    Libraries don't appear in the left segment of the explorer


    I've added folders to my libraries (like music, pictures etc.) but in the explorer they don't appear there, on the left. Instead I (gather that) I see folders with the same names as the libraries (which is quite confusing)...

    For example, in the "music" library I have added a big fat folder with mp3s (other than the "iTunes" you see in the pic), which does not appear when I click on music, here. Apparently, this is not the library but some other folder of the same name.

    Matter of fact, I'm a bit confused....

    I'd like to see the libraries there, instead of these folders. Is that possible?
    thanx

    :)

  2. Ribbon missing in the task explorer, the libraries and also the text which appears on the title bar are also missing.

    I tried to locate it in the Programs and Features , but it wasn't there. so i searched for it and I found it. So while running your command I find this .

    Libraries don't appear in the left segment of the explorer

    For example, here's the "explorer" of some program. Here you can see on the left two times "Music" with the very same icon. But it doesn't seem to be the same thing.

    One time, it seems to be a folder of some kind... Second time it seems to be a library.

    Qs:
    • Why this very confusing folder/libary naming?
    • How can I have my windows explorer show the libraries instead of the folders?

    thnx

    EDIT: Sorry - I couldn't see the second one well. Please make it clearer.

    I got told off by the admins for being rude - I do not mean to be, just please show a screen print we can read.

    This is a picture of ACDSee 6 and this is the default theme. I would never pick such a theme but I wouldn't bother to change it, either.

    I don't care the least to impress anyone, let alone some unknown guy I don't know or care about. If you think it's a "comedy" theme, If you think I try to "impress" ppl and if you aren't able to see what the screenshot shows, just walk, I don't care the least to be helped by ppl with this kind of attitude.

    Libraries don't appear in the left segment of the explorer

    Thanks, Cliff S. I followed your instructions and now the libraries do appear there.

    But I find the existance of prefixed folders, along with the libraries, all with the same names (music, pictures etc.) disturbing. As I understand, I can't get rid of the folders, so I'll drop the use of the libraries and get on with the folders.


    ( I've been using MS OSs since MSDOS was the hot thing (I did skip vista, though, and uninstalled W8/8.1 soon after installation). I never remember another OS this hard to customize. )

    An option that I use is the Desktop tool bar and it's cascading menu when I want to access something quickly. I turn libraries off too in file explorer, but for example I have created an extra library for my VM's, so to access quickly I just do this:
