Microsoft Is Trashing Windows Explorer

I suppose there are third-party file managers. I will be looking for one if and when forced to upgrade from XP. Having tried the Windows 7 beta, Windows Explorer (like MSN Messenger) is beginning to look like an ornament. Apparently the same goes for Vista.

When Folder View is enabled, clicking on the folder name does nothing. In Windows XP, you could click on the folder name to expand the folder and automatically close the previous folder at the same time. That was very useful to me. And then there is all the additional junk above the "computer" folder, as if Microsoft thinks "computer" is a bad word to be hidden away. And then there is the fact that font sizes and types
can no longer be adjusted (without screwing up other programs on your system).
