[Time] The more clocks, the more setting modes
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

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

Sliding animation in system tray expansion
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...)
None as of yet, I'm looking to your suggestions, since I'm also a newbie here. Oh, hello, by the way. :D

Keyboard focus in file dialog
When navigating the file dialog with the keyboard, after pressing Enter to go into a given directory the keyboard focus is changed to the file name field.
Edit: Yeah, sorry forgot to mention the fact that this happens in Windows 7 build (more...)
The keyboard focus should remain in the list view.

Narrator is running but not shown in taskbar
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...)
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.

Start Menu customisation by right click and drag reveals All users/current user structure
Example: I have folder categories in the Start Menu e.g. Internet, Multimedia, Maintenance, Office...
I commonly right click and drag on the folder for a newly installed program's shortcuts to move it to a 'category folder'.

Filenames covered by taskbar
When you have a file as the last one in a column on the desktop and that file has a long enough filename, it is obscured by the taskbar. The full filename of the file in the example is 'The Trains of the Obama Express January 17 2009.flv'.
Make the filename appear to the side or elsewhere.

Use Boot Manager font in Chkdsk and other BootExecute applications
On some localized versions of Windows (since Windows 2000 I think), an additional font is loaded to help display the localized version of the boot manager. But when an app is ran during BootExecute (such as chkdsk when you shut down Windows improperly (more...)
Find some way to let that BootExecute mode keep on using Boot Manager's font, or any other way to make it capable of displaying Unicode characters.

spacebar presses "cancel" in a UAC prompt
I am typing on Windows Live Messenger and doing other stuff as well. Then a UAC prompt comes up in my face and I accidentally press spacebar (because, you know, I'm typing) and it presses cancel.
I know spacebar presses the highlighted button, and by default, the cancel button is highlighted. The cancel button should NOT be highlighted by default (the allow button shouldn't be highlighted either).

Change System Locale: Thou shalt restart now... what?
When I change the system locale (Language for non-Unicode programs), this comes out... Restart now, or Cancel. Can I restart later? I don't know. Do I press Cancel? But this means it will cancel the system locale change, right? I'm confused.
Replace the Cancel button with a Postpone button.
