Directory Opus:

The scale of customization is unbelievable!!
probably the best windows file manager ever!
(bought and using it since I got Vista)

Windows Vista Windows Explorer Toolbar has almost no buttons!!
Gone are the Windows Explorer Toolbar buttons that we take for granted in Windows XP!!
(properties, delete, cut, copy, paste, undo, refresh etc.)
Those buttons made file management so much easier..
Maybe Microsoft decided like this to keep Windows Explorer design minimal
or imitate Mac OSX finder. Don't know..

Another worth noting is the free UltraExplorer

" it contains new ways of working with your files. The first and most noticeable is the Columns View.
This view is a flat view of your files and folder aligned in a linear fashion across the windows.
This is similar to the way many Mac file managers have been designed for a long time."

Hi All,

I have tried. Really, I have tried to like the file
manager that comes with Vista. It drivers me nuts.
I like XP's, I like A43, I like KUbuntu's Dolphin,
I like XFce's Thunar, even though it crashes constantly.
(Okay, Apple's file manager is annoying.)

I just don't like Vista's. Are there any alternates
out there that you would recommend?

Many thanks,
--T
