Libraries
If you store a large number of  les in different  le folders or on several PCs or devices, you might  nd
it hard to  nd the exact  le you’re looking for or manage all your  les ef ciently. Libraries can help. At
their most fundamental level, Libraries are a way
to view  les with common characteristics—even
if those  les are located in different places. The
purpose of Libraries is to make it easier to view,
organize, manage, and search for  les without
the hassle of organizing the  les into speci c
folders. Windows 7 automatically creates Librar-
ies for items such as documents, music, pictures,
and videos.
The great thing about Libraries is that they
make the actual location of your  les irrelevant.
Whether  les are located in different folders on
your PC, on a different drive, or even a different
PC in your home network that Windows Search
has indexed, Libraries help you consolidate all
those  les and their locations so you can browse
and search across them as if they were in one
location.
Windows 7 automatically
creates some Libraries.
Easier to Find Things
Windows 7 helps you search more ef ciently, regardless of whether what you’re looking for is on your PC,
on another PC running Windows 7, on your home network, or on the Web. The new Libraries feature and
Windows Search enhancements go hand-in-hand with improvements to the Aero Desktop and Windows
Explorer to make  nding what you want a breeze.
Libraries help you search
multiple  le locations.
