Change The 'Libraries' Folder Icon?

Jul 27, 2012

I use LibraryIconChanger for my libraries (videos, documents, music, and so on), but I can't change the 'Libraries' folder with it. The libraries folder is the one you right click to add a new library, just to avoid any confusion (though I'm sure you got that). I can't use Folderico on it because for some reason it won't allow it.

Windows 7 Explorer (Libraries) Open On Every Computer Startup?

May 18, 2011

I have a HP Pavilion dv7 Entertainment Laptop. Lately, when I start up my computer, Windows Explorer (Libraries) open automatically. I can close it out with no problem but find it annoying to see it on EVERY startup. I don't know if something happened during a HP or Windows update or if possibly picked up some spyware or malware somewhere. I ran scans with Avast anti-virus, Spybot S&D, and Malwarebytes with nothing serious showing up...just cookies.Everything seems to run properly with no problems but this showing up on startups/reboots, opens on safe mode also. I checked to see if anything in startup folder...Nothing. I checked msconfig settings...can't find anything unusual.[CODE]

Windows Media Player 12 Updates The Libraries Every-time When Open It

Feb 18, 2012

My windows media player 12 updates the libraries every time I open it, its anoying. As I remember with previous versions my libraries would update the first time player would open, then I could add particular folders I needed and it would add them, and then it would add only the stuff that was missing. Basically with older versions when i opened the player all my files were already there, with wmp 12 every time i open it my libraries are EMPTY and i have to wait for it to upload all of my music, videos, pics etc which takes a couple of minutes. I tried messing with the options but no luck. Why does it renew libraries every time i open it and how can i fix this?

Using Libraries

Apr 1, 2010

In this tutorial, you'll learn about a powerful new feature of Windows 7, namely libraries. Libraries let you view files on your computer from a content centric rather than location centric perspective. When sifting through vast amounts of files, libraries can be very useful. You'll see what we mean when you watch the video.

All Libraries Are Missing

Jun 28, 2011

Something went wrong with my computer, and all of my Libraries (including MyDocuments, Pictures, etc.) are gone. I received several error messages (which I cannot recall) while doing a Virus Scan, and when I restarted my computer they were gone, and most of my program folders were empty.When I go to the Libraries tab, there is simply nothing there, and all of my files are missing.I did a system restore to a month ago, when everything was fine (and it brought back all of my programs), and they are still gone.I was able to access some of them via the Recent Documents in my Microsoft Word Starter, but not all of them.

Move 'Libraries' From C To D?

Jun 14, 2012

My hard drive is partitioned with my C: having 679 GB and my D: having 698 GB. I'd like for files (word, mp3, jpg etc.) to be in D: and to keep program files in C:. So how do I move the 'Libraries' directory from C: to D:? Can it be remapped or do I need to copy/paste everything over and make a new Library in D?

Where Do The Libraries Reside?

Dec 8, 2009

I have two idential laptop hard drives, C and E, and one ESATA backup, F. On Saturdays, I copy C to E, and on Sunday, I copy E to F.

That way I have three idential SATA hard drives and can boot to any of them.

[this is my own backup method]

I have just placed a file in C Libraries, then opened Explorer to E and then to F. All three drives show that new file in the Library at the top of the menu.

I would have thought the Libraries remain with the drive. No? Where do they reside?

Windows 7 Libraries Over SSH?

May 9, 2012

Running Windows 7 Home Premium. I set up an SSH server and I can SFTP to it. The SFTP client automatically connects to my user directory. I have my music on drive D: so I added that to the My Music library. However, when I SFTP to my machine, the My Music directory shows as empty. I can change to drive D: and get to the music, but it would be nice to just click the My Music directory to see my music.How can I show included libraries remotely with SSH on Windows 7?

Can't See All Libraries/folders Between Computers

Dec 2, 2009

I have 3 desktops with W7 and I successfully set up the homegroup with all three turned on and running. On each computer, I selected all the boxes to share all libraries. However, when I go to the Libraries window and look under Network, I see each computer, BUT, I am finding that only some of the libraries show up, not all. I shut down and restart the computers as I use them. Nothing changes on restarts.

Rename Libraries And Favorites?

Jul 12, 2012

I somehow managed to rename the libraries as well as the 'Favorites' about half a year ago.I don't recall how, but remember that it took a lot of trial and error. It worked perfectly and consistently in the start menu and the window manager. Now, with the latest update (13 important) it all got changed back, and keeps so despite my effort to regain my version.How can I rename those again, or what was the update that reset MS defaults and how to kill it?

Cannot Right-click Files In Libraries

Nov 2, 2010

I cannot right-click any file inside the Libraries folders or its subfolders. I can right-click the preview pane, the folders and the empty space inside the Libraries. But, I cannot right-click the files listed in it. I can also right-click files on desktop adn right-click the files in their actual location.

This is not my PC but my colleague's. So, I'm not very clear what happen before. According to her, she used to be able to right-click, but, later cannot. I've check another Windows 7 (same hardware, same OS) in the office and I can right-click the Libraries files.

Windows 7 Libraries / Documents

Dec 21, 2010

In Libraries/Documents for example, it points to 2 REAL Folders My Documents and Public Documents, but when you click on Libraries/Documents you see files for both places and if you click on any of the files, there is no path info to let you know "At a Glance" where the file is really located. Now looking through Windows 7 Inside Out Book, they have screen shots of files in the Libraries/Documents folder with the "Full Path" under the filename in what appears to be "Content View."

Windows 7 Libraries Not Showing Up

Sep 21, 2011

The Libraries folder exists, but there is nothing in there. No Documents, no music--nothing. Right clicking and choosing "restore default libraries" has no effect--not even an error message.I've seen this topic pop up in many different forums, and the recommended fix is always to right click and select "Restore Default Libraries." As mentioned, this has no effect on my machine.

Removing References To Libraries?

Nov 13, 2011

I was wondering if it was possible to remove the libraries drop down in Explorer, as it is just a waste of space for me. Network too infact. I only use Favorites and Computer. Also, I would like to change the buttons in the start menu(Documents,Pictures, Music, Videos) to point at the folders themselves, instead of the libraries, is this possible? If so, how would I do that?

File Types In Libraries?

Oct 20, 2012

Window 7 Libraries seem to work by including certain folders rather than file types despite the fact that the default library names are by type (eg Videos)On my hard disc I have a folder called My Pictures. Several of the folders in that Folder contain video clips. If I click on 'Pictures' in Libraries, it brings up those videos as well as the pictures. But when I select 'Videos' in Libraries it brings up a blank page.If I create for example a holiday folder (eg Rome 2012) containing photos, videos scanned maps and word documents, is there any way that I can click on a corresponding library category and only show that type of document in the Rome folder without having to do a sub search. If I want to view all items, I can go to the folder called Rome.

Windows 7 Libraries Are Slow

Jul 15, 2010

I like using Win 7 libraries, but these libraries are kind of slow. I don't know why but if I open a folder directly from the explorer, the files in that folder appears faster in the window than if I open the library including that folder. For example, if I open E:music, the files in the folder instantly appear in the window. But if I open Win 7 music library, the files in E:music doesn't appear in the window for about 10 seconds, as if it's looking for what files are in that folder, and then they appear. Is there a problem or is it the way the libraries are?

Add A Network Drive To 'Libraries?'

Feb 21, 2012

recently moved a 1 Tb drive off my main computer and set it up as USB external drive on my Linksys E4200 router.I would like to add a folder on this drive to my 'pictures' library in Win 7. Messages tell me I cannot because it is not indexed. Context menu on the drive/folder dose not give option to index nor does the Windows Search allow me to add the networked drive as a location to be searched.
Is there a workaround that can make the off-line drive searchable from my Win 7 machine?

Libraries Appears Empty But Files Are There?

Mar 22, 2010

In the Windows Explorer, if I click on "Libraries" nothing shows up - it appears empty. However, if I search for a file I know to be in Libraries, I can find it via the search window. If I look at its location in the search, it certainly looks like the file is in the right location... I can even right-click on the file and" go to the location". When I do so, the window opens and is still empty. The location is, for example, LibrariesDocumentsMy Documents.

If I navigate up one level to "Documents" by clicking on it in the address bar, this too is empty, even though clearly there was "My Documents" there just a second ago.

I think the problem happened when I tried to view hidden files in the Libraries folder.

[LIBRARIES] Relocate Library Folders From C:/?

Mar 14, 2011

I am setting up a new system and this is my first foray into the Win 7 world. So far, I really like it. My questions revolve around the location and size of Library folders. My root drive is an Intel SSD of 160 GB. My plan is to load program files only onto the C: drive and have all data and seldom used by useful programs on the 1 TB D: harddrive. My questions are, 1. Is there a way to change the default location of the Library folders to a drive other than C:? 2. Can the Library folders, or additional Library folders be located on the D drive? 3. If I have to leave the Library folders on the C: drive, I am concerned about the size. When I do a properties check on the folders listed under libraries, is the size given the size of the Library folder on C:, or the size of the folder actually holding the files?
