Filters don't seem to work on special folders (e.g. Desktop)

The Filters, and Content Type, don't work on any of my special folders (e.g. Desktop, My Documents etc).

When I use a filter or change the Content Type, all files stay displayed.
When I do the same in a 'normal' folder, it works perfectly.

Am I doing something wrong??

They should work in My Documents as that is a real directory.

They won't work in virtual folders like My Computer and Desktop because they are handled by Explorer.

For the desktop, you can go to /desktopdir instead where they will work. /desktopdir is an alias that takes you to the real folder that contains your personal desktop files.

You are right.. Thanks

It does work in the My Documents folder. I assumed it didn't (stupid I know). The Desktop didn't work, but when I use your method, it does! :smiley:
