Meta Folders are short names for special
folders used by Windows, e.g. the My Documents meta folder
represents the actual path to the folder Windows uses to store your
documents, typically something like:
"C:\Documents and Settings\FileBoss\My Documents".
Meta folders are enclosed in angle brackets
and can be used like a normal path, e.g. <My Documents>\Letters.
Bookmarks as meta-folders
Bookmarks are also treated as Meta Folders by FileBoss so you can
insert a bookmark name in the angle brackets to specify the full
path of the bookmark.
Enter any bookmark to go directly to that
folder. Bookmarks must be enclosed in angle brackets, e.g. <Pictures
of Mom>.
Meta Folder Names
The following is a sample list of Meta Folders that FileBoss
recognizes along with their short abbreviations.
To
use a meta folder simply enclose its name or abbreviation between
angle brackets, e.g. <Windows> or <W>.
You can also add on to Meta Folders such as
<Windows>\system32
will display the system32 folder under your Windows
folder.
For those familiar with Windows conventions you can also enclose
meta-folders within percent signs, e.g. %desktop%.
