    Adding categories to my computer view


    I would like the view of my computer to include more information.

    Currently displays: Hard Drives, Devices with removable storage.

    I would like to add: Devices, Printers and faxes to this view.

    As in merging these two windows to be displayed as one (I don't mind if it has to be a new custom folder and not the actual "Computer view")

    You could use QTTabs. that way you'll have a tab of Devices and faxes.

    Thanks, I followed your link and installed, couldn't see a shortcut to the UI anywhere though. Didn't break my back trying to find it though as wasn't quite what I was looking for.

    Thanks Brink, that's close enough!

    And a whole new tutorial just for me?

    I was hoping the groups within devices and printers would be listed side-by-side with the devices in computer, as opposed to a shortcut to the devices and printers folder (there is one of these in the navigation pane anyway).

    +rep owed (this spreading around rule is proving unfair thus far)

    You're welcome Ryan.

    Yeah, that would be better. I haven't found a way to add them like that so far though.
