Gad, yes. Even when you've banished that idiot pooch (I LIKE dogs; but
that thing is an insult to all canines), it still stinks. The layout is
all wrong (rule one of screen design: DON'T make people scroll right and
left; but unless you've got a super wide screen, that's what you have to
do with that idiotic layout),

Huh? What do you mean? The window is configurable. And column width is
configurable. Granted, the configs you set may not come back next time, but
it isn't as bad as you describe.

 and the narrowest target you can set is a whole drive.
No, you just don't know how to use it. Go to that field and type in the
path you want.

 And on at least one box it didn't find a file that was definitely there
(found it by going to a command prompt and using "FIND";


Hard to believe, unless it's a hidden file.
