Ok, so I'm at work today using my POS Dell Windows 2000 box. I have a group of documents that will be used for field work, but not every document will be used for every field event, it will vary depending on the configuration of the field site.

So I select the ones that I will need for an upcoming trip to site and find that there is not a way, at least in Win 2000, for me to color code the group that I need to make them easy to find when I need them.

Why?

I happen to love this feature on the Mac, I was just surprised that Win 200 can't do it, or can it?

i'm pretty sure it can't.

though what you could do is create folders for each different site and create shortcuts to the sets you need, while keeping all the originals in their places.

Windows 200 must really suck. ;)
