Internal hard drive
The storage capacity of current hard drives is very large when compared to the network storage. Hard drives also have higher transfer rates, so data can be accessed more quickly. Access is limited to the computer in question.
Which areas are there?
and the like. This area is located in a subfolder (= login name) of C:\Users. A user’s access to data of another user is not provided for, and must first be activated if needed.
Besides the user directories, there is a shared storage area for all users of the PC (C:\Users\Public).
Libraries present filtered views of the computer’s (private and public) files; they collect (any desired number of) various folders into one virtual folder, removing the need to deal with those folders’ actual locations.
Windows operating systems separate libraries into Pictures, Documents, Music and Videos. They’re easy to create, to expand with local directories, and to delete safely, since the folders are virtual. You can also add other local data storage devices or subfolders from those devices. However, folders of the network storage (H: or I:) cannot be integrated into a library!
In the start menu, connections to the standard libraries can be seen in the right column.
'Favourites' (in the navigation area) and left-click on 'Add current location to favourites'.
Don’t create your own folder in C:\User; instead, use the available profile folder.
