A folder containing lots of disordered files can be intimidating. Fortunately, Windows XP provides a way to calm such chaos. Click on the View menu at the top of the folder and experiment with the options. Each option lets you view the contents of a folder with a varying degree of detail and ordering. Also, for folders with lots of different types offile mixed together, try the' Arrange Icons by' option on the View menu. Sort by Type and this action will neatly order files of the same sort next to each other in the folder. Windows Vista includes even more ways to view the contents of each folder: use the Views menu, or press the Alt key to display a standard View menu with many more options.
