Windows 7 Libraries
|
The following is a basic overview on the Windows7 Libraries |
|
1. | Windows7 Libraries are a way to help
organize and manage your files that are in a variety of locations on
your computer |
|
2. | Rather than taking the time to open the
Windows Explorer and looking through several folders to find
commonly used files, you can include them in personalized Libraries. |
|
3. | Windows7 comes with default Libraries of
Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos |
|
4. | When you start the Windows Explorer, you
will see Libraries along the left side |
|
5. | The default entries will show in both
panels |
 |
|
6. | You can add new items to the library
by right clicking on Libraries, New, Library |
 |
|
7. | In the following example, I created a
new Library entry called Work |
 |
|
8. | Click on Include a folder to
add folders to this library |
|
9. | In the following screenshot, I included
my common Work folder |
 |
|
10. | If you want to delete a folder from a
Library, right click on the icon in the right panel and select
Delete |
|
11. | This will not delete the contents of
the folder from the computer but only remove it from the Library |
 |
|
12. | Select to delete the folder and stop
sharing (if you don't need the folder shared) |
|
