That drives me crazy. For me that's a classic example of
why I avoid moving to Win7 for most things. They just keep
adding more training wheels. It takes more and more work to
remove those training wheels. And in some cases it's just
not doable. The result is interrupted productivity, like
trying to make coffee while wearing a helmet and fireproof
gloves.


I know what you mean, and agree in most cases (I turn a lot of them off
where I can); however, I thought the
rename-not-highlighting-the-extension-by-default was actually a _good_
one. When changing the name of a file, I rarely want to change the
extension, and had previously found (and still find of course, as my
main machine is XP) it tedious having to either retype the extension or
move the cursor first.
