I do think the standard windows stuff is pretty good if you get used to all the shortcut keys and tricks etc.
I bet, but why do I have yo learn new stuff if I have fond memories and some skills from my DOS days?
It's just easier for me...
One problem that I had with windows with integrated explorer (Read - 98 and up) is that if the performance of the machine is slow, the folders are not opening up fast enough...
I don't like anything that takes more resuorces just to be pretty (We all can see that in Windows Media Player - install media player classic and be amazed at supersonic speeds!).
Now this problem is going away, just because now several gHz processors and gigabytes of ram are norm, but I still have my habbits from the old days...
