I've used various Pocket PCs since spring of 2000, and by summer of that year I'd abandoned the list views of Pocket Word and other Microsoft apps. Nearly useless.

Instead, I sort by gross subject into subfolders in My Documents - whether in main memory or in a card - then refined subject into subfolders of those dozen or so folders, then subfolders of those... I guess maybe JDH means something like this? Using a proper file explorer, with a split-screen view of folders above and contained files below makes browsing/searching for documents easy. TotalCommanderCE or FtpView are both excellent, and of course there's the very capable Resco. I use all those, prefering some over others for different job types. TotalCommander has the most efficient Find function of all I've tested. There are lots of other file explorers, and you'll find a lot of people advocating every one of them. Whichever you like, it'll be better than Microsoft's. Odd, considering that the Explorer thing on my PC (Win98SE) isn't too bad at all.
