16 - The Accessories folder - Background Information
Click here for main text
Since the 'Accessories' folder is a normal OS/2 folder, objects may be added to it at will. Of course, objects may also be moved or copied from it to other preferred locations.
Like the program objects in the main folder, the objects in the 'Accessories' folder are shadows; the originals are kept in the 'Objects' subfolder of the RexxMail program folder, where they are safe from accidental deletion.
The User Folders Utility can be used to do the following:
-
Lock/unlock the user folders. Locking the folders will prevent accidental deletion of the folders through the WPS, and will prevent the user from dropping objects on certain folders. In addition, the settings notebooks of the user folders can no longer be accessed through the folders' pop-up menus.
-
Make certain user folder visible/invisible. By default, all the folder objects in the main folder are invisible, with the exception of the 'Accessories' folder object. If you prefer to see all the folder objects in the main folder, you can do so with the User Folders Utility.
-
Set the background of the user folders. By default, the user folders use a single RexxMail background bitmap (many thanks go to Luc van Bogaert for creating and donating the RexxMail background bitmap). The User Folders Utility can be used to change the background to a tiled version of the RexxMail background bitmap, or to set the background to the system default.
