ABSTRACT:
Contextual desktop folders are provided in addition to a system desktop folder, thereby customized desktop folders (contextual desktop folders) are provided to a user. Thus, applications that have for example editing dialogs presented via a GUI interface, can have the dialogs customized for a computing environment providing dialog functions associated with predetermined applications. Preferably, a user or application selects files of a contextual desktop to present to the user of the application as “default” files, folders, shortcuts or applications.
