you guys are just old geezers stuck in a groove and allergic to change
I know because I am one too
however you cannot have a major version uphaul without some change
look, most of the time many people (myself included) don't use any advanced search options, usually just NAME. Why clutter the interface with unused "advanced" options?
I thought somebody would notice that eventually, well done
the template in the text is correct though and as most people will have items in subfolders, the double backslash won't be an issue
perhaps you are using /P command line switch somewhere? This opens a new process and hence a new window
another possibility is using /S switch to open a different window layout?
