If I go into a folder, click new and then save the document SharePoint saves the document with the default content type on the library.

Content Type names are indexed so you can addContentType:FolderContentTypeName ValueTo the search string.I have done this in an Enterprise document library where there is a folder per customer.See http://www.wssdemo.com/Blog/archive/2007/12/22/Ian Morrishhttp://imorrish.myopenid.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2002996596449613715.post-88461209137417416692008-05-16T07:25:00.000-04:002008-05-16T07:25:00.000-04:002008-05-16T07:25:00.000-04:00Mike,I cannot agree more with you, and I am glad y...Mike,I cannot agree more with you, and I am glad you are bringing this up! This is exactly why I choose this title for the article and certainly the ending.

I've loved them before and in the scenario you're giving folders really are great. but... If you start trying to move folders around they suddenly become as evil as they were in 2003!
