Allow a way to set Mastered as the default burning format.

Submitted by bandycj on July 11, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

Currently Vista just blazes through a prompt which sets the default format for burning CD's to Live File System which incompatible with just about every thing I use burned CD's for.

I end up burning half my stuff twice as I over (more...)

It would be nice if this setting weren't hidden by default and some mechanism was provided to set Mastered as the default.

Border padding, worst..idea..ever..

Submitted by bandycj on June 8, 2008 to Aesthetics, Annoyance

This is the most annoying thing ever put into an MS UI. It's the first thing I disable on a new install, buried 4 dialogs deep into UI properties dialogs. Even worse, there's no way to save it, so when Aero crashes and goes back to Vista Basic (more...)

Set the default to 0 or give us some way to save our UI settings like you could back in Windows 98.

Show total size of stuff in the recycle bin

Submitted by bandycj on June 8, 2008 to Annoyance, Usability

Windows 98 used to show the total size of stuff in the recycle bin on the status bar. XP took it down to just counting the size of the files but not folders. Vista has done away with it completely unless you ctrl+a.

Show a summary *somewhere* on the recycle bin window of the total size of the recycle bin.
