Magic ALT Key
This may be obvious to some people, but it wasn't to me. Windows explorer has a great interface and puts many often used features along the top of the screen. I really do like it. I do miss the typical File menu that was in ALL previous versions of Windows.
The following screen shot shows a typical explorer window.
In order to get the old File/Edit/View.. Menu, just press the ALT key. The menu you know and love will appear.
In order to make this the default, Select Tools from the menu, Folder Options, View Tab. You'll see a screen like this:
Check off "Always Show Menus" and Apply/Ok. File/Edit/.. will now appear on all explorer menus. I guess once you get used to the new interface, you can turn this off eventually, but in the transistion from XP to Vista, I'll keep the menu around for a while.
