Adding Local and Networked Locations to a Library
Microsoft Help:-
A library is a great new tool to sort through
your entire folders, pictures, even music, stored on multiple PC's. You might
have family photos that have been transferred to a laptop, and want to pull
others from another PC. With Libraries, you simply set up a main folder, and
can pull from various computers to show in that one Library folder. Libraries
are a great tool for pictures, music, and various documents and files. A new view of the file storage structure, called a library, gives you access to multiple
storage locations from one window. Locating files, programs, and utilities has never been
easier, and various tools and gadgets make it simple to do the things you want and need
to do with your computer. Certain programs that were formerly installed with Windows,
such as the e-mail management program known, in its various versions, as Windows Live
Mail, Windows Mail, or Outlook Express, have been removed from the operating system
to concentrate Windows 7 resources on managing your computer. These programs are now
available to all Windows users as part of the Windows Live family of programs.
A Windows library is a kind of a virtual folder; it doesn’t physically exist
on your hard disk, but instead points to the subfolders and files you place
within it. That is, the files contained within a given library are listed in
the library but physically remain in their original folders. The library contains
pointers to these files, rather than the files themselves. Think of it as
a collection of shortcuts to files stored elsewhere.
If you’ve opened Windows Explorer, you’ve already seen four libraries.
That’s because the Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos icons
in don’t represent specific folders, but rather libraries of files of
a given type, wherever they’re located on your hard disk. That’s right,
double-clicking doesn’t open the Documents folder itself (although that
folder does exist); it opens a virtual collection of documents.
Let’s work through this, using the four default libraries:
- Documents. This library contains documents of various types—Word
documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, you name
it.
- Music. This library contains all the digital music files on your system.
- Pictures. This library contains all the digital photos on your system.
- Videos. This library contains all the digital video files on your
system.
Creating a New Library
In addition to these four default libraries, you can create your own
libraries to virtually organize files from any folder on your hard disk. For
example, you could create a library for a business project that has Word
documents stored in one folder, Excel spreadsheets in another, and photos
in still another; the library is then used to organize shortcuts to all these
related files in one place.
To create a new library, follow these steps:
- From within Windows Explorer, select the Libraries item in the navigation pane.
- Click the New Library button on the Windows Explorer toolbar.
- When the new library icon appears, type a name for the new library
and press Enter.
- Double-click the icon for the new library.
- When the next screen appears,, click the
Include a Folder button.
- When the Include Folder dialog box appears, navigate to and click
the folder you want to include in the library; then click the Include
Folder button.
- This adds the first folder to your library and displays that folder in the
Explorer window, To add additional folders to
this library, click the 1 Location link near the top of the details pane.
- When the New Library Locations window appears, , click the Add button.
- When the Include Folder dialog box appears, navigate to and click
the folder you want to include in the library; then click the Include
Folder button.
- Repeat steps 7 to 9 to add even more folders to this library.
