Vista Media Center questions

hey, i just started using vista media center and installed my movies, everything is working fine but i want to be able to arrange the icons on the main page, i'm using it mainly has a movie/picture/music center and i have no need for anything else...don't have a TV tuner.

I only want specific icons on the main page and order them the way I want, but I have no idea where to start to do that

Also, i've realized that vista media center and windows media player are inter-connected...atleast for the music section, the mp3s i add/remove from WMP also changes what i see in vista MC....but no so for the picture albums...it automatically adds all the folders/pictures found in the Pictures directory...even tho that directory is not listed in the watched list....i only want to show specific albums in vista mc, and the only way i've found is to set the folder attribute to "Hidden" for it not to show up....any other way to do this?

thanks
