    Where Is The File Manager (Explorer)


    I need to find the file manager, aka Windows Explorer.
    I'm new to Windows 7 and very disturbed
    It talks about it, but I don't see it.

    I've got Vista on one computer and I found it, but on Windows 7, can't.

    Hold down the Windows key and "E" at the same time.

    Windows Explorer magically appears.

    Pinned next to the start menu, it opens up default to the libraries.

    Well golly, I sure miss my Windows Explorer. This one looks so different.
    Thru the years I loved Windows, ME, XP, hated Vista, but now....it looks pretty good compared to Win7.

    I know, you only like the one you use...but one thing, I'm sure glad I found you guys to help me.

    You can also right click the orb and click "open windows explorer"

    If I could, I'd still be using File Mangler !!
    I've NEVER liked the Explorer interface and its "magic" tree !

    In case you want to find the exe, so that you can make a shortcut to it, look in the Accessories folder.

    If you like the " Old Style " Explorer try Directory Opus.

    I have used it for years and it is Outstanding.

    I didn't really find it much different from XP, what is missing?
