[[Windows Vista]] saw many changes to Explorer. The common tasks pane from Windows XP was removed, and replaced by a new command bar at the top. The address bar was removed, and replaced by a new "breadcrumbs" bar that was easier to use than the previous UI. The left side of the window featured a navigation tree, providing access to user folders, but hiding other folders away in a "Folders" drawer. The Filmstrip view was removed and replaced by a new preview pane. Drives would show their free amount of space in a bar that would appear under the icon. The classic menu bar could still be enabled, and the navigation tree could be hidden.

The taskbar received a minor visual update, most notably in the form of the new Start button with only the Windows logo without the classic "Start" text (the [[Windows Classic]] theme is not affected from this change). Windows Search was now integrated into the Start menu.
