How To Include Folders In Libraries

Sep 12, 2015

I have tried many times to include folders in my libraries with no luck. I've done this tons of times before, so I know I'm doing this correctly.

Here's what I do : Right-click on my D drive "Music" folder, which is the folder I want to add to the "Music" library.

I select "Include in library" and select the "Music" library.

However, after this I do not see the D-drive music folder or it's contents in the Music library.

When I attempt to add the D-drive music folder to the "Music" library again I get a response that says "Music is already included in the library."

Even after restarting I don't see it.

I tried using "WinLibraryTool". I could see the libraries I had added but weren't seeing. I tried changing the libraries from here but I get an error. This app probably isn't 10 compatible.

I have tried this with many different folders and libraries but I have the same problem.

Any Way To Include Folders In A Library?

Aug 2, 2015

In Windows 10, I can only merge folders with the library. I can't just add a folder to a library anymore, like in Windows 7/8. I wonder how can I add folders to a library, because I need multiple folders in a library.

Customization :: Remove OneDrive Folders From Libraries

Aug 15, 2015

I actually do use OneDrive, and I am not trying to remove the app entirely. However, it seems like if I remove the OneDrive folder from my libraries (music, pictures, documents), next boot they show right back up.

This is incredibly annoying as I actually want my folders isolated... Documents is my local documents, and only the stuff I want put in the cloud is in OneDrive.

Adding Libraries And PC Folders In Save As Dialog?

Sep 17, 2015

ADDING Libraries to and REMOVING the This PC folder from the Save As dialog? I know how to remove and add these in File Explorer, but have no luck in finding a solution for the Save As dialog.I found this thread, but when I get to the value to be changed it already is set to that.

When you have an SSD drive with a secondary HDD for files, you can remap libraries to the HDD but saving files from a program is a problem. I guess another option would be to remap the This PC folders to the HDD and not show the libraries.

Modifying Any Folder Called Include Crashes

Aug 22, 2015

This problem didn't happen to me before upgrading from Windows 8. If I'm deleting, copying or moving a folder called "include", explorer.exe closes itself and reopens after a few seconds. If I'm only opening the folder, the green progress bar moves very slowly and stops at about 99.9% even if the folder doesn't contain anything heavy. Originally explorer.exe crashed even if I was opening the folder but I found a thread where disabling Windows error reporting fixed the problem. For me it didn't, just changed it a little bit. Information about my OS and computer is available at my profile.

All Libraries Files LOST After Update

Aug 21, 2015

I recently updated my win 8.1 laptop to win 10. Then for the first few times that I used this computer I noticed that my files were hidden in the windows.old folder. So I copied them to their respective libraries and moved on.

Then earlier this morning I turned on my laptop to see some updates happening. After it happened, I saw my computer apps go back, and some of my customization settings. However, my library files are nowhere to be found (documents, images, videos, sounds). How to recover?

Customization :: Libraries Don't Appear In Left Segment Of Explorer

Oct 2, 2015

I've added folders to my libraries (like music, pictures etc.) but in the explorer they don't appear there, on the left. Instead I (gather that) I see folders with the same names as the libraries (which is quite confusing)...

For example, in the "music" library I have added a big fat folder with mp3s (other than the "iTunes" you see in the pic), which does not appear when I click on music, here. Apparently, this is not the library but some other folder of the same name.

I'd like to see the libraries there, instead of these folders. Is that possible?

Start Menu Folders Within Folders

Jan 2, 2016

On Windows 7 start menu you could have a folder such as EA Games and then sub folders within. For example a folder for tiger woods golf, a folder for say Fifa and so on. It seems on Windows 10 you can only have one folder level. I have tried creating sub folders but all the shortcuts within the sub folders all appear under the one top/master folder when actually viewing the start menu. Am I correct in this observation/restriction?

Folders Not Opening

Dec 8, 2015

3 days ago I was exploring an older hard drive. When I tried to explore the desktop folder of that drive Windows Vista, it wouldn't open. It suggested that i shared the folder so I could explore it or copy files from that folder(which is what I originally wanted to do). When I did, the folders on any drive stopped opening. When I try to open any folder, it flashes white and returns to the desktop.

Folders Displaying Twice

Dec 16, 2015

Every window I open, along the left side, under "Quick access", there's a long long list of different places, folders etc.

Is there any way to trim this list? In particular, for some reason C drive, as well as any attached external drives, show up twice each. There doesn't seem to be any way of getting them to remember a default view - the same things appear everytime I open every folder. This didn't happen in Win7. I'm logged in as admin, there are no other accounts

All Folders Are Read Only?

Aug 21, 2015

Since I have upgraded to Windows 10 Pro, I noticed that all my folders' attributes are read only . Even if I create new folders, they are read only on creation. When I try to remove the read only attribute in the folder properties, it looks like it's removed, but when I check it again, it shows that it's read only. I tried other methods, like diskpart, and tried to take ownership of the folders

Is there any way to fix this problem? I can create new files and modify existing files in the folders without any problem, but it's really annoying, for example Steam says it can't install games and updates, because the folder what I choose to install games is in read only mode, the only solution is to run it as an administrator. I need to run almost every program as an admin, to make them usable, or they report problems with read only folders. The OS itself is up to date.

How To Remove Folders Under This PC But Keep Them Elsewhere

Jul 30, 2015

I couldn't fit it all in the title. Basically what I'm trying to ask for is if there is a way to remove the folders from "This PC" so I'm just displaying my hard drives like before. I'd like to keep the folders under quick access, and I would like to keep the folders in general, but they simply do not belong right by the drives under "This PC". I like change, but this one, I do not like at all.
