Worthless Wizards

The world champion for this irritant must be the "Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard". This wizard is so bad, it's hard to know where to begin complaining. First, do we really need a wizard for such a simple task? Second, if we must have a wizard, can't it be quick and painless? Do we really need the Welcome screen? Third, why is it so incredibly slow opening archives with lots of files? Cygwin's unzip is vastly faster.

Shell extensions can be great. When they don't suck.
