Windows 7 (http://www.windows732bitkey.net/) libraries are a really useful feature of Windows 7 (http://www.key-windows-7.eu/),Microsoft Office 2007 Standard Key (http://www.key-office-2007.co.uk/), however unfortunately they arrive in a slighly cut-down form out of the box. Microsoft decided against exposing some really useful capabilities to users, like adding network locations, pretty much the first thing I tried to do. You get this message:
Luckily, you can add network locations (and any other un-indexed locations), but it must be done programatically. MS supply a command line utility slutil.exe, candidate for the worst named executable in history. Pretty sure it stands for shell_library_util. Anyway,Office 2010 Professional Plus Key (http://www.key-office-2010.us/), I decided to write a tool to make it easy to add network locations, and added a few other features as well:
Add network (UNC or mapped drive) 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 (using symbolic links) in [SystemDrive]:\libraries. This means you can reference all your files using a much shorter path,Office Enterprise 2007 Product Key (http://www.key-office-2010.eu/office-2007-key), 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.
Hopefully it’s easy enough to use,Cheap Windows 7 Ultimate (http://www.windows732bitkey.net/), so I don’t have to explain it
You can download it for free below. (Note: This will only run on >= Windows 7 (http://www.key-windows-7.in/).)
Download Installer | Source Code
I must give credit to Josh Smith for his TreeView CodeProject article, upon which this solution is modelled.
The application uses the Microsoft API CodePack to manipulate libraries, which I encourage you to check out if you are writing software to integrate / take advantage of new features in Windows 7 (http://www.key-windows-7.us/).
If you want to learn why and how libraries were introduced in Windows 7 (http://www.key-office-2007.ca/windows-7-key), including diving into the .library-ms file format, you can read this MSDN article.
