Libraries are also a new feature in Windows 7. Libraries are integrated in Windows Explorer and are designed to find and organize files scattered across a PC and/or network. This feature brings all your documents, music, pictures, or videos together into one area that might seem like a folder although the files are in different locations on the system and/or network. A user can create his or her own Libraries; for instance, a "Work Files" Library can be linked to a folder in the user's profile, a shared network drive, and an external media device bringing all the files in the different locations into a single window.
This feature can prove to make users more productive by easily locating files. Libraries may be accessed through Windows Explorer and creating a new Library is as easy as right-clicking on the window and selecting New Library or from the button under the address bar in Windows Explorer. To add locations to the new Library, right-click and select Properties. Here a user can add file locations from the local host, network, removal media, etc.
Location Aware Printing is a new feature that will prove very useful to both administrators and end users. Windows 7 has the capability to determine what printers coincide with each network. Whenever a user prints from a network, Windows 7 will remember the printer and network used. Next time the user returns to that network it will automatically set the default printer as the one last used.
This will allow for less headaches and steps to printing for laptop users between their work and home environment. Road warriors or any laptop user with Windows 7 Professional and above will be able to use and appreciate this feature.
Windows 7 Enterprise and Ultimate Editions have multilingual user interface support. This feature allows for a single deployment to systems all over the world. The desired language may then be installed on the system without the need of a separate image. Before Windows 7, administrators had to create separate images for each language supported. Any administrator in that position will attest that it was a daunting process.
Not only did the older method require separate images for each language, but also it deviated from the standard image deployed company wide. The language packs to enable a multilingual user interface can be obtained from Windows Update or included in the image if properly planned for during the preparing and planning phase.
