I don't want to hide extensions. In Vista, when you select the file and press F2,
it only selects the basename and not the extension. If you do the same thing in
XP, it selects the entire filename (basename + extension).

I just want a simple file search like what existed in XP. Unfortunately, that doesn't
exist anymore.

This isn't an option if you set View to "Details".

That's good, but where's the button option?

How? I want to add a "Move Up" icon on the toolbar (where it has "Organize", "Views",
"Slide Show", "Burn"). Ideally, I want to get rid of "Slide Show" and "Burn" as
it's taking up real estate for operations that I really want there.
