Due to the stupidity of Long (that's me), all comments on the Windows 7 Taskforce after March has been lost.
As a result of this unfortunate event, a transition to a new backend (the one powering heresanidea.net) is being considered.

Submitted by nyp on January 29, 2009 to Aesthetics, Icons

Go to C:\Windows
Right-click on Prefetch and choose Properties

A XP-styled icon greets you. (ACLUI.dll)

Update it to the most recent one. (that icon is located in aclui.dll)

I think that whole dialog needs a rewamp that "Object name:" string does not match the "simple language"-guidelines and this "To continue" text is also rather confusing for novice users.

The Security tab is in fact an advance user's item, novice users really should not be poking around in it.

And we arn't advanced users? I have to say we are, given we know how to send feedback on such things...
