2 Tools and Ways to Manage Your Windows Libraries

Microsoft has made some aspects of managing Windows libraries rather difficult -- what if you want to add removable drives or network shares to a library? What if you want to choose a custom icon for your libraries? To do these things, you'll need a third-party tool for managing your Windows libraries. These tools are useful on Windows 7, but they can be even more useful on Windows 8, as Modern apps don't have access to the file system and can only see files in the appropriate library.

Thomas Edison once said, "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration." Although fundamental, it's something most people forget -- persistance and unrelenting hard work pays off. In today's "shortcut, fast-track" world, it's important to always remember to be determined.

6 Reasons You're Going to Love iOS 7

I've spent around a week playing with Apple's preview version of iOS 7 in its current beta form and in that time I've had plenty of time to peruse Apple's vision for the future of iOS. It goes without saying that passing judgement at this stage would be a very silly thing to do - after all, the OS is still half-baked and there are months of development to go. Why, then, did so many people form negative opinions of the refresh, Jony Ive's homework and Apple's current state of affairs within hours of the company's WWDC 2013 announcement?

Introducing the Airbnb of food! Cookening doesn't actually have anything to do with Airbnb, but being an Airbnb veteran guest myself, I couldn't help but notice the resemblance between the two services. The only difference is that with Cookening, you don't get a place to stay, you get a home-cooked meal from a local. Or, if you're the local, you get to cook and host tourists in your house.

4 More YouTube Channels Worth Your Attention

A little over a year ago, I hit MUO readers with a short list of lesser-known YouTube series and personalities worth checking out .

Windows 8 features a pretty slick Mail app. If you thought it only supported Microsoft accounts, such as Hotmail, Windows Live, or Outlook, you were wrong. The Windows 8 Mail app lets you add any email account that supports IMAP. As it always is in life, the theory is beautiful, but in practice we run into all sorts of petty issues. That was me when I tried to set up the Windows 8 Mail app. This article will help you set up the Mail app and troubleshoot common pitfalls in case you get stuck.
