Windows Media Streaming with multiple users

Myself and my wife both have accounts to log into our Windows 7 PC, although we both share the same audio / video / photos. I've turned on Media Sharing and can see and play files successfully on our media devices (PS3, Roku Soundbridge etc), but I've got two media servers visible - one for my wifes account, and one for my account.

Is there any way just to have a single media server for the machine as I can't seem to turn off media sharing for one of the accounts.

Hi FunkySi,

Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!

The two media servers that you see are specific to the User Profiles, I am afraid to say that you'll not be able to merge the media content of the two into one.

Hope this information is useful.
