How to use the Win7 library?

  
users who use window7 will notice that there is a very special feature in the system — — & ldquo; library & rdquo;, the library is the file management mode of the win7 system to learn from the Ubuntu operating system. The concept of the library is not a folder for storing user files in the traditional sense. It is actually a powerful file manager.



How to use Win7 library Win7 library function and its use method
The library advocates accessing files quickly by indexing and using search instead of traditional file path access. The created index does not copy the file to the library, but just creates a shortcut to the file. The original path of the file does not change, and the files in the library do not take up extra disk space. The files in the library are also automatically updated as the original files change. This greatly increases the efficiency of the work. When managing files scattered around every corner, we don't have to open their paths one by one. You just need to add it to the library.
First, the creation of the library
Open the resource manager, we will see the library in the navigation bar, you can either directly click the "New Library" in the upper left corner, or you can right click in the blank space on the right. In the menu that comes out, there is “New”. Give the library a name and create a new blank library. We didn't name it here, using the default name “New Library”.

In the pop-up properties window, click “Include folder”, find the folder you want to add, select it, click “Include folder” Repeat this operation to add a lot of files to the library.

Now, open & ldquo; & rdquo ;, the new library we will find the file in the folder you just added, Curry has been displayed, and you can see These files come from different locations.

























To use them later, the resource manager can be opened a bit. Second, the library classification filter
open the library, in the menu bar on the right to find "arrangement", the drop-down menu provides a modified date, mark, type, name four arrangements, help us classify the management file. Of course, if your library is large and complex, then the “Search” in the upper right corner will help you quickly locate the required files in the library.

Third, the sharing of the library
One of our own libraries, I want to share it with others. Open the library, right click on the library, and find “Share” in the menu. In the submenu, we have three choices: no sharing, sharing to the family group (you can give the family group read or even write permission), Share to specific users. Of course, this family group and users should first be in the LAN.

























We can enter “<quo;network” in the “Search Programs and Files” menu in the Start menu, and click on the “Network” link in the search results to access the LAN directly. Find the folder you want to add to the library, right-click and select "Always offline available", after the setup is complete, you can add it just like adding a local folder.
Editor's conclusion: The library can speed up file browsing and searching, simplify file sharing, and improve file management. Friends who have not tried, may wish to try.
