   I am delighted at the near universal response here that IE7 lacks sufficient customization options.  My $.02 are as follows:

   1)  Bring back the ability to put icons on the explorer bar, make the file menu fully customizable etc.

   2)  Make the tab bar be just a tab bar and give us the option to have it visible only when multiple tabs are open.

   3)  Give us the ability to accept self signed certificates permanently and easily, like Firefox does.

   IE is almost as good as Firefox after IEPro addins are installed so that it has things like an ad blocker.  But its lack of configurability and no easy way to accept sefl signed certificates keep me using Firefox.  If I really need IE (seldom) I use the Firefox plugin IE Tab to display a page using the IE engine in the Firefox framework.  Works great.

   Hello!

   AFAIK it is bot possible to put menu on top of the window in Windows Explorer (OTOH, this is possible in IE7: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16040352 ). Will it be possible in Vista SP1?

   Thanks, Roman

   Bring back the file types tab under folder options too! The existing file association modifier doesn't allow for customization, only changing the program associated with a file.

   To The MAZZTer,

   Thanks! I do notice there is a folder named WINDOWS under \user\myname folder, though i cannot see any file in it except a subfolder named system. I believe your #2 point is the answer to my question, thanks!

   Hey everyone:  thanks for your comments and suggestions on UI enhancements -- I'm sharing them with the shell/UI team for their consideration.

   Nice feature but... It's way too hard to turn on and off. Give me a toolbar button to turn it on/off (or a context menu option). Why isn't there a little X in the corner to close it? It would also be nice if folders could remember whether the preview pane is visible or not. Similar comments apply to the Navigation Pane and Details Pane.

   Does anybody know if there is a way to turn off the breadcrumb feature in explorer?  While others like it, I find it annoying and would just like to see the full path to the current location.  I know that happens when I click on or hover over the breadcrumbs, but I'd like the breadcrumbs off.

    Hey shollomon:  you've actually identified the answer yourself.  In other words, there is no way to alter the breadcrumb toolbar to display the file/directory path instead.
