Make use of built-in temperature sensors
Windows 7 supposedly has a nice sensor framework, which already works with stuff like fingerprint sensors, ambient light sensors, accelerometers etc. But how about also using it to support the temperature sensors that most modern motherboards, CPUs, GPUs (more...)
Add support for built-in temperature sensors, and allow the readings to be monitored in real-time. For extra cool points, expose the data through the gadget API.
Some other ideas:
- keep logs and allow users to view past temperatures (more...)

Screensaver options
The three new screensavers (Bubbles, Mystify, and Ribbons) in Windows 7 7231/7260 do not have options to edit their setting except by editing the registry to change things like opacity, number of items on screen, et al. All I get is a message saying: (more...)

Windows 7 refuses to unmount storage devices, even when not in use
W7 often refuses to unmount storage devices with a "can't stop your device because a program is still using it" message - even, in many circumstances, when no actual program is using it. As a result, I'm forced to yank the hardware (more...)
Reconfigure the "device in use" logic of this widget to be more accurate.
Also, reconfigure the dialog to show the names of applications or services that are (ostensibly) still using the device.

Copy files from internet explorer dialog box should have a "never ask me this again" check box.
When you copy files from a webpage in internet explorer to the computer (ie; image) you are presented with a dialog box (shown in screenshot) problem is there is no check box for "never show me this again".
Add that check box. most of us who check that box have read the dialog and understand the risks of downloading files from websites. The check box can easy be reenabled with in the settings.
Another idea is just remove the dialog. Firefox (more...)

Media Player should restrict album art updates in the same way as text metadata
Windows Media Player has a number of options to turn off media file metadata updates for new or existing files. None of these stops WMP from tinkering with album art files that are already known to be correct.
The previous album art may (more...)
WMP needs to respect user data. If users take the trouble to find the correct album art for their media files, at higher resolution if they desire, then WMP should not stomp all over it.
