vista annoyances

1 - In windows explorer backsapce no longer goes up a directory, it goes to the previsouly visted dir same as alt + left arrow. there's no shortcut for going to parent dir.
2 - In command prompt, droping a folder to the windows is disabled, in previous versions of windows it gives the path of that folder. (this applies to files too) Please add a shortcut key for pasting.
3. Restart your computer no longer prompts for user confirmation. This could probably be re-enabled with a registry hack or powertoy
4. Is there a way to use the XP picture preview slide show. the new one is slower and more resource intensive with all those 3D effects.
Thats all for now :)

sorry for the double post.

For #1, I believe you can use alt + up arrow to go up a directory. Or you can click on the 'bread crumb' bar.

4. there should be a way to use the simple XP picture preview slide show for slower machines. the new one is a lot slower and more resource intensive with all those 3D effects.
What do you guys think?

1) Still works for me... anyone else? 2) This is to be fixed - I'm sure this was available in previous builds, and am sure it'll be in future builds. 3) + 4) I see what you mean.

1. Go to Computer and type in c:\windows\system32 in the address bar If you hit backspace in vista it goes back to Computer last visited folder in previous versions it goes to the parent dir which is c:\windows\

Whoopeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! At last, Microsoft has recognized that I do know what I'm doing when I click the "shut down the machine" button, and no longer questions me about my decision!

Now, if we could just convince Microsoft to let us have control over our own machines and stop asking for permission to do our everyday tasks. I mean, Windows needs permission to open the Device Manager? Gimme a break!
