what is the benefit of "categories"?

[jkmarz]

Hi guys,

I'm new here; couldn't find this addressed on the board, on MSFT's site, or in my Sharepoint Resource Kit.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF USING CATEGORIES?

Since I can't seem to create folders within categories (can this be done, or is it just me?), I end up with a million disorganized files within a category. Just using plain old "folders" seems like a better way to logically organize things. So, I'm stymied: what good are categories?

Thanks!
Jessica

Then you can create diffrent Views that filter on each catagorie. But i like folders too.
