Lots more here:

From what I’m reading in a lot of these, certain ‘builds’ have the “jump bug”; others don’t. I have no clue as to why. Even some of Win-8 builds have it. All my units are free of it.

Glad to know the File Explorer jumping is a ‘bug’ and not a feature.

It showed up in the 3 Win7s I’ve used: 1 desktop and 1 laptop that died after 13 months (Samsung junk) and 1 replacement (Dell) laptop.

I have tried several standalone file managers, but they all have their quirks. I do use Classic Shell.

When I first started with Win7, I found some things from XP would not install or I preferred the XP version over the Win7 versions. With most, I managed to copy the right dll’s, etc., and get most of the XP programs to run. No so with XP’s File Manager, and MS Publisher 98 (I only use it occasionally, so not worth buying a new version) templates don’t work but the remainder of Publisher does.
