In XP, I can create a folder that shows me only files only (the right
hand pane of Windows Explorer) by just clicking the "X" in the upper
right of the folder pane (the left side of Windows Explorer).

In Vista, they've removed the "X" and replaced it with a type of
collapse / expand arrow that shows folders or 'favorites'. Is there
some way in Vista to remove that left pane completely?

Hi,

Organize/Layout/Navigation pane.
