## Features for Administrators
Administrators can configure and control Windows libraries in the following ways:
Administrators can configure and control Windows libraries in the following methods:
- Create custom libraries by creating and deploying Library Description (*.library-ms) files.
- Hide or delete the default libraries. (The Library node itself cannot be hidden or deleted from the Windows Explorer navigation pane.)
- Hide or delete the default libraries. (The Library node itself can't be hidden or deleted from the Windows Explorer navigation pane.)
- Specify a set of libraries available to Default User, and then deploy those libraries to users that derive from Default User.
- Specify locations to include in a library.
- Remove a default location from a library.
- Remove advanced libraries features, when the environment does not support the local caching of files, by using the [Turn off Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file data](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/dd744697(v=ws.10)#WS_TurnOffWindowsLibraries) Group Policy. This makes all libraries basic (see [Indexing Requirements and Basic Libraries](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/dd744693(v=ws.10)#WS_IndexingReqs_BasicLibraries)), removes libraries from the scope of the Start menu search, and removes other features to avoid confusing users and consuming resources.

## More about Libraries
The following is important information about libraries you may need to understand to successfully manage your enterprise.
The following information is important in the context of libraries you may need to understand to successfully manage your enterprise.
### Library Contents
Including a folder in a library does not physically move or change the storage location of the files or folders; the library is a view into those folders. However, users interacting with files in a library are copying, moving, and deleting the files themselves, not copies of these files.

### 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](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/ee461108(v=ws.10)#BKMK_HideDefaultLibraries) for instructions.

### Default Save Locations for Libraries
Each library has a default save location. Files are saved or copied to this location if the user chooses to save or copy a file to a library, rather than a specific location within the library. Known folders are the default save locations; however, users can select a different save location.
If the user removes the default save location from a library, the next location is automatically selected as the new default save location. If the library is empty of locations or if all included locations cannot be saved to, then the save operation fails.

### Indexing Requirements and “Basic” Libraries
Certain library features depend on the contents of the libraries being indexed. Library locations must be available for local indexing or be indexed in a manner conforming to the Windows Indexing Protocol. If indexing is not enabled for one or more locations within a library, the entire library reverts to basic functionality:
Certain library features depend on the contents of the libraries being indexed. Library locations must be available for local indexing or be indexed in a manner conforming to the Windows Indexing Protocol. If indexing isn't enabled for one or more locations within a library, the entire library reverts to basic functionality:
- No support for metadata browsing via **Arrange By** views.
- Grep-only searches.
- Grep-only search suggestions. The only properties available for input suggestions are **Date Modified** and **Size**.
- No support for searching from the Start menu. Start menu searches do not return files from basic libraries.
- No support for searching from the Start menu. Start menu searches don't return files from basic libraries.
- No previews of file snippets for search results returned in Content mode.
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.

For instructions on enabling indexing, see [How to Enable Indexing of Library Locations](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/ee461108(v=ws.10)#BKMK_EnableIndexLocations).
If your environment does not support caching files locally, you should enable the [Turn off Windows Libraries features that rely on indexed file](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/dd744697(v=ws.10)#WS_TurnOffWindowsLibraries) data Group Policy. This makes all libraries basic. For further information, see [Group Policy for Windows Search, Browse, and Organize](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/dd744697(v=ws.10)).

### Folder Redirection
While library files themselves cannot be redirected, you can redirect known folders included in libraries by using [Folder Redirection](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-R2-and-2012/hh848267(v=ws.11)). 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.

There are a few ways to figure this out. Each method provides a different set of details, so it’s useful to learn about all of them.
