Enable Drag&Drop to the Breadcrumb bar
The most needed feature missing in the shell IMO is dragging files and folders to the breadcrumb bar in Explorer. This would enable users to easily move items to the parent folder or extract files from a zipped folder without going trough the extraction (more...)

Feature: Enable ISO Mounting as native in Windows 7 Explorer
Since Virtual CD doesn't work any more a native integrated way (in Explorer) to mount ISO to the My Computer. It would also solve any conflicts with drivers and the like. I had to use System Restore in order to get Windows 7 to work again after trying (more...)
It would be beneficial for MSDN subscribers and the general public and would also get rid of Spy-ware ridden software that enables this. So the solution would be to have a native integrated way (in Explorer) like Zip except it asks to mount the ISO instead.

Extend the taskbar to multiple screens
Now when you have multiple screens, the taskbar is only shown on the first one.
It is annoying not having the taskbar extend onto the next screen because you can't see which windows are on there.
It would be nice if the taskbar extends to all the screens, preferably a taskbar per screen.

Option to pause (and resume) a file transfer
Sometimes a file transfer can take up a lot of resources so I think it would be useful if you could pause it and resume it again at a later time.
Add a pause button on the file copy dialog.

Redesign the IE downloader to use Aero File Operation animation and styling
Copying, Renaming, Tagging, Deleting, and Moving files in Vista/7 all use a common window styling. The only File Operation that doesn't use this styling is Downloading.
Update the window to use the same styling as the other File Operations.
Here's a mockup to give an idea of what I mean. (Vote on suggestion not my not so good mockup!)

Changed in Internet Explorer 9, for better or worse...
Support wallpaper spanning / diffrent wallpaper per-monitor.
Its annoying having multiple monitors with the same image on both.
It would be nice if windows supported wallpaper spanning, so you could place one image across both of them.
Currently I use display fusion to do this.
Make a more customizable wallpaper settings screen.

Why is there so much unused whitespace in the Update Driver Software Wizard?
There is all this empty unused space in the Update Driver Software Wizard and we're given such a small and annoying to navigate area to find the actual drivers!!! Why!?!?
Make those boxes wider and taller, the window should maybe be bigger also, I'd like to be able to view at least 7 rows at a time, 10 would be nice but I'll be take 7 rows.

Sound (control panel applet) icon doesn't match Aero-style
When you go to sound settings in control panel, just look at the taskbar. The sound icon is old-school.
UPD: Can not notice if you enable small icons in taskbar.
There is nice icon (link to sound in control panel grouped/tasks view) which is higher resolution, that can be used

Extra border around IE8’s content
There is a 3px Win95-style border inside of Internet Explorer’s content area. That does make it look odd and more important prevents the scroll bar from being at the border of the screen when the window is maximized (Fitt’s Law). On the lower right (more...)
