Windows Explorer Sucks

[SapperPest19]

Ok...I have vista home premium and don't really care for it.
Especially windows explorer. I'm not a novice so I don't need explorer
to change the columns depending on the content of the folder. I tried
the "apply to folders" option but that doesn't apply the settings to
all the folders. I also want a delete button on the toolbar and cannot
figure out how to add it. Is there any place to actually "fix" these
problems? Or maybe resort to the XP style explorer?

Gotta say I would also be happy if I could tell Vista how I want the files
to be displayed, and it could manage to remember it!!!!

It is very irritating how it keeps switching views, it often gets it right,
but often quite wrong too.

For Vista to remember your folder views, try this:

settings.html?ltr=W_'

It worked for me.

I was all excited until I read "When done resetting, you will need to
reapply your settings for each window type. (EX: Contacts, Music,
Images, program files, etc)." I might have to resort to trying this
because I can't seem to find a fix for windows explorer. This fix is
for windows explorer with music files in this particular folder, for
windows explorer with image files in this particular folder, etc.
