Anyone out there.

My puter died.

I had to buy a new one.

I made the switch to a MAC Book Pro 17" Laptop.

It is a difficult transition after so many years, greater than 10, on a windows based platform.

My biggest problem right now is figuring out how to visualize my Word and Excel files in a format similar to the windows view. Right now all I have figured out is viewing them in some type of rudimentary tree list that looks like DOS from the 1980's.

I have this Microsoft Document Connection, but I don't know what it does yet or how it may help me.

I need to be able to view all my files in a format similar to Windows Explorer mode in an organized manner.

And in iPhoto, how can I organize my "events" into sub folders so every time I open the program you can't see all the pics, like the ones I don't want someone to see who happens to be looking over your shoulder at the time, see? I need to hide some folders within folders and it does not seem like there is a way to do that. All the picture folders are seen all the time.

Any MAC heads out there that can help it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
