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.

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.

Most AeroTaskforce issues still apply to Windows 7 taskforce
Most of the AeroTaskforce issues apply to Windows 7 taskforce. Windows 7 uses the same Vista codebase, same drivers, same Aero layer, etc etc. It's not a complete rewrite of Windows. It's more of a Vista 2.0.
By having a separate (more...)
Provide some sort of continuity between aero taskforce and windows 7. Some possible options: merge the two, or duplicate the aero issues into the windows 7 taskforce. Another option: allow issues to be marked as "Windows" "Vista-only" (more...)

Tip: green for promote, red or pink for demote.

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...)

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).

Folders do not remember icon size settings
The folders in Vista seem to not remember what size icon was used the last time the folder was used. Control Panel for example will sometimes have the icons displayed in a completely different size each time I open it up from a fresh boot.
Remember what the icon size settings are.
