File Sharing wizard has old XP icon
After sharing a folder through the File Sharing wizard, an XP era exclamation point shows up next to the warning about not being able to share files if the computer is sleeping.
Change the icon. I can't believe this is actually in the RC!

<FIXED>Hiding/showing menu bar in Media Player doesn't work right [7068]
Fixed in the RC.
If you hide and/or show the title bar in Media Player (control-M or right click top area), the secondary vertical bar showing the "Organize", "Stream" and "Create playlists" buttons seems to disappear, (more...)
Make the title bar hide and show properly like in previous betas, WMP11, etc etc.

Control Panel shows up twice in Start menu search
Not sure if it's just me, but if I search "control panel" it shows up twice and both results do the same thing.
EDIT: I guess it was, another poster said 7057 doesn't do it (the one I was using at the time) and after (more...)
Make it show up once.

Windows Media Download in WMP has old IE animation
When listening to an internet media file and choosing save as in WMP, the download dialog looks like it's from an old version of Internet Explorer.
UPDATE: build 7100, somebody obviously looked at this dialog box or did something to (more...)
Update it. In fact, Microsoft should have had a Windows 7 development team dedicated to removing old legacy crap and updating dialog boxes, buttons, icons, animations and all of that jazz to modern standards. Why there has to be so much legacy in a product (more...)

Network printer installation "copying files" dialog is XP style
When installing a network printer, an XP style "Copying files" dialog appears when receiving the driver files from the host computer. Obviously this is out of place in Windows 7.
7201 still there. Sigh.
Change this dialog to use the Aero style copying files dialog.

Devices and Printers window - icon and warning problems
My computer has a UPS plugged into it which interfaces with some desktop software but doesn't need a driver (in XP, Vista, or 7). The device manager always shows that 'UPS' with an exclamation point and tells me there is no driver installed. (more...)
Give an option to silence the warning (as with the tray icons).
Make the device's real image always show up, and make the generic icon centered.
Fix the beta code that makes this buggy behavior occur.

it seems OK now
<FIXED> Tooltips show up in the top left corner
On more than a few occasions, hovering over a tray icon to see it's status will somehow show up in the top left corner of the screen and doesn't go away until a few clicks are made. I don't have much 3rd party software installed and it (more...)
Correct the behavior.

<FIXED> Sound Recorder save as type dropdown STILL has misspelling
http://www.aerotaskforce.com/view/1021 - I posted the same thing on Aero Taskforce. Come on Microsoft, impress me by giving me proof that (more...)
ADD THE LETTER 'S' TO WINDOWS! It shouldn't take that long and it will make your OS look a little more professional.
Edit: this bug has been fixed.

Media Player shows wrong album art
When opening a media file in WMP, the mini mode seems to show the album art of the last media file played rather than the current one. It changes after a while but it shows this at first.
Fix it.
