Apparently not just your opinion, it seems to be shared.

Filter maybe?  Or just ignore.

I found that you can switch back to Konqueror for File management as Mark 
explained.  However, it is getting aggravating to say the least that the Devs 
for KDE are trying to be Windows part Deux.

I went with Gnome for a while, but it got on my nerves more than KDE did.  
There are other Windowing systems, I guess, but none as complete as KDE, or
