If there's anything more annoying than having to make a statement or request twice, it's having to do so when dealing with A MACHINE that's supposed to PERFECTLY FOLLOW YOUR EVERY COMMAND.

Usually a good-humored admonition to studying programmers: "The computer isn't screwing up; it's doing exactly what you told it to do." Well, in this case, a misguided MS engineer/designer -- or possible a whole team of same! -- appears to be interfering with those intentions via a piece of code that he/she/they wrote.

The really funny and painful part of it, too, is that they probably thought they were making things BETTER and making users' life EASIER by doing so. Problem is, MS treats all users as lusers.

"How is the poor helpless newbie going to find Folder List again in scenario X?? We'd better help them. Expert system tweakers, sorry, you're screwed. But unlike newbs, EXPERTS can solve their own problems, so they won't mind!" <-- MS design meeting, I swear.

The problem with all MS software since the dawn of GUI (and perhaps before, but it's a bit before my time as a professional) is when they try to THINK FOR YOU! Dang, MS, will you stop?!

And it's REALLY confusing when you can go to My Computer, see the navigation pane (which you disabled), see TWO references for each drive (how stupid is that?!), then click on a drive and...guess what?!...the navigation pane goes away. Ahem.
