Windows 7 introduces a new way of thinking about folders. As a matter of fact, as pointed out by Wikipedia “Libraries are virtual folders that aggregate content from various locations – including shared folders on networked systems – and present them in a unified view.”  Basically, Libraries are folders which have been specifically tailored to host certain files such as documents, videos, music etc. Here is a simple trick to hide or show them.

1. Click Start.
2. In the Search box, type Windows Explorer and press Enter.
3. Right-click on a library you want to hide.
4. A menu should appear. Select Don’t show in Navigation Pane.

If instead you want to show a Library follow these steps:

1. Click Start.
2. In the Search box, type Windows Explorer and press Enter.
3. Right-click on a library that is hidden.
4. A menu should appear. Select Show in Navigation Panel.
