well :P
taskbar, properties, start menu, customize, check the 'recent idems' box - you now have them back! I think they were removed by default because too many hamfisted husbands had their porn stash accidentally revealed.

Anyway, I don't want windows to stop going wrong - it'd take a large chunk out of my income :)

No worries
I had a similar problem completely overlooking 'open folder location' in the new search

Also, re things being hidden from you - have a look at 'godmode'. Just about everything is presented in one very easy-to-use page.

Aye
It's nothing more than a shortcut, really - nothing to download - but the resulting agrgeagation of useful stuff saves hours of finding out where MS has hidden stuff. I named mine 'noclip' rather than godmode, because I'm sad.
