When the IT folk aren't looking, I unplug my ThinkPad from the network and
plug in my trusty G3 PowerBook (I've already been 'spoken to' twice, and
told that this is career limiting - oh and you can guess by my email address
and the automatic signature the powers that be add to any email passing
through our email gateway)

My client files (Word, Excel) are stored in a folder, shall we call it
"Group_Clients". Within this folder, there are two folders: (on the NT
server - I access via DAVE, not SFM)

1. called DesktopFolderDB
2. called Clients

When I open the clients, there are 26 folders, neatly labelled with the
letters A - Z (So if Dan was a Client, his work might be stored in "D")

However, on the Mac side (not Win95) when I open the clients folder, instead
of seeing the closed folders A through Z (that's Zed, not Zee - I'm
Australian), I see closed folders A to B, and D to Z whilst folder C is
open. I toggle the little triangle (does it have a name?) to close the C
folder so just A to Z is showing. Then, if I close the Clients window and
open it back up, the C folder is still open.

Very painful. Any ideas how to fix it?

Any ideas what the DesktopFolderDB does and why it is there, and why I can't
delete it.

Thanks
Hamish Blair
