Vista - MS screwed up Windows Explorer pretty good in Vista

I liked Windows Explorer in XP because it worked. Now, basic functions
are hosed.

A few examples:
1) Copying fill from a CD to hard drive and there is the green bar
that shows progress (I guess) and is there long after the there is
activity from the CD ROM drive and the copy status window is gone.
What's up with that?
2) Try to rename a file and I get a Not Responding. I end up creating
a new folder and then copying the files in the old folder, and then
deleting the old folder.

There was another bug last week, and I sure there will be another one
tomorrow. I hope MS makes it a priority to fix Windows Explorer and
make it solid once again.

I have no problems renaming a file.
just have to give the UAC ok.

I shut off UAC a few weeks ago. This doesn't happen all the time, just
sometime.

Then by definiton you ARE having a problem. Go watch the hour long
movie where the two guys that developed UAC for Microsoft explain the
facts of life and are quite frank in their admissions on what UAC does
right and doesn't.

I don't have any problem with hotheads like you. I just spank you when
it is called for. Shape up and you'll avoid your next spanking.

I hate to tell you this.

XP hides folders by default too.

Then again I don't expect you to know anything.
