Good morning all! A small and easy question for this Sunday morning: In my W2K Pro I keep a Windows Explorer icon on the desktop, and I like to save it in expanded form, with all folders showing in the left panel and all file details in the right. So that I can get right to where I'm going. But I can't for the life of me get W2K to do that. In other words, the Folder Options-View-Like Current Folder choice doesn't seem to take. Each time I click on the Windows Explorer icon I get the whole file system completely collapsed under Desktop, with My Documents selected. And by the way I never even use My Documents. Can't stand it. But I can't seem to delete it. To digress for a brief rant, for some reason I've always been offended by MS's My This and That labels. It all seems so dumbed down and condescending: My Computer, My Documents, My Little Pony. Seems somehow like the revenge of the nerds, but at the expense of the rest of the nerds. Or "brains," as we/they used to be called. (Why, when I was a boy life was still so primitive we didn't even have nerds.) There, I feel much better now. Any thoughts or advice? Or comments on MS's My Little Cutesy Thing philosophy? Go to it, my friends. This group has never let me down yet.
