Page 103 - Windows 10 May 2019 Update The Missing Manual: The Book That Should Have Been in the Box

This tab controls the look, arrangement, and layout of the icons in the

window: list view, icon view, sorted alphabetically, sorted chronologically,
and so on. For the complete rundown, see “The ‘Folder Options’ Options,”
a free PDF appendix to this book. It’s on the Missing CD at
missingmanuals.com.

Library Tools/Manage Tab

In a few places, you get a bonus tab—with a weird double-stacked title.

These tabs appear only when you’ve opened the window of a library—a
special class of folders that can display the contents of other folders,
wherever they may actually sit on your machine, without your having to
move them. You can read more about libraries on this book’s Missing CD;

see the PDF appendix “Libraries” at missingmanuals.com.

Music Tools/Play Tab

In the navigation list at the left side of a File Explorer window, folders like
Music and Pictures await your inspection. Each offers a special Ribbon tab
of its own. For example, when you’ve selected a music file in the Music
library (either the one Windows gives you or one you’ve made yourself),

the window bears a new double-decker tab called Music Tools/Play. These
are your options:

Play. Opens your music-playback program and begins playing the
highlighted music. (If you’ve never selected a favorite playback

program, Windows offers you a list of music programs and invites
you to choose one.)

Play all. Opens your playback app and begins playing everything
in the window.

Add to playlist. Adds the highlighted music file to a new, untitled

playlist in Windows Media Player. The idea is that you can root
around here, in a File Explorer window, adding files to a playlist
without having to open Media Player first.
