Agreed.
I sort of see why they do it, esp in the case of so-called system files
but I object to it also. It doesn't make sense to be calling apples
oranges though, no matter how I look at it. I suspsect in way too many
instance the code author was also the technical writer, and whoever had
to vet those had no idea what it was about anyway,

I normally use PowerDesk Pro which is very functional and useful; pretty
well integrated into several things including the context menues. Have
heard of Salamander but I'm quite happy with PD, but thanks. I have to
keep using Explorer now and then because I have to be able to see things
as others are going to see them; you can't depend on them having an
alternate file manager.
Evel looked at what happens if you have say three or four accounts
and check around for My Documents? I STILL have a My Documents that
shows alphabetically where TwaynesDocuments would be! So first I think
it's missing a lot of times, and then, "Oh! It's down there!" in
Explorer. PD shows it as it's actual name, in the right alphabetic
position, but not Explorer. It can get crazy. What really bugged me
is I knew about desktop.ini but it never occurred to me inthis last
instance. So much to remember sometimes.

Cheers,
