This is fine for someone like myself that particularly cares about such things however from an organizational or process management stand point - at times the need may exist to force this setting based on a specific document library. SharePoint 2007 allows this to be configured under the Advanced...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/05/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_10.html The Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - Disable Folders in a Document Library- May 11, 2006 Sometimes in a document library you may not want users to have the ability to use folders.

If you were using an events list, the user could see the event title and location. If you were...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/05/the_beauty_of_sharepoint_2007_7.html Xbox.com New Features : Message Center- May 5, 2006 A few weeks ago there was an update to Xbox Live and xbox.com that allowed you to add friends online via the xbox.com website. This was an awesome addition since many times when I am talking to people online they will tell me their gamertag and but by the time I log into my Xbox 360 - the information has long left my little brain. Now if I am chatting with someone I can jump right into my Xbox profile and add them. What is even better now is the upgrade that took place earlier this week...http://blog.funknstyle.com/2006/05/xboxcom_new_features.html SharePoint 2007: WSS v3 and ASP.NET 2.0- May 3, 2006 Maurice Prather has a nice post outlining some of the great improvements we will see in WSS v3 because it has been BUILT on ASP.NET 2.0.
