   Brer Roy,   
      
   To me the Root Directory on my C: HDD  is C:\ .   
   Long time ago I read that DOS can only have 512 Entries put there.   
   So I never have tried to let anything be placed in the C:\ or D:\ etc.   
   directory unless I felt it was absolutly necessary that it be in there.   
      
   That's why I somewhat do as You do, but in a more limited way.   
      
   I look at a Sub-Directory as a box that I put everything in, and if I   
   ever want to go looking for something in the box, I go drag it out and   
   start rooting through it until I find what I was looking for.   
      
   So I go to a Sub-Sub-Directory(box) and using Windows Explorer (WE) and   
   by either clicking at the top of WE's window, the Name bar to look for   
   it by name OR I click the Date Modified bar to look for the file around   
   what I think was the Date I put it in there, I hope to find it there.

   XTree was memtioned to me IIRC by Holger some time ago.   
   IIRC I didn't want to pay to use it so I didn't grab it.   
      
   I'll add looking for ZTreeWin v1.41 on my ROUNDTUIT list to look it   
   over.   
      
   I have a prg called Freecommander already that probably will let   
   me look at the contents in all of the 3900+++ files in there.   
      
   I will take a look at FC and see if I can see inside all types of   
   files, because I like looking in things on my HDD to see if I might   
   learn (or stumble upon) something.   
      
   Thanks for giving me the thought to do it!
