Talk:Special Folders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Virtual folders (as those mentioned in this article) are actually shell extensions, to provide explorer-like access to some non-file objects. Shouldn't this fact be mentioned somewhere? Also, I feel, the name Virtual Folders given to the section may cause confusion. It should better be clarified. --Soumyasch 07:03, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References mechanism is screwed up
The references mechanism is screwed up. There's a reference to "xplogo", but no corresponding note. The footnote numbers in the text don't correspond to the order of the notes below. Can someone sort this out? I got here as a "consumer" of this article, not as a Wikipedian (though I am one). Might be better to use cite.php, once someone can decipher the intent. - Jmabel | Talk 20:30, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
OK, I made the references work, although they could certainly be more elegant...Lisamh 02:44, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
ref sect doesn't show "wiki source code" (besides a couple tags) in wiki Edit mode. i only wanted to delete the duplicate li #5 which appears due of li #1 2z2z 21:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Explorer is pretty big
Keeping the visibly different components of Explorer on separate pages is probably a good idea. Considering that 90% of the visible Windows interface is Explorer, it would be pretty big on one page. A link to here from the main Windows Explorer page would be great though if there isn't one yet.

[edit] Recycle Bin
Recycle Bin is a special folder (real location %SystemRoot%\RECYCLED). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.226.81.123 (talk) 21:28, 28 April 2007 (UTC).
[edit] doc&settings/user/localsettings/temp
What is this folder anyway? I deleted its contents because one website said it was ok, and nothing bad has happened....why is it there in the first place, taking up 100's of megs? Mathwhiz90601 23:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] CLIDs
I've found the following list of CLIDs here. I can't think of a way of adding them without stuffing up the formatting of the current page.

[edit] List of File system directories
It seems to be screwed up. Windows 9x don't use C:\Documents and Settings\User\Folder. Just WinNT and up uses that. Rescbr (talk) 05:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
