Difference between Libraries and Folders with Shortcuts
I'm very unclear on the purpose of "libraries" in Windows 7. It seems to me that the same structure could be duplicated in Windows 7 and earlier versions by simply creating a folder (as a "library") and putting the relevant shortcuts to other folders or files in that folder.
Given that, the whole library system just seems redundant, and it sometimes even gets in the way. Do libraries have any other purposes or advantages over shortcuts of which I am unaware? Thanks.
