I miss not having an X or delete file symbol to rapidly delete selected files when in file explorer in vista. Is there a way to add this to the top menu?

Naw, I miss the delete symbol. Used it all the time in xp.
Also, why they put a DELETE in the recycle bin options is also beyond me. I keep deleting the recycle bin from the desktop.
I did find a recycle bin "gadget" addon that I now use. Try it out. Puts the recycle bin on your gadgets sidebar, and works the same way, except no DELETE option, just open and empty.

i don't think there's a way to make any toolbar... only what yo ucna do is right-click

i wonder how grandmas who never used right click delete their files.

Before Vista, Nautilus for GNOME was most basic file manager... no longer.

Yours is not the first complaint about this lack of UI in Vista. Perhaps they will add it back in in SP1, due to popular demand?

Perhaps an e-mail to MS is in order.
