Can I remove just Music from All My Files?

I like how Lion gathers everything in All My Files.

I often use it to download and post pictures without thinking where exactly they are saved (Desktop, Downloads, whatever).

However it really annoys me that Music is displayed above Pictures, and therefore I have to go through my entire music library just to get to the pics.

I'd love to completely remove Music from All My Files because it only messes up the organization and doesn't help at all. Is this possible?

Solution 1:

Given that the results of “All My Files” smart search respects Spotlight Preference Pane's search results, if you uncheck or drag music below pictures, that order is respected.

I infer this, because I have music disabled in Spotlight and I don't see music in my “All My Files”.

I see PDF, Images, Spreadsheets, Developer and Documents (in that order). Which more or less mirrors what I have in my Spotlight: (considering that the canned search doesn't look for contacts, apps, etc.)

You will need to log off and on again for changes to take effect.

_{NOTE: I don't use All My Files anyway, I have it removed from my finder Sidebar}

Solution 2:

All My Files is basically a Smart Folder with a custom icon, prepositioned in the Finder sidebar. So you can easily change or replicate its functionality to suit your purposes.

You can either make a new Smart Folder (⌥⌘N or File→New Smart Folder) and add it to your Finder sidebar, or right click on All My Files and choose Edit Search Criteria. While testing this, the editing seemed a bit buggy, so I'd suggest making a new Smart Folder instead.

Whichever way you choose, you want to edit the search parameters to match this screenshot:

To get the second and third lines, option-click on the "+", it will turn into "…" and give you the advanced options.

To get the sorting in a new folder to match that of All My Files, goto View→Arrange by→Kind (or of course set it however you prefer).
