Guest Tecknomage Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 This is something that has bugged me for years. The File Types = File Folder & Folder (with the same icon) The only difference I can see is the command used: File Folder = find Folder = explore & open My question, WHY these 2 File Types with the same icon????

Because they are both folders? "File Folder" = physical folders (AKA "directories") on the disk. "Folder" = the above OR folder like objects such as "My Computer", etc. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Guest Bob I Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Re: File Types - File Folder vs Folder I believe he has it reversed. I have "CMD prompt here" available in the "Folder" but not "File Folder" only "find".

Used MS Power Toy installer in both cases. > > Tecknomage wrote: > > > On Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:39:20 -0400, "dadiOH" <dadiOH@invalid.com> > > wrote: > > > > > >>Tecknomage wrote: > >> > >>>This is something that has bugged me for years. > >>> > >>>The File Types = File Folder & Folder (with the same icon) > >>> > >>>The only difference I can see is the command used: > >>>File Folder = find > >>>Folder = explore & open > >>> > >>>My question, WHY these 2 File Types with the same icon???? > >> > >>Because they are both folders? > >> > >>"File Folder" = physical folders (AKA "directories") on the disk. > >> > >>"Folder" = the above OR folder like objects such as "My Computer", etc. > > > > > > > > Can anyone else verify "dadiOH's" reply? > > > > > > -- > > ======== Tecknomage ======== > > Computer Systems Specialist > > San Diego, CA -- ======== Tecknomage ======== Computer Systems Specialist San Diego, CA
