Vista - Anyone developing a better, less buggy Windows Explorer for Vista?

The bugs in Window Explorer are really getting to me. Is there a
better alternative program out there or is anyone developing one for
Vista?

I think Windows Explorer in XP had major bugs as well initially but
you would think they have had enough time to get a file management
tool perfected.

I have not been able to understand (since Windows 95) why people struggle
with explorer.

There are many actual file manager programs available. Total Commander (free
with nag ware) will do most anything that you may ever want to accomplish
with your drives, and then some. I purchased it 8 years ago and have gotten
about 25 updates since then. I have been using it for 8 years now.

Prior to that I used XTree Gold, based upon DOS (in Windows 95).

There were several good alternates that ran fine in XP, haven't looked
for one that runs in Vista. Probably will be a crop pretty soon.

you haven't been able to understand? then go download the x64 bit version. what, it's not there? well, maybe now you understand.

Also, @people, try to understand that there is a difference between a programme and a system component! A programme can never be as
fast or reliable as a component fully integrated into the system. Compare KDE on linux with WinExplorer and you'll see what I mean.

The only thing vista explorer needs is a phucking "up" button. why isn't anybody coding one, for god's sake?!

It's got the breadcrumb trail instead, which does the same thing, and more.

That's interesting, I haven't noticed any bugs. Could you give a couple of
examples?

Total Commander is the "Swiss Army Knife" of Windows utilities with some
good plugins & addons.

It's the first thing I load on every computer I work on.

For example it quite often does not show files in a folder, even if you
click refresh. You need to be able to trust what is being displayed.

Oh and by the way, it will work with Vista he he he
Sorry to hear your troubles man, I have not worked with x64 yet.
Maybe I will release a 'phucking' up button for all the Vista users with
trouble, and we can see how many times it gets pressed
