"Library" FAQ in Windows 8 system

  
What is a library?

library is accessible collection of all documents, music, pictures and other files from one location. In some ways, libraries are similar to folders: you can use libraries to browse and sort files. But unlike folders, libraries can collect files stored in multiple locations. This is a subtle but important difference. The library does not actually store the project. They perform push operations from the folder containing the project and allow you to access and arrange the projects in different ways. For example, if you have music files in folders on your computer and on an external drive, you can access all your music files simultaneously from your music library. How

create or change a library?

Windows has four default libraries: Documents, music, pictures and video. You can also create a new library. To create a new library:

open the "Explorer" in the following way: swipe from the right edge of the screen to the center, click on the "Search" (if you are using a mouse, point to the upper right corner of the screen, and then Move the pointer down, click Search, enter "Explorer" in the search box, and then click or click "Apply" and "Explorer".

In the navigation pane, click or click the "library."

Click or click on the "Home" tab and the "New Project" and then select "Library."

Enter the name of the library, and then press Enter. If the project

delete a library or library, what happens?

If you delete a library, the library will be moved to the "Recycle Bin." However, files and folders accessed through the library are not deleted. If you delete any of the four default libraries (documents, music, pictures, or videos), you can quickly create one. Click or click the Library Tools tab and then tap or click Restore Settings. If you delete a

has been added to the library folder, that folder is removed from the library, but did not actually deleted. If you delete items in a folder in the library, they are actually deleted. Why

recently included in a library folder you can not find the file? After

add folders to the library, you may not be an immediate search and view the complete folder. This is because Windows is also indexing the folder. What type of position

library support?

file from many different positions can be incorporated into a library folder, such as drive C, drive, or an external network.

folders are stored in the C drive, which can be included in the library.

folder stored on an external drive, it may be included in the library, but if the drive is disconnected, the files and folders will not be available.

folder stored on the other drives in the computer, it can be included in the library.

folders are stored in the U, may be displayed only when the device is in the navigation pane "hard drive" section of "computer" is. This is set by the device manufacturer and can be changed in some cases. For more information, please visit the manufacturer's website. Files and folders will not be available if the drive is disconnected.

folders are stored on removable media (such as a CD or DVD), not to include it in the library.

folder stored on the network, it can be included in the library, as long as the index has been prepared for the network location, or the folder available offline. (Refer to the following questions.)

Why do I receive a message saying that a location can not be included because there is no position for indexing?

This shows that there is no folder for indexing stored on the device that folder. The easiest way to index the folder to include it in the library is to make the folder available offline. When you set a network folder to be available offline, a copy of all the files in that folder will be stored on your computer, and these files will be added to the search index on your computer.

if the network folder contains a large number of files, and you do not want to save a copy of them in the computer, you can still add the folder to a library.

Why do I receive a message saying that some library functionality is not supported because the repository location can not be used?

When you use an application when not indexed folders (such as network folders) to add to the library, you may receive such a message. Searching, sorting, and filtering in the library will be slow. To speed up the execution of these tasks, remove the location from the library. If it's important for you to keep this folder in the library, you can create a new library for that folder separately, which will not slow down the search, sorting, and filtering in any other library location.
