    moving files into library folder


    I have tried everything I can think of, and can't do this. I want to put all my .xls files into a library folder. Everytime I try to do this. Excel opens before I can move anything. My files are scattered all over various drives, and I want them all together.I am sure I am missing something very simple. Please help?

    You can't move files into Libraries. Libraries are sort of shortcuts to all the files in a folder. You can add folders to libraries. For more info click on this link Windows 7 - Tutorial Index and then click on the L. There's a bunch of them.
