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.

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.

What are the "all current items" when this dialog comes up during a file moving operation? Why must these items pause the rest of the file moving progress until I answer the dialog?
When moving files, move everything that doesn't need user attention, then show a dialog with a list of every item that needs user confirmation of what to do with them.
