Part 10: Windows XP vs. Vista: Folder Options and Index Options

014: Folder Options and Index Options
With the new Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Aero design theme you can clearly see Microsoft trying their best to pirate Apple’s look and theme-like iTunes. Like for instance in iTunes you have your playlists on the left column and assortments of different types of views similar to Vista’s display where you have Documents, Pictures and Music at the left column. Besides the theme, the Folder Options are very similar to XP but surely the look and feel of viewing files and folders are not. Vista incorporates the some of the features of Index Searching now called “Index Options” within the Folder Options than the Computer Management – Indexing Searching Service in XP. Of course there are a ton of other features which I could go on forever listing the details about the changes in regards. These search options in Vista sets the common defaults for the Search feature when finding files and folders on your computer.
