You may, but Exploder scales very poorly to directories containing tens of thousands of files. So does the image previewer -- somehow, it seems to care how many other files are in the directory with the one you're previewing, since the time it spends "generating preview..." seems to grow linearly in the number of files in that directory(!).

A lot of other Explorer stuff is either linear in the size of some directory when it should be constant, or is quadratic when it should be n log n. :P

Obviously, Microsoft's so-called "engineers" wouldn't know a decent algorithm if my 20lb, 1500 page computer algorithm bible fell on their noggins from the top of the Empire State Building. Just about everything they did in Explorer I could do 10 times better, and for all that I can't find a *@&! job to save my life. :P
