Summary	0002254: No Shortcut to 'My Desktop' in MediaMonkey
Description	MediaMonkey has no link in 'My Computer' or in various browser dialogs to My Desktop, forcing users to figure out how to browse to the desktop via C:/Documents and Settings/<UserName>/Desktop A possible way to implement this is to: -change 'My Computer' to 'Desktop' -have the following nodes sub to desktop: 'My Documents', 'My Computer', 'My Network Places' This would have to be done across all dialogs in which this is presented.
Additional Information	Tree on a Vista Machine: ------------------------ Desktop --<Owner> ----Contacts ----[Desktop] ----[Documents] ----[Downloads] ----[[Favorites]] ----Links ----[Music] ----[[Pictures]] ----Saved Games ----[[Videos]] --Public ----[Public Documents] ----[Public Downloads] ----[Public Music] ----[[Public Pictures]] ----[[Public Videos]] Computer --<Drives> Network --<Net locations> MediaMonkey (on Vista) ---------------------- My Computer --<Drives> --<Owner> ----Contacts ----Desktop ----Documents ----Downloads ----Favorites ----Links ----Music ----Pictures ----Saved Games ----Videos --Network Tree on an XP Machine: ---------------------- Desktop --My Documents ----My Downloads ----My Music ----My Pictures ----My Videos --My Computer --My Network Places ----Entire Network ------Microsoft Windows Network --------<Individual Networks> ------<Network Shortcuts> MediaMonkey on XP: ------------------ My Computer My Documents --My Downloads --My Music --My Pictures --My Videos Network --<Individual Networks>

jiri 2008-11-21 12:58 administrator ~0015053	Based on comparison of all the trees, I'd say that we could: On Vista: Add Public tree next to <Owner> tree in MM (i.e. at the same level in the tree). On XP: Add My Desktop next to My Documents. However, feel free to suggest other implementation, particularly if it simplifies the implementation in MM (i.e. works well in Location node, etc.).
