Windows 7 - Hidden Tool
pyrohacker:
I dunno if I'm just slow, or if I've discovered a secret gem that the Devs at Microsoft threw in for fun (the first seems more likely), but I just noticed a few days ago that Windows 7 has a nifty tool for viewing folders - I'd call it something like inline filtering.
On the bars above a file list, there are the regular options to enable you to sort the items you're viewing, but up 'till now I didn't notice the arrows on the right. These bring forth pop-up boxes to enable you to quickly filter the files by the same categories you can sort them by.
Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Laugh at me, please, if this has been around since Vista. :'(
If this feature existed during the days of XP, I'll beat myself with a fish. :trout:
Tuxman:
Hmm, Windows is great, so much undocumented stuff left to discover. :-*
Josh:
This feature has existed since Win2k. Not to make you feel bad...
SpoilerJUST KIDDING! It's new to Vista/7 :)
Curt:
