Win 7 file manager culture shock.

I probably won't be the first person to complain about this, but having been using file managers since the days of the 'Ol Speccy and Atari STe's, I much prefer to see the 'traditional' system, and furthermore it annoys me that MS has the arrogance to 'force' me and other people to use their new system, without even offering users the option of still being able to use the 'old-fashioned' layout. I much the prefer the devil I know, to the devil I don't. Maybe I will get used to it, but does anyone know a really good 'Traditional' (and bullet-proof!) file manager that I can install?

Can we take it you just upgraded to win 7 from say xp? If you think this is bad take a look at win 8 and "metro"

Actually, for Vista! I sometimes wonder if MS, having taken in their latest batch of Uni graduates, tell them, "Ok, lets see what brilliant ideas you have" ... Unfortunately the Geeks shout loudest, whilst those who are just plain sensible, keep quiet. They don't seem to be getting the calibre of programmers that inhabited Xerox Parc!

You moved from Vista to Windows 7 and you think things have vastly changed? What has changed so much in explorer that you don't want to use it anymore?

I like Windows 7 ... however, I wished they also support the older interface. Why not? I don't know ... do try ClassicShell to at least get the "UP" button back!
