Generic Company Place Holder Win7 Library Tool
Windows 7's Libraries feature makes it easy to find the documents, music, pictures, and videos scattered across various locations on your hard drive. Just one problem: Libraries don't support network locations. That's a pretty huge hassle for anyone who has multiple PCs, as sometimes the files you want are sitting on another hard drive. Enter Win7 Library Tool, a handy little utility that makes it easy to add network folders to your Libraries. So, for example, if I want to view the digital photos on my wife's PC, I can now add her Photos folder to my Pictures Library.
Just as handy, the tool provides a centralized location for tweaking your Library settings. It even lets you change the icons for various Libraries. But I think my favorite Win7 Library Tool feature is backups: You can save a set of libraries for later restoration, like after you've done an OS reinstall or migrated to a new PC.
Suffice it to say, this is a must-have app for anyone who spends a lot of time at the "Library."
(Need a Libraries primer? My colleague Dave Johnson, of PC World Digital Focus fame, recently produced a video showing how Libraries make searches more effective.)
Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the author accepts and encourages donations towards further development.
