Guest rabidfoxcontrol@hotmail.com Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 After an Internet download is complete a window pops up with "open", "open folder" and "save" options. If the download destination was the document folder or any other folder besides the desktop and the "open folder" option is selected the folder is opened and you can start to work. If the folder is the desktop folder then a message pops up telling you that the folder is the file is on desktop instead of opening the folder so you can view the contents of the desktop as a detail or thumbnail screen instead of as desktop icons. Just another example of Microsoft demanding that users do things Microsoft's way instead of doing things in the way things need to be done - another great reason why moving to Linux is becoming more attractive each and every day.

You write ". . . instead of doing things in the way things need to be done". Now which way would this be? Your way? The Linux way? Let's be realistic: There are always several ways of doing things and there is no "right way" or "wrong way". What you might ask for is more flexibility, which is what Firefox gives you, as suggested by Shenan Stanley.

Based off a decision you made to invest in a company you feel is doing shoddy work you cannot use Firefox? I am unsure which part of that makes less sense. ;-) -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Humm, you seem to be a bit less clueless than those you accuse of being incompetent. Maybe you should go back to contemplating your navel, and consider lint farming. >

Microsoft has groups devoted to studying work habits, they've run labs and surveys for ease of use. The company has even written books on GUI interfaces, the psychology behind them, and how users react. The techniques finally implemented are a distillation of experts who have devoted their professional lives to the study. After all this investigation, it came down to: "Since we can't please everybody, we'll just please ourselves." So, then, it's just something you'll have to get used to - much like the rotation direction on clocks or the location of the steering wheel on the majority of cars. Microsoft is the keeper of the standard...
