"desktop" icon in folder list
When I open my list of folders in Word2000 (the general "my documents" view),
at the very end of all the folders that actually contain my work there appears an icon that looks like a notepad with the word "desktop" next to it. The view always starts there, so I always have to move the sliding bar to the left in order to get back to where my actual folders are. That extra step is a pointless nuisance, and after dealing with it for a few months I decided to ask here how to get rid of that "desktop" item. I have of course tried deleting it, but it always reappears. THANK YOU!!!! DJ |

Hi ?B?REo5?=,
When I open my list of folders in Word2000 (the general "my documents" view), at the very end of all the folders that actually contain my work there appears an icon that looks like a notepad with the word "desktop" next to it. The view always starts there, so I always have to move the sliding bar to the left in order to get back to where my actual folders are. That extra step is a pointless nuisance, and after dealing with it for a few months I decided to ask here how to get rid of that "desktop" item. I have of course tried deleting it, but it always reappears. I take it you've set up your Windows configuration to NOT show file extensions?, but to display hidden files? I think what you're seeing is actually Desktop.ini. This contains information for desktop configuration (you can view it in Notepad). I don't know the details; you'd have to ask about that in a WINDOWS newsgroup.
