This is also
not an attempt to advertise, just a personal advice.
I don't care if anyone follows it or not.
I only want to offer practical advice: why not using a radically different approach, such as one of Orthrodox File Managers. The best I would advice is Total Commander (see reference below), but you can find something else. Most people liked it when I demonstrated its benefits, and those using this (or similar) or a regular basis remember
any kind
of Explorer as a nightmare.

Please, no flame wars, anyone! After all, this is a lot more about personal working styles.
