I have to work with a lot of files on network drives. There are kind of "project directories" which are always organized in the same structure with sub-directories which are again divided in sub-directories.
Very often, those subdirectories are empty and it is quite frustrating and time consuming to open a sub-directory in Windows Explorer only to find that it is in fact empty.
Is there a way to avoid that? I could imagine having a separate Icon for empty folders which would show me directly that is makes no sense to open that folder. However, I am not the "owner" of those directories, so this should be a modification only done on my computer and should not necessarily effect other users.
@Oliver Salzburg: why did you remove the Windows 7 from the question? Isn't it important to say, which client is used or shall such information be explicitely not given in the text but only in tags? – MostlyHarmless – 2013-04-11T10:32:09.597
2The tag has Windows 7 which identifies the platform. This seems to be preferred over having it in the title. – Brad Patton – 2013-04-11T10:53:46.777
1@Martin: As Brad pointed out, tagging a question is sufficient to indicate which operating system you are referring to. Repeating the information in the question title and body is redundant and just distracts from your actual problem :) – Der Hochstapler – 2013-04-11T11:10:47.880
