It is and it isn't the "File --> Open" dialog box, since you can open multiple files at the same time in Word and Excel. Just hold down the CTRL key and select more. However, you're right in that you can't open subfolders. The open dialog box looks for valid FILES to open and since folders can't actually be "opened" as such, it doesn't allow it.

It'd sure be nice if it could do that, though. You can copy and paste from Explorer, though, right? In other words, I can copy a folder named "MP3's" containing all my subfolders with the MP3's in them and then paste them into Emplode, right?

(How come the spell checker just told me that "It'd" is not a word? Last time I was in school, that was a valid contraction for "it would"... when did that change? )
