XYplorer is really an excellent substitute for Windows Explorer. I obtained it when my old faithful PowerDesk 6 which I used for years kept acting up in Vista. While I was (and am still) really pleased with XYplorer, Avanquest.com has finally updated PowerDesk 7 to Vista compatible. PowerDesk and XYplorer each have many features Windows Explorer lacks and some different from each other. You can't go wrong on either as a substitute, although my bias is toward PoweDesk I suppose because of my long famiiarity with it and a few of the features not found in XYplorer. There's a "free" version of PowerDesk that you can try.

Thank you for the reply. Since it took a few days for my Usenet post
to show up, I spent much more time investigating this Vista bug. It
seems that people call this malfunctioning Vista feature "folder
sniffing". With that search term, Google presented me with lots of
solutions on how to turn off this folder sniffing "feature".
The more that I find out about the Vista File Explorer, the more that
I'd like to simply replace it with a third-party file explorer product
-- one that, for example, would allow me to put a "Delete" icon onto
the toolbar, and one that would never ever show a less-than-useful,
space-consuming column like Ratings.
So I'm still digging...

Hello pilotplanes,
Method Two in this tutorial will reset the folder views to use the
"Details" view like you wanted.

Hope this helps,
