Don't tempt me. It almost seems worth reinstalling everything after a
reformat of the HDD to get rid of all this crap. I'm sure that
sentiment will only grow. The _only_ reason I am persisting is ease of
large HDD installation.

Not necessarily. I actually don't think there is a way (within XP) to
make it _open_ Explorer with the folders pane open. You have to go the
extra click on the "folders" button at the top. I'll look in TweakUI
but I won't hold my breath. I guessed I would have to go into Task
Manager and start switching off processes but I hoped that I was just
missing something obvious. Obviously not.
