized by the present invention has within it a folder path associated with each of its media files. Accordingly, the folder paths for a collection can be automatically examined on the hard drive at the specific locations to determine if a change has been made in the folder path indicating the location where the media files of the collection are stored. Any changes that are detected are used to automatically modify the folder path so that it indicates the new location. [0060] Browse Import Function [0061] When a user browses a collection hierarchy in Clip Organizer, the user may select a collection that is assigned to a specific hard drive location. Accordingly, several events are triggered as a result of the user browsing the collection that depend upon the setting of the auto-import state property selected for that collection. The steps associated with the browsing of a collection are referred to as a browse import function in a block 110 in FIG. 2. [0062] Details of the logical steps implemented in the browse import function are provided in FIG. 6, beginning with a decision block 200. This decision block determines if the auto-import state for the current collection being browsed has been set ON, which means simply that the collection properties have been set to enable the logic to look for new media files, or new media folders, or both. If not, the user has selectively determined that the program should not look for new files or new folders to be added to the current collection, and the logic terminates for this aspect of the process. As noted above, however, the default setting for the auto-import property is to add new or changed files and subfolders to update a collection. Thus, in most cases, the auto-import state for a collection will be set to the ON condition, leading to a decision block 202. Decision block 202 determines if there are any folders associated with the current collection, and if not, the logic terminates, since there is no requirement for any processing of this collection (i.e., because it does not have any folders to examine for new files or subfolders). Otherwise, the logic proceeds to a decision block 204 to determine if the auto-import state for the current collection being browsed by the user has been set to create new subcollections. Again, the default would be to create new subcollections. Alternatively, a user may have decided to only add new or changed files to the current collection, but not new subcollections. Assuming that the auto-import state provides for creating new subcollections, a block 205 provides for obtaining the first mapped folder for the current collection. A negative response to decision block 204 leads to a decision block 208, which determines if the auto-import state is set to import new media files (i.e., the default condition). If not, the logic terminates. However, if the auto-import setting property indicates that new media files are to be imported into the current collection automatically, the logic proceeds to a block 209 that provides for obtaining the first mapped folder. [0063] A decision block 212 then determines if this folder has new media files associated with it and if not, proceeds to a decision block 216, which determines if there are any more mapped folders (folders associated with the collection). If so, the logic advances to a block 210, in which the next mapped folder is obtained. Thereafter, the logic again returns to decision block 212. Assuming that the current folder has new media files in decision block 212, a block 214 automatically imports and indexes all new files of the media type included within the collections maintained by the present invention. The import and indexing step is carried out in accord with the logic discussed above in connection with FIG. 5. After all new media files associated with the current folder have been imported and indexed, the logic continues with decision block 216. If there are no more mapped folders associated with the present collection in decision block 216, the logic terminates. [0064] Referring again to block 205, after obtaining the mapped folder, the logic proceeds to a block 218 in which a determination is made as to whether the current folder has a subfolder in which media files are included. If so, the next step in a block 220 is to create a new subcollection corresponding to the subfolder and the media files included therein. A negative response to decision block 218 leads to a decision block 222. After block 220, a decision block 221 determines if there are any more subfolders with media files and if so, the logic returns to block 220 to create a new subcollection. A negative response in decision block 221 leads to decision block 222. Decision block 222 determines if there are any more mapped folders and if not, the logic advances to decision block 208. If additional mapped folders exist, the logic proceeds with a block 206 to obtain the next mapped folder in the collection and repeats the steps noted above. [0065] It will be apparent that the auto-importing of files and subcollections in accord with the steps illustrated in FIG. 6 are implemented each time that a user browses a given collection. It should also be noted that the browse initiated auto-import process only applies to subfolders containing new media files found one level down from a currently included mapped folder. Any new media files that reside more than one level down from the existing collection hierarchy folder will not be automatically imported into the collection hierarchy in response to a user browsing. Application of the limitation of one level down subfolder searching is an intended design feature of this preferred embodiment of the present invention. Even though the subfolder search occurs on its own thread, all new entries written to the database for the collection must be written on the primary thread according to this preferred embodiment. It is important that the search be quick and ideally not find too many new collections to create, to avoid having the primary thread slow down to the point at which a user will notice a performance hit in processing speed. By limiting the search to a single subfolder depth, this step can be time efficient so that the user does not notice any significant processing slow down and yet still benefits by having new media folders found and imported into the database as a result of the user simply browsing existing collections. This technique enables users to �instantly� see new collections appear with descriptive names when the steps in block 214 are implemented. When a user selects the newly added collection to investigate, any files found in the hard drive subfolder (one level down) associated with that new collection are also then automatically imported and indexed. Thus, as the user continues to browse to newly added subcollections, additional subfolders are added in accord with the logic discussed above. [0066] It is also important to note that this process has been designed to account for the fact that the folders and media files stored on a hard drive will typically evolve slowly and not radically change in a very short time frame. If users elect to create subfolders on their hard drive and organize files with more granularity, they will typically create subfolders only one level down from existing ones and arrange their files among the new subfolders thus created. Accordingly, the one subfolder down approach discussed above is particularly appropriate. When a user next uses the Clip Organizer to browse a collection associated with an original folder, the new subfolders will be detected and added as a new subcollection of the existing collection. In addition, any files in the subfolders will be imported and indexed automatically for a user. Furthermore, since the newly created collection found by auto-importing folders one level down has a full path associated with it, along with its auto-import state setting that will allow it to find new media subfolders, the user can continually have new subfolders created and new media imported and indexed by repeatedly browsing on each successive newly added collection as it is created. Should a hard drive ever become too radically different for the present invention to adapt to in this manner, the user can always rerun the full scanning algorithm discussed above in connection with FIG. 2 to obtain an updated collection hierarchy that reflects all of the changes made to the storage since the last time the user ran the full scanning algorithm. [0067] As noted above, the user has an option to customize the settings regarding importing of new or changed files and subfolders. Furthermore, these settings can be separately selectively set for each collection and can be optionally set so that the auto-import feature is turned off for both new files and new folders. In this manner, this embodiment of the present invention makes it possible for a user to customize the properties for each collection, if they so choose. [0068] Exemplary User Interface Dialogs [0069] A dialog box 230 included in a preferred embodiment of the present invention enables a user to selectively control adding media files or clips to the collection hierarchy. This dialog box has a title line 232 that reads �Add Clips To Organizer.� If the user elects to carry out a default scan of the hard drive, it is only necessary to click on an OK button 236. Also provided is a Cancel button 238. Alternatively, the user can specify the hard disks and/or folders that should be scanned for media clips by selecting an Options control 240 (see FIG. 9, which is described below). [0070]FIG. 8 illustrates a dialog box 250 that is displayed as the user's hard drive or storage is scanned by a preferred embodiment of the present invention. This dialog box includes a title line 252 that reads �Clip Organizer.� A progress bar 254 includes a plurality of segments 256 that increase in number to lengthen the progress bar as the scanning of the hard drive and importing of the collections continues. Also provided is a Cancel button 258 that is selectable by a user to interrupt the process. [0071]FIG. 9 illustrates a dialog 260 presented in response to a user selecting Options control 240 in dialog box 230 (FIG. 7). Exemplary dialog 260 includes a title line 262 that reads �Auto Import Settings.� A folder tree window 264 illustrate the various folders and subfolders on the user's hard drive. Boxes with checks 266 are associated with the folders that were found during the scan to have media files. If a user clears the check mark in a box associated with a specific folder, the present invention will not create a collection for the folder in Clip Organizer, and none of its media files will be imported for the user. A vertical scroll bar and a horizontal scroll bar 272 are included to access folders not currently visible in the dialog folder tree. In addition, a catalog control 274 is selectable by the user to initiate the application of the sibling rule for the folders associated with all remaining checked boxes, creation of collections for those folders, and importation of the media files for the folders. Alternatively, a user can select a Cancel button 276 to close the window. [0072] Once a user's hard drive has been scanned and a plurality of collections have been created that include the user's media clips, the user is presented with a collection hierarchy view as shown in exemplary main graphic user interface (GUI) window 280 in FIG. 10. At the top of GUI window 280 are disposed a menu 284 and a toolbar 286. A collections list pane 288 displays a collection hierarchy view. It must be emphasized that the collection hierarchy is generally not identical to the folder tree view (i.e., the WINDOWS� Explorer view) of the hard drive storage from which the collection hierarchy is derived. The differences between the collection hierarchy view and the folder tree view result because of the flattening of the folder tree that occurs in the collection hierarchy to include only those folders in which media clips are included (and normally excluding the five predefined types of folders that are typically not scanned for media clips), in addition to the empty folders that do not have any media clips, but which are included within the collection hierarchy to differentiate between branches in accord with the sibling rule. Main GUI window 280 includes a title bar 282 that reads �The Innocents�Clip Organizer.� The title bar includes the phrase �The Innocents,� because a folder 294 with that name has been selected and is open in the collection hierarchy. Media files 302 included within folder 294 are displayed in a file list pane 300 in main GUI window 280. Other folders 290 are included in collections list pane 288, only some of which include media files. Each folder that includes media files corresponds to a different collection. In this particular example, a number of empty folders are included as subfolders under an empty folder 292 entitled �My Music.� Vertical and horizontal scroll bars 296 and 298 provide access to additional folders that are not currently visible in collections list pane 288. [0073] In media file list pane 300, the names of each media file in the current selected collection are listed, along with a caption 304 and keywords 306. It should be noted that the keywords are derived from the path of folder 294 and include �The Innocents,� �Erasure,� �My Music,� �Documents,� �All Users.Winnt,� and �Documents And Settings.� The keyword �Sounds� (only partially shown due to space limitations) identifies the type of media clip stored in folder 294, all of which are Windows Media Audio (*.wma) files and thus properly in the category �Sounds.� Keywords 306 comprise the metadata that can readily be searched by a user to locate specific media files based upon the content, subject matter, and/or category automatically associated with the files. It should be noted that keywords 306 are not derived from the collection hierarchy, but instead are derived from the full path to folder 294. This point is evident, since the collection hierarchy does not include the folder �Documents and Settings,� but the full path for the folder does. Optionally, a user can type a question in a text entry box 308 to obtain help on a specific topic. [0074] In FIG. 11, an exemplary dialog 320 illustrates properties for The Innocents collection shown in FIG. 10. A title bar 322 reads �The Innocents Collection Properties.� A text box 324 includes the name of the collection, �The Innocents,� while a path box 326 includes folders associated with the collection by listing a path 328 for it. Optionally, a user can click on an Add button 330 to associate additional folders with the collection, or can select a Delete button 332 to delete folders previously associated with the collection. The lower part of properties box 320 includes the three possible settings for the auto-update option. In this example, the default has been selected as indicated by a radio button 334 that is selected to provide for adding new or changed files and subfolders to the current collection. Alternatively, a user can select radio button 336, which provides for adding new or changed files only, or radio button 338, which provides for not adding files or subfolders to this collection. Once the options have been selected, a user can select an OK button 340, or may select a Cancel button 342 if the user decides not to modify the properties for the collection. [0075] Referring now to FIG. 12, a dialog 350 is opened to enable a user to search and locate a particular user media file or type of media file in the user's collections. Search dialog 350 has a title bar 352 that reads �Search.� If the user wants to search for keywords in the metadata associated with the media files, the user will enter the likely keywords in a text block 354. In this example, the user has entered the text �Vacation,� indicating that any media file having that text string in its path and thus automatically included in the metadata for the file as a result of the automatic indexing of the media files will be located by the search. A Search control button 356 is selected once the desired keywords have been entered, or the user can restart the text entry process by selecting a Restore control button 358. A drop down list box 360 includes options that enable a user to choose to search all collections, or to pick one or more specific collections to search. Also, a drop down list box 362 is provided that enables a user to search all media files, or limit the search for a specific one or more types of media files. When the Search control is selected, a list of all media files meeting the desired criteria will be displayed to the user. [0076] Although the present invention has been described in connection with the preferred form of practicing it and modifications thereto, those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that many additional modifications can be made to the invention within the scope of the claims that follow. Accordingly, it is not intended that the scope of the invention in any way be limited by the above description, but instead be determined entirely by reference to the claims that follow.
