Change the name of the program to represent the number of extra folders you
want - e.g FOLDR100.PRG gives you 100 extra folders. Now put this into your
AUTO folder and boot. As I recall, FOLDERXXX.PRG should be the first AUTP
program run, but should follow FATSPEED if you use that.

How many extra folders? The rule of thumb I've heard is to set it equal to
the number of folders on you disc drive. I think this is for the absolute
worst case of accessing all the folders at once which may never happen (a
disk catalog or search program probably will do this).
