Win7 Kaffee Klatchers,

In yesterdays meeting we had a very lively discussion of Libraries in Win7. While looking for material to include in the Meeting Notes update, I stumbled on a free program named Win7 Library Tool that, among other things, allows networked resources to be added to a library. Its Website is at:

Here's a list of capabilities of the Win7 Library Tool:

  • Add network  and any other un-indexed folders to libraries.

  • Backup library configuration, such that a saved set of libraries can be instantly restored at any point (like after a re-install of the OS or for transfer between multiple computers).

  • Create a mirror of all libraries so you can reference all your files using a much shorter path, and also provides another entry-point to your files in many places in the Operating System (e.g. file open/save dialogs).

  • Change a library’s icon.

An alternate download location that includes reviews is at:

Enjoy,
