Understanding Desktop Manager Folders
The Desktop Manager stores and organises your documents in folders. Only one
folder can be open at a time. When you open another folder, the current folder
automatically closes.
A folder can contain only documents, not other folders. Therefore, the folders list
displays only a single level of folders.
As mentioned earlier, there are two types of folders – system-defined and user-
defined – as described in more detail in the following sections.
System-Defined Folders
When you install the Desktop Manager, system-defined folders are automatically
available. The folder icon displays the current state of the folder as either open or
closed.
The system-defined folders are reserved for use by the Desktop Manager, in the
following ways.

Using the Desktop Manager
Dragging a document to the action button.
For example, you can drag a document from a folder to the Print button,
thereby printing the document.
If a document is dragged to a button that cannot perform the task, the
mouse pointer displays as a no-entry icon (a circle with a diagonal bar
drawn through it).
Clicking a document in a folder and then clicking the button.
This method activates the command for the selected document, as though
the document had been dragged to the button.
Status Bar
The status bar displays information about the selected document or folder, or
a description of the currently selected menu command. The information is for
display only, and cannot be edited.
