Windows 7 - Folder at bottom

chaddythebear

There is a folder at the bottom bar on my Windows 7 laptop, it used to have many options in it, including 'Downloads'...........

It now only has 4, 'Documents', 'Music', 'Pictures' and 'Videos'

Help! I miss all the ones that are gone

PS I have kids that 'use' laptop, so kinda used to stuff changing, but this I can't fix

thanks

Do you know what else was in there?

Windows 7 has those 4 Libraries (Docs, Music, Pics, Videos) as standard in that folder. You can add/re-add the Downloads folder (or another folder you wish) by creating a New Library:

1. Click the Folder Icon on the Windows 7 Bar
2. On the top, Click "New Library" and give it a name (in your case, "Downloads")
3. Now Open the Folder and click "Include Folder"
4. Under "Favorites" (located in the Side Panel), click "Downloads" and then click the "Include Folder" button

Was it a shortcut to the Libraries folder? (Open Windows Explorer - Winkey+E - and click on Libraries. Does that contain what you used to see in that folder?)
