To save any files, you select “My Documents”, “C or D drive” or any other location like backup drive and server. When the time comes to open these files, you have to access files from its location and sometimes you forgot where you store it. Your all files are scattered in different locations and it is also a time consuming process to search for specific item from specific location. Is there any way that could reduce your time consuming process and get all files in easy way? Fortunately you are lucky because Windows 7 has resolved your problem.
Microsoft was aware of your problem and this is why they have developed “Libraries”: an easier way to finding your stuff from your Windows 7 computer.
What are libraries?
Libraries are collections of your contents that you store and these contents can be accessed easily by using the “Desktop Search” function. They actually do not change or replace your saved items but simply place all of them in individual collection. When you place any file in Windows 7 Libraries, they are indexed with the Search function present in it. This indexing helps you in fetching the files and folders very quickly and easily.
By default you will see four libraries in it namely: Documents, Music, Videos and Pictures. You can add your own library by clicking on “New library” tab located at window top. Give Library name and it will be created.
