Thank you, Don! This is indeed very useful! And I'd never seen this in any Tips or Tricks publications.

Further to Mark's suggestions,  here's something you might find even more 
useful:

Drag any folder shortcut on your desktop right off the left or right side 
of the screen.  The shortcut will disappear, and be replaced by a "toolbar" 
running along that edge of the screen.  That toolbar will show the contents 
of the folder and any subfolders.  If you right click on the new toolbar 
and tick "autohide",  the toolbar will disappear from your desktop until 
you move the mouse cursor to that side of the screen, when it will pop into 
view.  You can resize the width of the toolbar by dragging its side.

If you don't like it, right click on an empty space on the toolbar and 
select "close toolbar".  The original shortcut should then re-appear on the 
desktop again.

I find a toolbar to the "My Computer" folder placed on the left of my 
screen in this way is very handy for quick one-click access to all drives 
and Control Panel.
