Fairly messy behavior when using right-click options in the IE taskbar previews.
Open IE and open a few tabs.
Fire up the taskbar thumbnail preview and right-click on any one tab preview. Then directly right-click on another.
I'm not sure if this is just my machine, but IE flickers rather obviously (more...)
You obviously cannot minimize just one tab, so when previewing tabs, either:
- Replace the word Minimize with 'Minimize IE' (or something like that).
- Remove the Minimize option altogether from the Right-Click menu.

Explorer items jump all over the place when clicked after Active Title Bar size set to 17
This one is a little obscure, but totally repeatable. At first I thought this was a serious bug with explorer items jumping all over the place when clicking them, but I figured out the issue is caused by setting the Active Title Bar size to the bare (more...)

Media player stops responding if you click on a homegroup and it is not available
If I am in WMP and I select music on a homegroup share WMP locks up and stops responding.
There should be a service just like the one that tells you when you can't connect to a mapped network share that handles homegroups also.
FYI. Anything that cuases an app to stop responding should be Sever, right?
