    File Explorer is the best way to see and access all folders and files in Windows, it is the mainstay. Two items are a bother, one new and one that has never been improved.1 Instead of making File Explorer more flexible - moving Quick Access entries up and down in the list, as was possible in Win10, "Home" entries now drop into the bottom and are stuck. This was a marvelous feature in the previous version which helped customize jumping into folders. Please allow users to shift the list order as before. 2 The Preview window and column widths settings need flexibility. Windows has a cramped-up
