Editing WinFS (section)

===Shell namespace===
WinFS Beta 1 includes a [[Windows Shell|shell]] namespace extension, which surfaces WinFS stores as top level objects in ''My Computer'' view.<ref name="PaulT" /> Files can be copied into and out of the stores, as well as applications can be directly used to save there. Even folders such as ''My Documents'' can be redirected to the stores.<ref name="PaulT" /> WinFS uses ''Importer'' plug-ins to analyze the files as they were being imported to the store and create proper WinFS schemas and objects, and when taking the objects out, re-pack them into files.<ref name="Sync" /> If importers for certain files are not installed, they are stored as generic ''File'' types.
