They are not real folders.

Your Pictures folder is not a real folder; it is called a library which is a collection of folders.

You can choose which folders are included in the library by clicking "3 locations" under the title "Pictures library".  This will bring up a window with a list of folders included in the library.  You can add and remove folders from this list.  [EDIT: Removing a folder from this list does not actually delete the folder; it just removes it from the library.]

For more information about libraries, you can click on "Learn more about libraries" in the window with the list of folders or read this article (http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/ff_libraries.asp).
