Windows explorer is a real misdevelopment missing the point of proper workflow. Easy to see: Many many people use the desktop as temporary dustbin for unpacking zip file contents etc. With a proper file browser setup you have no need at all for doing thigns that way.

To be honest, the whole short-cut idea of the desktop doesn't really work well at all with Windows. It doesn't surprise me at all that people use the Desktop to unpack files and make folders to store programs and files into. I do so too, as it's intuitive and searching files in Program Files (or the Explorer) doesn't work. Did you ever successfully found your files by doing a search? Windows desperately needs a 'Go to folder' kind of approach to fix that. Make it all relative and context sensitive. (Hint: take a close look at Mac. ) Oh, and I hate the fact that some developers make it cumbersome to uninstall a program.

You can copy from one side to another. A go to function exists... at least for desktop shortcuts Btw: I have desktop icons completely turned off and sice I've done that I improved my workflow a lot. But it needs extra tools as Windows Explorer is a poor solution.

A lot of times it's 'greyed out' for some reason and you will need to press right mouse button, go to Properties and there somewhere you can find 'open file location'. It would have been awesome if we could simply right click anything and click 'go to file/folder' instantly. Same for installing and un-installing things, why not add an uninstall option to right mouse clicking? PHeMoX, Innervision Software (c) 1995-2008 For more info visit: Innervision Software
