Libraries in Windows 7

This is an important note for using AE for Windows 7 in combination with the new function "Libraries".

Libraries in Windows 7 are "virtual folders" which can be used to combine contents that have been stored in different locations. In other words, they are a collection of different directories.

These virtual directories can be accessed via the path "Libraries" (e.g. "Libraries\Documents"). This is a "relative path" because it does not indicate the actual storage location. Thus, it cannot be used in combination with AE.

This note is of special importance when you use agents for file transfers which run on Windows 7.

The absolute path is required to access Libraries using AE. Under Windows 7, Libraries are stored in the following directory:

C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries\
