Your just like me, I have a W890 with the same A200 platform media player and I want some pics to show in the file manager only and not the media player. We can already hide folders through J2ME with apps like the lovely MobyExplorer. But even when we hide the folder the jpg files can still be read from the media player (the media player periodically scans every folder in the phone).

EDIT -- BOSSHOGG's idea worked

All ya gotta do is simply move the image files or folder of images into the Ringtones folder which is inside the Music folder and that's it...

Anything in the ringtones folder is not be read by the media browser. Further more to prevent someone from viewing the images if they stumble upon the ringtones folder you can simply 'Hide' the file or folder with MobyExplorer

happy 4 now

Another bad thing for me now... within the Ringtone's folder I cannot set it to thumbnail view, there is no option so I am stuck with the images only as list view

that's another thing that could be overcome somehow
