Description
If you want to see a much better File Explorer concept I've made that I'm pretty proud of, check this out: dakirby309.deviantart.com/art/… 
VERSION 2 HERE:
Windows Explorer Concept 2.0 v2
This is a totally recreated concept I have for Windows (no particular OS version, just Windows) based off of my original Explorer concept, made back in 2012, (broken up into two parts) that can be seen here:

One thing, this is concept 2.0 v1... I made a v2 that can be seen here: dakirby309.deviantart.com/art/…
Another thing, mind telling what you find 'very bad' about it? Criticism and comments/opinions are good, but what good are they if they're not helpful at all?

Great stuff. I only would like to see the tab functions besides the adress bar. Maybe it is only me. Anything else looks realy fine.

I could do that, but most people are used to tabs at the top cause of Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc. But I based the design off of Internet Explorer. And I see the Win8 explorer window and see a totally empty titlebar at the very top, so I thought "tabs would look good there..." Thanks for the feedback

Honestly I'm not a fan of the sidebar content icons, the yellow and black ones. I'd rather have clearer icons with some size to them.

Yellow and black ones? Are you referring to the (yellow) folder icons and the (dark grey) drive icons?
Either way I was just using the icons from my Simply Styled Icon Set dakirby309.deviantart.com/art/… instead of the default Windows icons.

Yeah, when shrunken down to that size (From the look of it, 24x24 or so) with the actual icon bit being only half of that icon, it becomes a little tedious to see. They'd probably be better off as flat icons based on the originals instead of folder icons.

Nice concept I like it a lot! Though the tabs look kinda out of place.

I will be making a different style for the tab and address bar to make the tab bar look a bit more uniform with the rest

I have to say that I like all of this. The Process + Ram is useful to me, the "condensed" libraries + OneDrive icons that take up no extra vertical room, but as a horizontal list is awesome, just all of this is awesome and all in all great ideas. Good work!

You have a LOT of great ideas. MS needs to pay attention.

I've changed the annotation style for optional features.

Thanks for the feedback! And I should've said "Optional" on some of the features cause the CPU/ram bars and small close buttons I want as options. I will go back and fix that!
Glad you like the concept overall
