Canceling from "User Account Control settings" always leads to Solution Center
Control Panel > User Accounts > "Turn User Account Control On or Off" > [Cancel] leads to Windows Solution Center.

Dynamically resizing Taskbar icons to handle overflow
When the taskbar becomes full to capacity it creates a second layer to hold information. This is inconvenient as users have to switch between layers to multitask, move taskbar items to suit the task at hand, or deal with it in their special own way (like (more...)
If the taskbar is set to use large icons, or rather, if the taskbar is not set to use small icons, the taskbar buttons should resize themselves to better hold more icons. The size of the icons should gradually change from the regular large icons to the (more...)

Folder1.0 _ Folder2.0

Folder1.1 _ Folder1.2 _ Folder1.3
If I wanted to change the security settings (more...)
Allow the Security tab to be displayed when multiple objects are selected, possibly Sharing and Previous Versions as well. I've yet to touch those tabs though... I imagine when I do there will inevitably be a UX problem to report though...

Preview Pane does not work correctly once users reconfigure default file associations.

Make "Open With..." available when multiple objects are selected.

Explorer sometimes gives cryptic messages that don't help users.
When an error occurs Windows will generally give you a message via a yellow box, popup, or whatever indicating that something broke. The same happens when whenever conditions are less than optimal (search with no index maybe). These messages are simplififed (more...)
If something isn't indexed, just tell me. No more cryptic error messages, pop-ups, or such.

Games Explorer pins itself under Windows Explorer's jump button correctly but appears in the Taskbar as a separate entitiy.
Games Explorer pins itself under Windows Explorer's jump button correctly but appears in the Taskbar as a separate entitiy. Whether or not it's pinned under Explorer, while on the taskbar Games Explorer retains the usual "Pin this program (more...)
Group Games Explorer under Window Explorer on the Taskbar.
