Want Folders Not Libraries
I've been running XP Pro for a while with no issues but bought a new desktop and laptop a couple of months ago and so ended up with 7. For the most part it is fine. But one thing is driving me crazy and I don't know it is possible to go back to older style organization or not.
I had created a document with a recipe on it today and wanted to create a folder for recipes but this wasn't possible as I could see it so I had to create a library and then I still couldn't save the document in that folder until I added a folder to it. But I couldn't add a folder to it unless the folder already existed somewhere else and there wasn't a recipe folder yet. So I had to move another folder into the library then rename it in order to save the document in it. A lot of wasted time where in the past that would have all happened in a matter of seconds.
I don't know what advantage having Libraries offers but I see it as simply counter productive. I've read what Microsoft has to say about them but I really have no use for them and just want Folders to file things in.
Is there a way to get rid of Libraries completely and just have Folders in Windows 7.
If this has been addressed simply point me in the right direction.
