Browse by content type?

I was using Taxonomy to organize content into sections, but then I realized the content types of each section were unique (with different fields needed for each in CCK). So, if there is a way to browse by content type then that Taxonomy vocabulary is unnecessary in my case. But is there a way to browse by content type?

That along with hiding the input selector with css so no one changes those terms solved my problem.

Thanks for the suggestions

If you prefer

If you prefer taxonomy_defaults, another way to hide the input selector is to edit your vocabulary and disable your content types. The taxonomy_defaults module won't care.

ah that's much cleaner. thank
