The I use Vista, the more I dislike it..

An example, trying to delete lots of files from a camera memory card. In
the old days, I used to select the ones I wanted, then do a "Invert
Selection", followed by a delete. Can I do that now? Not that I can see.

I also tried enabling the tickboxes in explorer, but that drives me nuts,
and is virtually unusable...

Very poor show to change all these things, without having a "Classic"
Windows explorer for those that liked how it worked before...
