"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" |

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.

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" wrote in message ...

"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. "Mark" wrote in message ...

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" wrote in message ...
