Solution: use Firefox/Opera; stop browsing your hard-drive. Who needs files
anyway, right? The idea of integrating the browser with the file manager
doesn't look so bright anymore, does it? As Allchin, Gates and many others
reveal in their E-mails, it was only done as a criminal act to drive a
competitor out of business and they are still paying for it (ActiveX
disasters, instability, bloat). The users pay for it too.

You're giving them ideas. They could escape a state of being in a position of
disadvantage. :-(
