Solved Libraries?

[Alexey2912]

Hi,

I accidentally deleted or changed the layout of the Documents, Pictures Videos libraries, how can I restore them to default?

Thanks.

Hello Alexy, and welcome to Seven Forums.

No worries, you only removed the included folders for those the libraries.

Each default library contains the two folder locations below by default. You can just add them to the appropriate library to restore them. Substitute folder in the path below with the folder for that library. For example, Documents folder for the Documents library.

• C:\Users\(user-name)\folder
• C:\Users\Public\folder

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thanks Brink for the prompt reply.

I see 2 folders for Documents but for Pictures and Videos only 1, how do I add as in default?

Apologize for my ignorance.

 

[Brink]

The tutorial below can help show you how to.

Thanks again Brinks.

 

[Brink]

You're most welcome.

 

[Alexey2912]

Apologize to be botherin you again Brink.

1. Have C:\Users\XPS\folder
C:\Users\Public\folder only for My Documents.

2. None for Music.

3. For Pictures and Videos just C:\Users\XPS\folder.

How can I have both C:\Users\XPS\folder
C:\Users\Public\folder for the rest 3 i.e Music, Pictures and Videos?

Windows Search is on and have indexing unchecked.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

It's no bother at all.

Sure, you can include any folder(s) you like in a library. You'll just need to repeat the tutorial below to include the folders per library.

Thanks Brink, which option should I adopt, the 1st or 2nd one?

I get this error using 2nd option?

Can one delete all libraries and create new ones?

 

[Brink]

Are you able to navigate to and directly open your C:\Users\XPS\Music folder in File Explorer?

There might be an issue with that folder instead.

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks Brink, I have been able to restore all 4 defaults, but when click on the 2 saved locations get the error/non responsive as shown in the attached shot....is that normal if not how do I correct it?

 

[Alexey2912]

Brink is it fine to have Documents at 2 places i.e in Favorites and in Libraries, or is it advisable to remove from Favorites?

Thanks.

 

[Brink]

Are you able to directly open the unresponsive folders that you are trying to include in the library?

Do you have indexing enabled?

Index - Enable or Disable

The items listed under Favorites are just shortcuts, so it doesn't matter. Favorites is good to for folders that you open often to make it easier to do so as needed.

Are you able to directly open the unresponsive folders that you are trying to include in the library? Yes.

Indexing is disabled/unchecked.

 

[Brink]

Enable indexing, make sure those folder locations are added to the index, rebuild the index, and after the index has finished rebuilding see if those folders still show as unresponsive when including in a library.

My other lap's libraries are fine, running W7, indexing disabled?

I probably dragged the mouse on the Dell?

 

[Brink]

Is it working ok now with them added to the index?

 

[Alexey2912]

Brink got it solved. I restored the last created full image.

I have a question if in Services, Windows Search is disabled I get the same results when clicked on locations as Unresponsive, but when enabled it's fine.

My lap's HDD in My computer > rt click > Properties indexing is unchecked, should that box be checked too along with Windows Search or it doesn't matter.

Thanks.

 

[Brink]

That's great news.

If you would like files on the C: drive to be indexed, then you would check it. The default setting is checked.

 

[Alexey2912]

Thanks Brink but they say that indexing HDD slows down old systems.....am I correct?
