I have mostly stuck with Win98se until now but I have one system running Win XP and I am having to deal with it in spite of my dislike of many of its features.
One thing I absolutely *hate* about Explorer in WinXP is how it presents the tree in the left panel. There I can see folders which are not really there but are actually shortcuts. For example, directly under the desktop I see "my documents" and a bunch of folders under that when in reality that folder is in disk C. Directly under "My PC" I also see a bunch of folders which are in reality buried in disk C. If I access the XP computer from the network I see a bunch of folders which are also buried deeper in disk C.
I *hate* this. It just confuses the reality of where folders really are. I want to see them where they really are and I do not want to see virtual shortcuts all over the place.
Is there any way to have Windows Explorer show the actual tree structure like it does in win9X? No virtual folders or shortcuts, just the real things.
