In vista they destroyed every logic behind the file tree structure...

The complaints from the users will come in like a wave of gigantic
purporttions if
you do not at least add an option to revert back the the familiar "tree" of
files and folders...

I was so fustrated with these changes that I had to add a third party file
manager
so I could find my way around!

"You" are not the typical user.

I have trained hundreds of people and I know what their reaction will
be to this change that really has no point.

I thought they wanted to make vista more userfriendly not frustrate
everyone.

I don't like it, makes it harder to find things and takes up lots of time,
what are they thinking, send everyone to school to learn how to do their
job, when they already know how with 2k and xp.
 
I've protesting for years against the GUI changes that cause the need to
re-train users. Fat good it's done...

Hmm.. having said that, I'm still one to not use it and just use either the
command shell, or manually typing in the address in the address bar...

I felt the same way for the first couple weeks. Now that I'm used to Vista I
hate going back to XP. I can get anywhere and everywhere with much less
effort in Vista. You just gotta keep at it till you get the hang of it.
 
That's what they say about crack and heroin...

Damn, a couple of days ago I wanted to perform a search on all EXE files. It
turned out that my computer has 65 EXE files in it. That's it, including
system folders, subfolders, AND hidden files.

Explorer's been significantly improved since build 5365, and it's still
faster than a fresh XP installation, at least here :)

wouldn't think of going back
 
I agree with you completely.
Earlier I tried to find the 'copy/move folder' option, but I couldn't find
any which was a bummer. So then I tried dragging to do it, but when I dragged
it over the folder list, they of course kept expanding and moving around and
it was impossible. So I had to do it by copying and pasting. The ease has
certainly gone out the window. My favorite all time way was before XP when I
could use the 'send to any folder' powertoy addon. At least XP does have the
'copy this folder' etc function. Vista's explorer has no easy-to-get-to
copy/move function. I want to be able to click a folder/file, then either be
able to click a 'copy this../move this..' option or have something in the
context menu and then be asked where to put it.
