Is there a way in Vista to see the cut, copy & paste icons that used
to be visible in Explorer under Windows XP?

the file/locate and press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-V accordingly.

The WE
toolbar is one of many long-time features removed in Vista that forces
us to change the way we work without it really being "better". I like
Vista overall but the new Windows Explorer really *sucks*.

Thanks for the enlightenment.
You know, even with 8+ years of using WinXP almost everyday, I had never
even noticed those icons (well, except for the Red X for "delete") until
you mentioned it, and I booted up a WinXP virtual machine to double-check.
Odd.
As to your being considered "obviously wrong" for using that tool-bar, I
can't speak. I do see, however, that using said tool-bar would require
additional mouse clicks, and therefore be less efficient. Perhaps that's
why it was dropped.
I'd have to respectfully disagree with this assessment, I'm afraid. With
the exception of that toolbar, the changes from WinXP's Explorer to
Vista's Explorer are almost entirely cosmetic. I do find that Vista's
"bread crumb" path address bar is a by far superior navigation tool, once
one gets used to it, when compared to WinXP's more cumbersome "Back" and
"Up" buttons.

For my part I'm happy that "Windows Explorer really *sucks*"...
