Thanks for the very quick response!

That corrected the problem.  I didn't expect MS Word and PDF files to fall into the "binary" category.  (That's what I get for thinking <sigh>).

Limited Folder Depth in TreeView???

My apologies if this has been discussed previously, but I'm puzzled by behavior I'm seeing while traversing the tree pane. In Tree pane, I see this folder with no (+) beside it indicating there are no subfolders present (partially sanitized names): C:\Documents and Settings\j--------\My Documents\zz...
