00:00:09.130 --> 00:00:15.100
Windows 7 provides a new approach for accessing
files with Libraries and Desktop Search.

00:00:15.100 --> 00:00:21.900
You can view your Libraries by clicking on
the Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar.

00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:29.200
These are your default Libraries: Documents,
Music, Pictures, and Videos.

00:00:29.200 --> 00:00:32.470
Libraries give you an easier way to "find
your stuff," so you don't have to spend lots

00:00:32.470 --> 00:00:35.480
of time navigating through various folders.

00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:39.080
They're also integrated with the Desktop Search
feature, which means you can search for files

00:00:39.080 --> 00:00:43.110
much more quickly when they're part of a Library.

00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:46.360
To use Libraries, you first have to add folders
to them.

00:00:46.360 --> 00:00:49.320
Let's add a folder to our Pictures Library.

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.870
Right-click a folder, go to "Include in library,"
and then click "Pictures."

00:00:54.870 --> 00:00:59.680
Now the folder hasn't moved; it's still on
the desktop.

00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:03.550
But it now also appears in the pictures library.

00:01:03.550 --> 00:01:07.720
When you add a folder to a library, its contents
are indexed so that Desktop Search can work

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:08.920
much more quickly.

00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:13.829
If you start typing in the search box in the
upper right, it will immediately start locating

00:01:13.829 --> 00:01:17.820
matching items, even before you finish typing.

00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:22.659
To be even more organized, you can add tags
and other details to the files in your Library,

00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:26.359
making the Search much more powerful.

00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.060
The details that you can add will vary depending
on the file type.

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:33.350
Let's add a tag to an image.

00:01:33.350 --> 00:01:39.340
Click on an image, and then where it says
"Add a tag," add a keyword of your choice.

00:01:39.340 --> 00:01:41.840
We'll type "yellow."

00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.510
Then click "Save."

00:01:44.510 --> 00:01:47.959
You can add more than one tag; just be sure
to separate them with semicolons.

00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:57.009
Now, when you search for these keywords, you'll
instantly see those images.

00:01:57.009 --> 00:02:06.049
You can also add a Search Filter to filter
by type, date, or other criteria.

00:02:06.049 --> 00:02:11.970
The more details you add to your files, the
more powerful your search will become.

00:02:11.970 --> 00:02:14.440
If you want, you can create your own Libraries.

00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:17.860
If you're working on a project, you may want
to have a Library so you can easily get to

00:02:17.860 --> 00:02:21.780
all of the folders pertaining to that project.

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:27.230
Click on "Libraries," and then click "New
Library."

00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:33.530
We'll name ours "Africa."

00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:45.490
Now you can add any folders you like to the
new Library.

00:02:45.490 --> 00:02:50.600
So that's how Windows 7 uses Libraries and
Desktop search to make organizing and finding

00:02:50.600 --> 00:03:15.290
your files easier than ever.
