Understanding Libraries

• Windows 8 sets up Documents, Music, Pictures, and Video libraries by default.

• A library does not store any files itself; it shows you the contents of multiple specified folders in one place.

• By default each library shows two locations: the one in your personal folder and the one in the Public folder– Example: My Documents (C:\Users\Lisa\My Documents) and Public Documents (C:\Users\Public\Public Documents)
