I wish I could get the new Explorer thingie to remember to open the folders sidebar by default. Blasted thing.

You can use a command line switch in your Explorer shortcut to do that.
/e tells explorer to use the two pane view, so this is the shortcut I use

%windir%\explorer.exe /e,c:\

That opens explorer with two panes and starts with the C:\ drive selected.
