The odd thing is that I grew up with folder heirarchies in DOS and am quite happy with them.

Until I get onto a default Windows install, where all the hints about where you are in the folder tree are hidden by default. Then I get easily lost.

c:\users\myname\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\ - fine.

outlook - well that could be anywhere.

It's no wonder to me that people are lost by default when a modern system goes out of its way to not provide any hints or landmarks to tell you where you (and your files) are. It's bizarre.
