Enable libraries in Windows Explorer 10

Libraries first came to Windows 7 and are really a useful way to organize your files, as their function is to gather files from different folders and show them in a single view.

In , the “Libraries” item is missing from the window by default . If you frequently use libraries in Windows 7, you may want to have them in Windows 10. See the steps below to enable them below.

Step 1: Open File Explorer
Step 2: On the top right, go to the "View" tab and from there press the "Options" button


Step 3: In the menu that will open, select "Change folder and search options".
Step 4 : A new window titled “Folder Options” will open. There go to the “View” tab, then navigate with the bar s down the menu until you find the “Show Libraries” option located under the “Browsing Window” chapter.


Step 5: Check "Show libraries" and then press the OK button. Close all windows.

When you open it again , Libraries will appear in the navigation pane.

Alternatively and for those who are "looking for it" a little more, you can display the Libraries from Run with a shell command. Press the keys Win + R and type the following in the Run box that will open: shell:Libraries

The above special shell command will immediately display the Libraries folder.
