    Windows 7 Share File Between Libraries

    Hi all, Is it possible to share a file or directory between 2+ libraries? There are at least three scenarios for which I can see this being highly useful -- 1) Flagging files/folders for backup, possibly in quite disparate places. I realise that you can do this from the Backup applet but...

    Windows 7 Libraries - Great idea in theory but Disaster in the making

    Hi all. The library concept is a great idea in theory -- and if you only have one non networked computer then this post does not apply. The idea is (finally for a Windows OS) of course to organise data by CONTENT rather than worry about the Physical location of it. A typical example these...

  10. Windows 7 Explorer's start folder

    Hi guys! Is there any way to adjust the Explorer's start folder? Right now it's the Libraries, but I'd rather have the Favorites. Maybe there's some sort of registry key for this? BTW: I'm starting the Explorer from the SuperBar or by pressing WIN+E.

That is to say, I'll make it to my windows fonts folder and the treeview will still be displaying my hard drives as if I had never gone anywhere. EDIT: Ok i...

I could change the location of My Music by selecting the Location tab under Properties, and define a new folder. In...

    Windows 7 Windows Explorer defaults to libraries

    Windows 7 is the first Microsoft OS that I have used where the standard [Windows key + E] shortcut doesn't open up the standard [My Computer] screen, with the drives listed. Instead, it defaults to the new libraries screen. Its not the end of the world, but it is an annoyance to have to click...
