I guess my real problem is that I still remember MS-DOS and XTree, where you started with a drive, then a subdirectory tree under each drive. It was so easy that even I could understand it.
Now, with Windows, the default for "My Documents," My Pictures," "My Downloads," and a couple of other "Mys" is folders that are buried somewhere deep in Windows but which appear at the top of the Windows Explorer directory tree. I don't use those -- at least in part because I've found that sneaky and/or downright malicious programs use those default directories to deposit files I'd rather not deal with.
So I create my own "My Documents and "My Downloads" (etc.) folders directly under the root directory and ALL my documents, downloads, photos, etc. go into my own folders. With Windows Explorer in Win7 even more than in Xp, getting to my folders (which should be directly under the C:\ root directory) requires much scrolling and searching, because Windows does such a great job of hiding the fact that there actually IS a C:\ drive on the computer.
I want a directory tree utility that will ignore all the phantom directories that Windows creates, and just lets me work directly off a true directory tree of the drive -- like the much lamented XTree of days gone by.
