>I think you've got it. I mean that if you've got 500 documents,

>there's only a 100 being displayed at any one time. This of course 
>affects icon preview mode only. List view is always rocket fast.

>I do this with my applications folder too, which seems to be the

>I've created folders like:

>-Games (WoW, Diablo II etc.)
>-Internet (Firefox, Unison, Transmit, Skype, Acquisition etc.)
>-Graphics (PSE, GraphicConverter, Omnigraffle etc.)
>-Media  (Real, SWF Player, VLC, DivX etc.)

I assume you mean you put in folders only NON Apple Apps because I 
gather you shouldn't move around Apple Apps that are installed in the 
Apps folder, but others can be moved???  If I could do that I'd do it 
gladly
