windows explorer debacle

Well you've done it again, not only is IE7 full of junk you don't need and slows your comp down at every turn but you've made it tons harder to get to our files. I don't want to goto "My Documents" or "User Name" I want the dang thing to open to C:\ showing my tree and everything that goes along with it. Don't make me click 4 or 5 times just to get where I want to be. That ignorant Links window is nothing but a user of space, show the tree and it's not needed at all, you'll see those same folders. All this BS hipe about how this is to make things better, give you more viewable pages, well boys it does just the opposite, it takes up room in my app for no reason, I cannot eliminate it and recover the wasted space used by tabs or windows explorer link window. You are never going to convince me that arranging the toolbars so there's only one single line including the address bar uses more space than that stupid firefox clone you've put out. sure there's alot of folks who shouldn't even go into windows explorer but some of us know what the heck were doing (well most of the time) and we don't need MS holding our hands telling us what we can and cannot see on our own computer. If you're going to clone crap like firefox, Linux and MacOSX then perhaps I should just go buy those and cut out the middle man. After seeing and using this latest example of Microsoft's best I know why Bill is leaving :) I would run too.

Change to 'classic' view then edit the shortcut's 'Target' to read;
%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\
