The only thing that annoys the shit out of me in explorer is the bug that doesn't keep windows view settings the same after you reload explorer. Let's say you have a folder you visit often, and you've set the top row to the attributes you like...date modified, size, type, etc. When you come back to that folder again, it'll be changed to some random mp3 related bullshit, like rating, genre, etc. Fucking annoying, but not a deal breaker.

You can set the view to thumbnails by right clicking in the white area.

I would highly recommend turning off UAC(User Account Control) which tries to throw up security roadblocks for every little thing you do. Just google "UAC vista turn off" and you'll get instructions.

Also, turn off Aero. It increases your performance, and causes less glitches with certain software.

Other than that its been great, and I don't see why all the haters.
