Network Folder / UPNP - totally not user friendly

What they could do, is ad a Music menu item - and that would be a cleaned up version of this. They could also make it extensible so iTunes, Zune, UPNP could all coexist there peacfully.

The green play icon on the left is due to an open copy of windows media player. What's it for? unknown. The other one is my Roku which doesn't have any music, just plays it. If I double click on that, it open media player which brings up a configure devices window. Really weird. I wish I could understand the logic behnind this but I can't.

"Between My Vista laptop, a WHS Box, a (Virtual) Vista WMC box, an Xbox 360, and a router; I have TEN devices showing up here."

The whole point to this post really - it's confusing. Network seems to be the right place to access music servers. For example, when I play music on the laptop, i double click the server media device icon.

Allow printscreen to copy just part of the screen or just a sub-window

Wrote on June 13, 2008, 5:32pm

I think it should be tied to some sort of nice clipping app like on OSX. Even the new snip tool maybe, although that needs work.

"Sidebar also doesn't remember its gadgets' setting when they are closed"
