Nice tip guys. Note that also you can just delete the desktop.ini and folder.htt
files*, and then Windows will treat the folder as a regular one.
In other words, this also gets rid of the "There is no need to modify the contents
of this folder" idiot messages.
BTW, folder.htt is a regular HTML file, consisting of several JScript functions,
and so you could edit it with notepad or whatever to change the idiot messages if
you felt that way inclined... Just open it, and search for the text of the message
you wish to replace.
* to be on the safe side, you may want to copy the files first, to a suitably named
directory (one called NotAllWindowsUsersAreCompleteMoronsThankyouGates should do
fine). However, I've now done this on both my win 2k and win98 machines, and it works
great. (The preview effecct might possibly be lost if you don't view folders "As
Web Page" by default, but it hasn't affected either of my machines)
