The Library System Of Windows 7

Compared to the Taskbar and the System Tray, Explorer hasn't modified much in Windows 7

. Libraries could just as appropriately have been called File Cabinets, since they gather related folders in one place. By default, you get Libraries labeled Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos, each of which initially takes you to the operating system standard folders for storing the named items such as My Pictures and Public Pictures.

To take profit from Libraries, you have to customize them. Right-click any folder on your hard drive, and you can add it to any Library. You can convert the Pictures Library into a collection of all your folders that has photos. You can build additional Libraries of your own from starting, such as one that bundles up all folders that relate to your vacation plans. Libraries would be even more effective if Microsoft had integrated them with Saved Searches, the Windows feature that lets you build virtual folders based on searches, such as one that tracks down every .jpg image file on your system. But while windows 7 provides you to add standard folders to a Library.

Home Groups are password-protected, but rather than inviting you to provide a password of your choice during initial setup, Windows gives you the one consisting of ten characters of alphanumeric and instructs you to write it down so you won't forget it. To be fair, passwords made up of random characters that give nice security, and the only time you need the password is when you first linked to a new PC to a HomeGroup. HomeGroups won't work unless all of the PCs are running Windows 7, a scenario that won't be typical anytime soon.

Federated Search, a new Windows Explorer feature, feels incomplete also. It uses the Open Search standard to give Windows 7 search connectors for external sources. This facility grants you to search sites such as Flicker and YouTube from within Explorer. User Account Control, the Windows Vista security element that was a poster child for everything that rankled people about that OS. It is focused to prevent rogue software from modifying the PC by endlessly prompting you to approve running applications or changing settings. The experience was so grating that many users preferred to turn it off and take their chances with Internet attackers.

Other than salvaging UAC, Microsoft has made relatively few important modifications to Windows 7 security system. One effective improvement is BitLocker, the drive-encryption tool included only in Windows 7 Ultimate and the corporate-oriented Windows 7 Enterprise, provides you encrypt USB drives and hard disks, courtesy of a feature called BitLocker to Go. It's one of the few good reasons to select Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 7 Home Premium or Windows 7 Professional. Windows 7 new touch features are integrated on a touch-capable PC and invisible otherwise. Swipe your finger up or down to scroll through document files and Web pages, sweep two fingers back and forth to zoom in and out. Dragging up on icons in the Taskbar shows Windows 7 new Jump Lists. The Taskbar button that reveals the Windows desktop is a little bigger on touch PCs for simplifying usage.
