* Renamed the "Contents" box to "Index" because we already link to the "global"

contents.html on every page.
* Added an index box to Queries, Tracker, Email prefs, workshop and Deskbar. If
  anybody find another topic should get an index box, I'll add it.
* Little css tweak for the contents/index box.

<p>The Tracker is the graphical interface to all your files. It let's you create new files and folders or find, launch or rename as well as copy or delete existing ones.</p>
<p>Being an application like any other (the Desktop with its icons is really just a fullscreen window in the background), Tracker appears with its windows in the Deskbar and can be quit and restarted. The easiest way to quit and restart a crashed or frozen Tracker (or a wayward Deskbar) is to call the <a href="teammonitor.html">Team Monitor</a>.</p>

<a id="mounting-volumes" name="mounting-volumes">Mounting Volumes</a></h1>
<p>In order to access a harddisk, CD, USB stick etc., you first have to mount the volume, that is, let the system know it's there. This is done with a right-click on the Desktop or an already mounted volume (like the boot disk) and choosing the volume from the <span class="menu">Mount</span> submenu. You find the same <span class="menu">Mount</span> menu in the Deskbar.</p>
<img src="../images/tracker-images/mount-settings.png" alt="drill-down.png" width="581" height="290" />
<p>There are also <span class="menu">Mount Settings</span> so you don't have to mount everything manually after every bootup.<br />
The above settings will automatically mount any storage device you connect/insert and also mount all disks on bootup that were mounted previously.</p>
<div class="box-warning">Before you disconnect e.g. a harddrive or USB stick, make sure you have successfully unmounted the volume. This guarantees that all data transfer has finished. Otherwise you may lose data or corrupt the disk!</div>

<p>By default, when you double-click a folder, Tracker opens a new window while leaving the parent window open. This can quickly lead to an overcrowded desktop.<br />
You can prevent that by holding down the left <span class="key">WIN</span> key, which automatically closes the parent window.<br />

<p>In the above example, there are many files starting with "Haiku logo", rendering simpler approaches to typing ahead quite useless. In Haiku however, typing "web" jumps right to its first occurence in "Haiku logo - website". The characters you enter appear in the bottom left corner where you normally find the item count of all files in the folder. A second after entering a character, the display jumps back to normal and you're ready for a new type ahead search.</p>

<p>When you copy, move or delete files, Tracker shows its progress with a status window. If you initiate more than one transaction, each job gets its own status display.</p>
<img src="../images/tracker-images/transaction-status.png" alt="transaction-status.png" width="361" height="149" />
<p>To the right are two buttons to pause or stop a transaction entirely. Sometimes it can be useful to temporarily pause a large transaction. For example, you may need to quickly launch a large application. Copying large amounts of data chokes your harddisk's IO bandwidth and thus delays your workflow.</p>
