How can I tag (what does that mean?) my pictures folders to both Documents and to Pictures? My "Media" includes both images and documents which Windows 7 treats differently. Right now, I have a separate "My Pictures" folder which now includes my RM pictures Folder and has subfolders by surname. I also have a Documents/Genealogy/Surname folders which may have subfolders for Surnamedoc and Surnamepic. I can find them but sometimes I have look in several places or to do a search to find what I am looking for.

I used the 'tag' term because of RM's usage of it with media but a Windows Library simply says "Library locations". Right-click on "Libraries" to create a new Library. Right-click on a Library to view its Properties which you can revise to set the folders to be included. When you have selected "Libraries" in Windows Explorer, press F1 to get Help on Libraries.
