All I can tell you at this point is that "apply to all folders" doesn't work. Folders within My Docs are listed by name, so that worked. And files and sub-folders inside SOME of those folders are listed by name, but others aren't. I'm now experimenting.
March 20 update: If I go through an individually rearrange each folder, then the change sticks (and apparently only in the "details" view). However, "Save As" on web pages and text docs, the choice of folders is all mised up each time I try to save a document. Meaning, I can click "save as," arrange the folders so I can easily find the one I want, then save the doc. But when I save the next web page, the choices will all be messed up again. > --- In [email protected], "Rupert Bear" <rupert@> > wrote: > > > > Jim > > > > Interesting, I never access My Docs from the Desktop because I > don't like the > > icon cluttering up desktop.
