I'm trying to adjust to Vista and I've found WE to be weird and
confusing in Vista. The way the folders are displayed is confusing.

It doesn't even say "Windows Explorer" on the top or in the task bar.


Do you have any tips re getting Vista's WE to be more like XPs?

Umm.. use XP??

But seriously, its a learning curve, just like every other windows OS.
After awhile, you will get used to it.

You can make it look almost exactly like WinXP, if you so desire:

1) Organize > Layout > Menu Bar

2) Tools > Folder Options > View
