  1. How should Windows 11 directories be used?


    Where can I learn about best practices for using Windows 11 ridiculous directory structure? I have to believe that the people who designed this fiasco had something in mind w.r.t. how it would be used. Can anyone at Microsoft explain what their thinking was? For example, there are at least five "Documents" folders, several "Pictures" and "Downloads" folders some of which appear at the same level under the same superior folder, at least three "personal" folders but with different names. There doesn't seem to be any logic to the layout or contents of any of the folders and the more I try

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
