Dir of Windows7 Library
Hi,
I understand there are windows libraries and you can get to them from the Windows Explorer. But is it possible and how to have like a DIR command from the command prompt show the contents of a library?
like from a command prompt we know we can like:
Dir C:\
Or
Dir C:\Test\*.exe
How can one do a directory of a library?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I know I created a library with SLUtil and it functions like a library, however, it does not function the same way as the ex: C:\users\[name]\[created library name].
So, there is no capability of doing that? Takes away from the usefulness then. I can only guess that is why it's not a heavily used in windows.

libraries are a user item and tied to explorer and are very useful just not a game changer item.

I actually have very, very rarely seem them used or used in the right context/manner even from a UI prospective.
There could have been a lot better use outside of GUI especially being that not everything is GUI especially around a server front.

Thanks for the response. Greatly appreciated. Sucks it cannot be done because that would be stellar. Hopefully it will be realized though.
dir C:\users\<username>\Music
where <username> is the User's name.
