The more I use Vista the more I like it. MS has done A hella good job on
this. So this really is offered as constructive criticism. About the lack of
being able to configure the explorer toolbars the way the user (that would
be me, in this case) likes them. Especially for ie7. I am aware of the
command bar toggle and adding commands to it. and also the toggle of the
file menu. but this falls way too short. As it is, it takes up to much
precious screen realestate. Add another tool bar, it gets thicker yet. And
from what I have read, I'm not the only one that would love to have this
ability back. I'm thinking this functionality needs to be taken back out of
the scrap heap. and put to good use.
 
Bugged about the customization options available for the command bar, but it
kinda fell on dead ears. I personally would have appreciated having quick
access to commands such as Cut, Copy and Paste just to speed up simple task.
Hopefully this will be available in a future release.

Same here...I REALLY miss having cut and paste available on the
toolbar. I also liked having delete and properties up there for easy
single-click access. The default toolbars might be better for newbies
(don't know if that's true either), but that should not mean we all
have to suffer with default layouts.

Now we have less control over what's in the toolbar compared to XP,
and that is a big step backwards in my opinion.

And on a similar topic, Explorer looks at each folder once when first
started, then doesn't update the default toolbar layout after that.
What's the sense in having an adaptive toolbar if it has to be
customized manually for each folder if you change the contents? It
should update based on contents all the time.
