Windows 7 for You: Simplifies Everyday Tasks

Easier to Find Things

Easier to Find Things

Windows 7 helps you search more efficiently, 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 finding what you want a breeze.

Libraries

If you store a large number of files in different file folders or on several PCs or devices, you might find it hard to find the exact file you’re looking for or manage all your files efficiently. Libraries can help. At their most fundamental level, Libraries are a way

to view files with common characteristics—even if those files are located in different places. The purpose of Libraries is to make it easier to view, organize, manage, and search for files without the hassle of organizing the files into specific 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 files irrelevant. Whether files 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 files and their locations so you can browse and search across them as if they were in one location.
