More than with the filing-cabinet/folder/file metaphor that Microsoft
wants us to use - how often do you find folders within folders within
folders in the real world? But then MS has always been a bit challenged
when it comes to designing useful file systems.


But if you have a lot of documentation the filling cabinet / draw it's self
might well become, in effect, a folder within a large much larger directory
(filing system) IYSWIM. So, yes, you can get folders within 'folders', it's
just that they don't look like folders - more like draws or complete
cabinets etc.

So you agree the metaphor doesn't work. ;^
