    Windows 10 Indexing by Library


    I'm looking for a way in Windows 10 to only search by library and only search 3 libraries. I want to be able to hit the Windows key, type a search term and only have results from Music, a custom library for full albums, and Video and nothing else. Is this possible?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
