virtual folder vs menu - i really did look for this question

I think you may have your terminology confused (or I'm just not understanding). A menu is internal to TLB (meaning you can't access it from anywhere else) and can contain anything you put in it. A virtual folder is a TLB menu that mirrors the contents of a directory or other location on your computer. Any changes made to the virtual folder in TLB will be made to that location, and vice-versa. Both types of menus will have the arrow, allowing subdirectories to function as sub menus. If you create a shortcut to a folder, or left-click drag a folder from Explorer to TLB, you will get the folders that do not act like menus. The correct way to create these menus is to either right-click and select new-> menu (then create either type of menu), or right-click drag a folder from explorer and select "copy here". You can not use the first method inside a virtual folder, but the second works fine, creating the appropriate directories on your hard drive. I hope this information helps you. If not, please let us know.
