Ok, I got my first Windows 7 machine and am trying to deal with the libraries. I can't seem to figure out exactly how to accomplish this. I save a census image and it downloaded to my "downloads" folder. I made a new folder under my downloads folder and moved that census image to it. I have moved it to my "documents", which windows designated as a library . My RM5 folder is in "documents". I want the census image folder under RM5... and can't seem to make this happen. I realize this is not strictly a roots magic question, but I want to be able to address this image under the media gallery. Any thoughts as to where I have gone astray? Jinny Angelis

A folder is a unique location in the Operating System directory structure. A Windows Library is an arbitrary collection of folders. A folder can be tagged to multiple Libraries. You can design and modify your Libraries to include what you want. RM5 can browse Libraries but will store the OS path for media (e.g., "C:\My Documents\Family Tree\RM5\Media"), not the Library 'path' which might be "Ancestry\Media" where the Ancestry Library includes the folder "C:\My Documents\Family Tree\RM5" and its sub-folders but not any higher level folders.

That's what it seemed. Just wanted that new folder to be under my RM5 folder so I could back up the genealogy stuff easily. Thanks, I'll work on this.
