### Hiding Default Libraries
|
||||
|
||||
Users or administrators can hide or delete the default libraries, though the libraries node in the Navigation pane cannot be hidden or deleted. Hiding a default library is preferable to deleting it, as applications like Windows Media Player rely on the default libraries and will re-create them if they do not exist on the computer. See [How to Hide Default Libraries](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/d44c78e0-08ef-4e91-935a-a6f43716e37d#BKMK_HideDefaultLibraries) for instructions.

### Default Save Locations for Libraries

@ -75,13 +75,13 @@ Certain library features depend on the contents of the libraries being indexed.
|
||||
|
||||
To avoid this limited functionality, all locations within the library must be indexable, either locally or remotely. When users add local folders to libraries, Windows adds the location to the indexing scope and indexes the contents. Remote locations that are not indexed remotely can be added to the local index using Offline File synchronization. This gives the user the benefits of local storage even though the location is remote. Making a folder “Always available offline” creates a local copy of the folder’s files, adds those files to the index, and keeps the local and remote copies in sync. Users can manually sync locations which are not indexed remotely and are not using folder redirection to gain the benefits of being indexed locally.

### Folder Redirection
|
||||
|
||||
While library files themselves cannot be redirected, you can redirect known folders included in libraries by using [Folder Redirection](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/hh848267.aspx). For example, you can redirect the “My Documents” folder, which is included in the default Documents library. When redirecting known folders, you should make sure that the destination is either indexed or always available offline in order to maintain full library functionality. In both cases, the files for the destination folder are indexed and supported in libraries. These settings are configured on the server side.
