As I've said before, Win7 has its annoyances, especially for
those of us who spend a fair amount of time using Windows Explorer (or
I should say, trying to use it without the ever present "Access
Denied" and smoke and mirrors with junction points crapola).

I've seen you mention that before, but I spend much of my Windows 7 time
in Win Explorer and I never run into those problems.


You never run into "Access Denied" and the smoke and mirrors of junction
points?


The short answer is no, but the longer answer is that I vaguely remember
stumbling over "Documents and Settings" all those years ago, but I
quickly saw what that was about and it hasn't tripped me up since. I've
seen no other smoke or mirrors since then. Mind you, I work on data
drives primarily, rather than the OS drive.


And that's the difference, I think.

To be completely honest, I liked Win Explorer in XP better than in 7
because it was so much faster, but no functionality has been lost that I
can see. Plus, I really like the Libraries feature, but I'm in the
minority there.


Yup, never could get into the Libraries thing.
