    windows explorer anf default folder settings

    There are two things I really hate about Vista (lots of things
    but I can kill em)

    1- when I delete a folder in filemanager (windows explorer)
    it remains in the tree even after a refresh. I create files and folders
    as 50% of what I do on my machine and this is driving me nuts.
    How do I kill that function?



    2-I want the "Details" setting for the files and folders view settings.
    They are constantly resetting to "Tiles" or "Icons" and I want ALL
    files and folders to default to "Details" always!

    I've come close to tossing the thing out the window more than once!
    Can anyone out there suggest alternate software or registry changes or
    anything to kill these annoying features?
    HELP HELP HELP

    p.s. I've gone back to xp and tried several Linux flavours
    in the last 8 months and they can't do what I need to do
    so that's out
