Default return the file search feature that was so easy to use in XP Pro

I'm trying to learn Vista after many successful years using XP - and the
thought process behind this software just doesn't make sense. If BMW came
out with a new car like MS designs new software - the steering wheel would be
in the back seat and the gas pedal would be in the trunk.

So many easy and intuitive features worked so well that you have made so
obtuse and counter intuitive.

I'm trying to find all thes jpg I modified within the past month - I don't
store these in Pictures but in specific folders with appropriate names.
However the Search feature activated by the Start button doesn't allow for
this type of search. And the Navigation Pane is not intuitive either.

You should have done better!

By the way - I'm the network admin for my company and the help desk contact.
I'm not someone looking for ANY KEY. I've been recommending to management
that they NOTupgrade from their XP PRO OS / Windows Standard Server network
because of these issues.
