After an Internet download is complete a window pops up with "open", "open
folder" and "save" options. If the download destination was the document
folder or any other folder besides the desktop and the "open folder" option
is selected the folder is opened and you can start to work. If the folder is
the desktop folder then a message pops up telling you that the folder is the
file is on desktop instead of opening the folder so you can view the contents
of the desktop as a detail or thumbnail screen instead of as desktop icons.
Just another example of Microsoft demanding that users do things Microsoft's
way instead of doing things in the way things need to be done - another great
reason why moving to Linux is becoming more attractive each and every day.

Or you could just use Firefox...

Yeah, I could if I were not a Microsoft stock holder and there were not a
thousand other little individual things that are obviously the result of
unsupervised or unthought through work...

You write ". . . instead of doing things in the way things need to be done".
Now which way would this be? Your way? The Linux way? Let's be
realistic: There are always several ways of doing things and there is no
"right way" or "wrong way". What you might ask for is more flexibility,
which is what Firefox gives you, as suggested by Shenan Stanley.

Based off a decision you made to invest in a company you feel is doing
shoddy work you cannot use Firefox?
I am unsure which part of that makes less sense. ;-)

You are so full of hops my friend. Go to Linux if you wish...no
one is holding you back.

Humm, you seem to be a bit less clueless than those you accuse of being
incompetent. Maybe you should go back to contemplating your navel, and
consider lint farming.

Microsoft has groups devoted to studying work habits, they've run labs and
surveys for ease of use. The company has even written books on GUI
interfaces, the psychology behind them, and how users react.

The techniques finally implemented are a distillation of experts who have
devoted their professional lives to the study.

After all this investigation, it came down to: "Since we can't please
everybody, we'll just please ourselves."

So, then, it's just something you'll have to get used to - much like the
rotation direction on clocks or the location of the steering wheel on the
majority of cars.

Microsoft is the keeper of the standard...
