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 |

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. |

Windows7 comes with default Libraries of Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos |

When you start the Windows Explorer, you will see Libraries along the left side |

The default entries will show in both panels |

If you want to delete a folder from a Library, right click on the icon in the right panel and select Delete |

This will not delete the contents of the folder from the computer but only remove it from the Library |

Select to delete the folder and stop sharing (if you don’t need the folder shared) |
