Interestingly, I do have a house button on my taskbar, which allows me to 
quickly access my home dir. Not that there's anything interesting in there...

Actually, I will make this my final message to this thread. It seems to me 
that you are fighting almost everyone on this subject. Yes, we are 
experienced users who don't like their habits changed and who think their 
preferences work for everyone. But, in a sense, the same could be said of 
you.

Don't take me wrong. Let me explain: I just think that each and everyone of us 
discussing this seem to not want to let go of their opinions. We've seen so 
far that the discussion has earned a hundred messages and we're no close to 
coming to a conclusion than we were the first day.

So I'll repeat what I said in one of my first messages: let this be handled by 
the usability people. Let them do polls and studies on what the users would 
want best -- and how to deal with the dissatisfied users.
