"Another" non-sequitur ad hominem attempt at an insult? Perhaps you'd like to point out the previous one? And yes - if you know of any Microsoft explanation, I would like to read it.

In the folder view, using the down/up arrow keys to select a folder no longer shows its contents in the right-hand pane. In Windows XP, I regularly use the up/down arrow keys to view the contents of several folders in a row. Also, clicking on the folder name no longer expands the folder in the right-hand pane, you have to aim for the small plus sign to the left of the folder name. That would be no problem if Microsoft at least provided options for those of us who make use of those functions. Lastly, I like the idea of the new path bar, but the folder view is still necessary for clicking and dragging files around, so the path bar seems useless. If I wanted to move, I would probably check to see if the old Windows Explorer works in Windows 7. |
