Default Searching functions seem excessive

Sometimes I feel that I am the only person who is organized with their files.
I don’t have a good memory, but if I don’t know whether or not I have a file,
I always know where to look for it. This is because my files are organized
consistently.

Whenever I help a friend with some problem on their system, I often find
people dumping all the files they have into either My Documents or the
Desktop. When they look for those files, I see them scrolling the "Open"
dialog window one column at a time and parsing the names for what they are
looking for. So is desktop searching meant for this crowd? It seems so to me.

I used Vista Beta 2, and I found that I had to search for a file anytime I
wanted. Why is it now SO HARD to navigate to my files. Windows Explorer has
been gutted! Instead of adding functionality for increased ease of use and
navigation, I get a tall column for my "Favorite Searches", and below it a
tiny opening that contains the folder tree. This isn’t helpful. Are the
organized power users like me being left out of the picture? Does anyone feel
the same way?
