System folder

A system folder is a special folder in your inventory which has several unique attributes:

• System folders can't be moved. They always reside in the top-level of your inventory (shown in the My Inventory tab of the My Inventory sidebar). You can't delete them.
• System folders can't be modified. You can't rename or edit any other properties. Like regular folders, you can put items inside of them.
• Creating inventory items can automatically sort them into an appropriate system folder. For example, in the My Inventory sidebar, if you choose Create > New Notecard menu, the notecard appears in the Notecards system folder.
• System folders appear on top of all other folders, with one exception. In the My Inventory sidebar, you can uncheck Sort > System Folders To Top menu, which lets other top-level folders you've created get mixed in by sort order.

In addition:

• The Lost And Found and Trash folders are specifically for stuff you might throw away. You can right-click either folder and choose Empty Lost And Found or Empty Trash, respectively, to permanently delete everything inside the folder.
  • Lost And Found contains items that have been returned to you — for example, if you left a car on a parcel with autoreturn on and it got sent back — so you may want to sort it out first.
• The Current Outfit and My Outfits folders are specifically about your avatar's appearance.
  • Current Outfit has links to everything you're wearing, and actually shows the same stuff as My Appearance - Wearing.
  • My Outfits contains individual folders, each one of them with a coat hanger icon ( ) and usually containing a complete avatar look. My Outfits' folders can contain original items if you intentionally moved them in here, but generally, they'll contain links.

In earlier Viewer versions, system folders had special icons. Now, with the exception of individual outfit folders, they don't.
