Introduction to Windows 7 - Computing Fundamentals - page 129

Libraries are virtual folders that combine the contents of several locations into one window.
The default libraries are Documents, Pictures, Music, and Videos for each user. You can create
your own libraries too, and set up libraries to monitor additional folders. Each library has a Save
Location , which is the folder that files are placed in when saved to the library.

To select contiguous files and folders, hold down Shift as you click the first and last ones. To
select non-contiguous files and folders, hold down Ctrl as you click each one individually. To cre-
ate a new folder, click the New Folder button on the command bar.

To rename a file or folder, select it, press F2, type the new name, and press Enter. To delete a file
or folder, select it and press the Delete key. Deleted files go to the Recycle Bin; you can retrieve
them from there.

You can move and copy files using the Clipboard, drag-and-drop, or use the Move to Folder or
Copy to Folder command.

A shortcut is a pointer to a file or folder. To create a shortcut, right-drag an object to a new loca-
tion and on the shortcut menu that appears when you release the mouse button, choose Create
Shortcuts Here.
