How to disable Libraries.
brittosa of Neowin has posted a way to disable Libraries in Windows 7.
I have created this registry fix, based on his inputs. Simply double click on it, to add the registry entries.
On reboot you will find that the Libraries feature has been disabled in Windows 7.
Always a good idea to create a System Restore Point first!
