Windows 7 Libraries best practices

"I wouldn't really say you need to use libraries if you only have one location - you probably just want to look at creating shortcuts on the left task bar.

The whole point of Libraries is to index multiple locations and write to one.

For example, if you have MP3's in 200 folders but only want to use d:\mp3 for new ones, you would create a library called MP3, set the 200 folders as the location of files (so you can search e.t.c.) but then just set d:\mp3 as the primary / default location."
