One thing that really ticked me off in Vista was the new and "improved" file explorer. Who the hell ever thought that was an improvment? They took a perfectly usable file explorer and ruined it.
Used to be that you could customize the icon menu up at the top with shortcuts. GONE! Do you think that they would have made a shortcut to create a New Folder? I guess it never occured to them. Of course, Windows XP never had that ability either but one of the first things I always installed was the BX New Folder addon that would add an icon on the toolbar and allow you to easily add folders. I have tried to install this on Vista but the icon does not show up anywhere. I guess since there is no place for it to show up. All this damned right click and choose options crap. Anyhow, if you install the BX New Folder, the option for adding a new folder is available by hitting the F-12 key.
There are some free Alternatives to the Vista Explorer. One that I would recommend is the FreeCommander. It has a lot of bells and whistles that you would have thought that Microsoft would have stolen like it has so many other programs and features.
Here are some features that I really like:
One Click folder creation
Quick access to all of your drives on a icon menu at the top.
Two windows for viewing files and folders
Able to set an option to view folder sizes. For crying out loud! Where was this in Vista or even XP? What vital knowledge and not available.
Click an icon and see your full computer network at a glance.
Create your own keyboard shortcuts for use within the FreeCommander program.
Many other features. See below.
