No. While it covers up the my documents stuff, it does not
change the folders options below. I still have to expand the
computer and then expand the drive below it to see the whole
directory tree including the hang-on usb drives and the
attached dvd drives. Thanks for the suggestion.

In the XP NG "Powerdesk"
http://shareware.avanquestusa.com/Po...esk6013_US.exe
was suggested and this works in XP. I have not tried it yet
in Vista. This is an older free version.

PowerDesk : There is a Vista version which works fine with one caveat:
If you have Norton 360 installed it causes the right-click context menu of
PowerDesk to freeze and exit the program. Avantquest has a "fix" for this in
their FAQs which didn't work for me. It was either lose Norton 360 or
PowerDesk -- I chose to keep PowerDesk.

Simple way is to click on Organize in the menu bar; then click on Layout in
the drop-down, then Navigation Pane. Will only show Drives.

In Windows explorer(file manager)left pane (the directory tree) All I want
is....
for the left pane/window to show the contents of the C:\drive and what
hangs below it, such as the existence of all the subdirectories and D;\,
e;\ etc.
I do not want to see the useless "My Documents," "printers," "unused
desktop shortcuts," etc. and the rest of these irrelevant sub-directories
(folders). I do want to immediately see when I invoke the file manager the
main sub-directories including "program files," "windows," and all other
c:\etc.
Additionally, when I expand my network connections, there are a myriad of
listings/paths. These are historical since most of the time, the other
computers are off line. I want Windows to stop building up this list. I am
quite content to use (Lan)\entire network\MS Windows Network. How do I get
XP to give me what I want in file manager? Thank you.

FYI: The next version (v7.90) of XYplorer File Manager will have something
called "Mini Tree" which is pretty much exactly what you want. Should be out
within the next 2 weeks.

Right now, I am using an older version of Powerdesk (6.01)
which works in XP. Don't know about Vista. I'll look into
XYplorer,

The "Mini Tree" is a BETA feature that's currently progressing daily. It's
already in a state that should fulfill your wildest dreams about a fully
user controlled tree layout. If you're curious enough you can download and
test the BETA version from XYplorer's user forum.

Don

Don, do you know if XYplorer File Manager will show an
*unsorted* view of files on Vista? Is that even possible
with NTSF?

I'd like to see my files in the order a DOS dir command
would display - so that the last file placed on the hard
drive (or other storage device) will appear at the
bottom of the list.

Sorry Dr. Dos, don't mean to hijack your thread but
maybe the feature I want is something you too
wondered about.

Instead of hijacking, start a new one.

Folks may have moved on from this one by now and are not reading it.

XYplorer can indeed show an "unsorted" view of files, but AFAIK under NTFS
that is always equivalent to alphabetically ascending. I have seen the order
you mentioned (by creation date) only under FAT.
