| | "Documents" folder getting crowded Hi all - I like the way Vista keeps user specific settings in a easily accessible folder - but this folder is getting crowded quickly. Is there anyway I can easily filter this view without going to the extreme of making the folders I don''t need that often "hidden" |

| | Re: "Documents" folder getting crowded Any particular reason you don't do a folder tree with categories to minimize the clutter? There's no reason to have a completely flat folder structure.

| | Re: "Documents" folder getting crowded Mark I agree with John. Create your own folders in Documents with unique names where you can keep your personal files organized. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Mark" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:244BDEC2-31C9-4EE6-88B0-6060F2F67056@xxxxxx Quote: > Hi all - I like the way Vista keeps user specific settings in a easily > accessible folder - but this folder is getting crowded quickly. > > Is there anyway I can easily filter this view without going to the extreme > of making the folders I don''t need that often "hidden" |

| | Re: "Documents" folder getting crowded Sorry, this post was retyped from my original and I left relevant facts out... I've got my own folder structure that works well - Its the folders that are installed by other programs - mostly games....... For instance - all the games that I install want to create their own folder in their - instead of under the "Saved Games" folder. So that's a dozen or so folders in addition to the structure I've created.

| | Re: "Documents" folder getting crowded Mark Sorry, I don't know how you can resolve this behavior unless those games have configuration settings that allow you to specify a folder where they save their information. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User "Mark" <me@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:9205ED0F-DF6E-419F-B5C1-E67B25C1FBCF@xxxxxx Quote: > > Sorry, this post was retyped from my original and I left relevant facts > out... > I've got my own folder structure that works well - Its the folders that > are > installed by other programs - mostly games....... > > For instance - all the games that I install want to create their own > folder > in their - instead of under the "Saved Games" folder.
