Hi, hope someone can render some help for me...
I have been trying methods, been to lots of web pages, test sorts of programs, but yet i haven't been able to find a solution for myself.
Here's my suitation ... (pls bear wif my poor language and long-winded-ness)
My desktop is clustered with lots of things
-Downloads, Files, Shortcuts
Ok, to clean up the unsightly mess, sort them and place them in folders
For example, i copy all shortcuts relating to music into the music folder,
internet programs into Internet, others are photo, utilities, documents....
ok, here's the problem, when i wanna open the shortcuts, i first open the folder, then i open the shortcut. simple huh... but i feel that there should be a more convenient way...
If any of you have use BeOS you know what i mean, you right-click on the folder, then you you can sort of view the directory tree, with its files and contents to be run or open...
So i go try out lots of things... programs, registry edits, so on.. but i still cant find something that hits my needs... i feel im wasting lots of time trying to do something that waste less time, so i just hoping someone who had the same situation wif me can help me in this...
the closest thing i come across is the internet explorer quick launch. Add the desktop, find that toolbar, and u can expand the desktop and its subdirectories and files, and access files easily ... another example i can think of is using ICQ... when u right click on a file or folder and u can send to anyone online.... therefore i believe that theres this something that will be working for my case...
some possible methods... 1. changing windows default shell... like geoshellx.. its seems unstable to me and needs me to adjust to a different environment... 2. Create a program ... Maybe... but dont think im good at that and have no idea to where i be starting... (delphi, visual c, basic? arr i know nuts about them..) 3. Registry? Yup i tried the guide in win guides to add a moveto and copy to, but i really dun know about doing those reg edits for this suitution... 4. surely somethings i missed out...
Yeh... sorry for this whole lots of messy typing and rushing... thanks in advance if you can find a solution to this, Thanks a lot...
