I am REALLY missing the Folder Tab (from XP) in Vista. I used that feature a
LOT. Now everytime I want to turn of/on the navigation window I have to go
to Organize - Layout - Navigation Pane.

It gets REALLY tideous especially when I do it a lot.

I am hoping there is some type of Shortcut key that will scroll through the
different Layouts? I have gone into the help menu and I can find one for the
different views (details, thumbnails, etc) but not for the layout.

I find it extremely odd that Microsoft would Design Office 2007 with a
wonderful set of tabs/toolbars to easily access everything instead of going
to the menus and then with Vista actually take AWAY the Toolbars.

Makes me wonder why they are making it more difficult to do things quickly
and easily. In Vista I have to say I click about 10x more than I do on my XP
machine to do the same tasks by the time you account for UAC, security
permissions, Layout etc.

Thanks

If you do not use the Favourite Links on the left you can drag up the Folder
bar from the bottom of the window. I usually keep it scrolled nearly all
the way up, with just three or four Favourite Links shortcuts at the top.
It stays persistent.

Yeah. It's prettier, but anybody that thinks it is as fast and ergonomic as
the old GUI is a fool.
