Hello,

Someone was on my laptop today, and I noticed they had a window opened called Library. It looked like a list of files or something. I would like to know what this is, just to make sure nothing related to the operating system can be corrupted by using this program. Also, how can I access it myself? Thank you.

I am using Vista Home Premium on an Acer Aspire 5920.

There's no program in Vista called Library unless of course you have installed one.
There is however a program in Windows to view files and folders. The program is called Windows Explorer.
Follow this link to see how to use this program. http://tutorials.beginners.co.uk/using-windows-explorer.htm

It is possible to delete files and folders using Windows Explorer.
If you are already aware of Windows Explorer and it is not the program you saw then please try to supply further info about this mystery program which will help in its identification.

FWIW - Libraries are a feature of Windows 7
I'd suggest going to Start and typing "Library" (without the quotes) and see what pops up in the search box.
