Organizing Your Data Using Windows 7 Libraries

One of the useful features of Windows 7 is the inclusion of libraries, which are an organized way to sort all your data. The four default libraries that are included with your computer are Documents, Pictures, Music, and Video. Libraries appear to work like folders, and still you can create sub-folders within them. However, the difference here is that within a particular library, you can store information from your desktop, for instance, without it leaving the desktop. Now you only need to search in your library for a certain file. The same could be done with an external hard drive or flash drive. The “Include in Library” feature permits users to place all their data in one location, despite where else you have it stored.

Once created, the files in a library can then be arranged by day, month, tags, and more. This sorting ability makes it simpler to locate the data you are looking for. To read more about using libraries, visit the Home Office Blog and this blog post from MakeUseOf.
