Ways to make the most out of libraries in Windows 7

Second post in a day...

Did you know that libraries in Windows 7 are very useful? You can store your school/college works, games, links to your website/blog/forum, and etc.

In the image below, you can see that I have some custom libraries: games, for storing games that I played, disk images, for storing disk images I use in virtual machine, myvms, for storing my virtual machines, and mysite, for storing links to my blog, website, website control panel, forum, and survey.

Note the custom libraries in the image isn't there by default, you'll have to create it. You can do that within just a right-click or in a file menu.

Libraries are useful because 1) you have a lot of school/college works that scattered everywhere and you don't want to browse to various folders, and for storing your virtual machines you've created, games you've played the most and links to your website, blog and forum.

If you're coming from say Windows XP like me, you've probably will not realize the power of libraries until you've used Windows 7 for months. This is true for folks that comes from Windows 9x land. Libraries is my favorite feature of Windows 7 because it simplifies the searching of files in my computer.
