Not sure if it's just me that HATES the new way Explorer works in Vista.
I even disliked XP's dumbed down approach. Is there a way to get the
classic Explorer back, along with the classic search?
I really hope there is....
I was close to uninstalling Vista and going back to my "backed-up XP" until
I decided to give Agent Ransack a try. This freeware search application still
seems to work fine in Vista and even offers advantages over XP search, e.g.,
clicking on a file in the found filelist shows the lines and line numbers of
the found pattern. Of course, the filelist still allows for explorer
context-menu options for openning the files. The website is here:

Of course, I'm still hoping that Microsoft fixes this major flaw in Vista
but this program allows to to continue on with my beta testing of Vista.
Lastly, use at your own risk.
