Directory is the old term for folder. There's no difference. Microsoft changed it to make it more "user friendly" - the average person undersands the concept of "folders" better than they do "directories".
http://filext.com/info/showthread.php?t=34 Having been computing for quite some time, it took me awhile to get used to the new term and I can usually tell who are old-time computer users when they refer to the Legacy directory rather than Legacy folder!

While I believe they are not identical, in practice a "folder" IS a directory or a subdirectory. So I would be interested in knowing how you create folders that are not directories. -- Steve Hayes E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://methodius.blogspot.com Phone: 083-342-3563 or 012-333-6727 Enter the drawing for a FREE Legacy Cruise to Alaska or a FREE research trip to Salt Lake's Family History Library.
