[Time] The more clocks, the more setting modes

Submitted by Flora43 on June 19, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

Problem: Note -- it isn't a problem with only Windows, it's a problem with almost every clock.

Windows for PCs has a dialog box where you can set time and date. No unwanted questions like „Save changes?”. <- OK

Windows (more...)

Solution: Microsoft can't fix the problem with my little clock, but please remove this unwanted confirmation dialog in the next version of Windows Mobile!

Submitted by kisetsu17 on May 22, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Bug

Problem: Prior to writing this, the taskbar's system tray area sort of "slides" when expanded or collapsed through the arrow in the leftmost side, but just recently I noticed that it no longer does that--it just sort of hops when you expand or collapse (more...)

Solution: Remember what the icon size settings are.

Narrator is running but not shown in taskbar

Submitted by jc4life05 on April 8, 2009 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Bug, Icons, Usability

Problem: As you can see from the picture below, I have Narrator running, usually it starts automatically when I start the computer or return from sleep mode. However, the narrator program is not visible on the taskbar.

This happens in Vista Business (more...)

Solution: A simple solution would be to add a troubleshooting feature that is in the action center to remedy this situation. In less words, fix the bug and show narrator when it should be shown.
