The new libraries feature in Windows 7 acts like a My Documents folder but lets you also add folders on external hard drives to the Library so your files are all in one place.
Connect your external hard drive.
Open the start menu and search for 'Libraries'. Press Enter.
Right click on the name of the library you want to add files to and choose 'Properties'. Documents, Pictures, Videos and Music are the defaults. You can also create your own by right clicking in the libraries folder and choosing New - Library.
Now choose the 'Include a folder' button.
Browse to the folder on your external HDD that you want to add t o the library.
Press 'Include Folder'.
Press 'OK'.
You're done. Now when you choose the Document, Pictures, Videos or Music option on the start menu you'll find the files stored on your external hard drive are also present.
