Submitted by Acta on July 17, 2009 to Aesthetics

Problem: Technically not a W7 suggestion but still...

Windows 7 has finally bought consistancy to windows... (in 99% of cases)... then with MS Office 2010 it is ruined. I would say a large percentage of windows 7 users will use office 2010, and (more...)

Solution: Make this version of windows be the first since 2K to actually follow Windows guidlines...


(whilst im here i must praise the extraudinary speed boost however... cant wait to try it in 64bit that must be crazily quick...)

Quicker Javascript rendering.
Loading bar in the address bar, just like in the file explorer.

Solution: Add an option to copy only the properties from folders upon folders of digital media. Then allow us to paste properties, and then files of the same name will have their properties ONLY changed. Saving alot of time, and makind media tagging easier.

Submitted by Acta on June 4, 2009 to Usability

Why?

Solution: Stop this or add an icon to the windows explorer and control panel top left.

Top image shows the menu you get with a single left click in the top left hand corner of control panel and windows explorer. Bottom image shows where the icon (more...)

Submitted by Acta on May 30, 2009 to Usability
