Sound devices mgmt need a revamp. DO IT.

Submitted by Wes Perring on March 18, 2010 to Annoyance, Icons, Usability

QA time.
When displaying two audio devices next to the task tray by left clicking the speaker icon, I can't set a default audio device without opening a new faking winder.

I want to set the default audio device by right click > set default on the device image; after left clicking the speaker icon next to the task tray.

Shared folder, Icon Change

Submitted by Toppack on March 17, 2010 to Icons, Usability

Hello,
In Windows-98 File-manager, the folder Icons Changed when the folder was Shared on the network, but I've Not found a way to activate this, in later OSs.

This was a very helpful feature, to quickly determine if the folders were shared or not.
I would very much like for this to be added to Windows-7 ?
Thank you,
Rick
