I am trying to understand the hierarchy of Windows Explorer in Vista. What puzzles me is the top folder, Desktop. I can find no reference to it in the various books that I have read nor in Microsoft’s KB. Evry source discusses the Interface called the desktop and not the folder in Explorer.
More specifically, if I note that the GUI itself actually is the very top folder of the hierarchy, then why are the User Folders (the “owner’s folder”)and the Public Folder given such a high status in that hierarchy? Higher even than Computer.
Can anyone give me some insight or a reference to an article which explains this issue?
Thanks very much
