All power plans in tray jumplist

Submitted by Paralityk on May 6, 2009 to Annoyance, Usability

In Vista:
Click tray icon, click "Power Saver"

In Seven:
Click tray icon, click "More power options", (usually wait a little (more...)

Solution: Make it as it was before (back in Vista)

Physic implementation

Submitted by Paralityk on November 10, 2008 to Aesthetics

Problem: OK, i know it's problematic but it just came to my mind, how about a little, discrete physics engine, so you could throw windows to the corners etc. :D

PS. I know probably most of you demote that :P But I just wanted to remind you (more...)

Media Center tray/background services etc.

Submitted by Paralityk on November 6, 2008 to Aesthetics, Annoyance

Problem: Some of resources are used by media center unneeded services (after first run of mc)
For ex. ehrecvr.exe is for TV Tuners - the problem is I even don't have TV Tuner, so why it's running?
...And this annoying icon that you can't (more...)

Solution: Make Media Center smarter in which services are really needed

The %username% in start menu leads to Libraries

Submitted by Paralityk on November 5, 2008 to Aesthetics

Solution: Rename link in startmenu (from "Your username" to "Libraries")

Severity: Medium

Impact: Low

Status: Fixed

Fixed in build 7057.
