Whenever I'm booted into Windows, I always have a Windows Explorer window open:
I find that it is nice to quickly be able to switch windows to look for a file, or to transfer something, or whatever.
One of my biggest peeves with Windows Explorer is that the Undo doesn't always work. Occasionally, when I am typing on a laptop, the palm of my hand brushes the touchpad and causes some unexpected things to happen. For instance, sometimes a directory will be grabbed from the Windows Explorer window, and then dropped who-knows-where. And of course, the default in Windows Explorer is to move the directory if the target is on the same volume. And since I wasn't intending to copy or move a file, I have no idea what was moved, or where it was moved to.
So, now I have a misplaced directory somewhere on my hard drive, and I pretty much have no idea how to find it so that I can move it back. Naturally, the first thing I think to do is to hit the Undo button, but it doesn't allow you to undo that action.
Why the hell not?
