Ability to change Windows Logon Wallpaper to any image

Submitted by Zerlot on June 12, 2008 to Annoyance

The first thing user see when they turn on or lock their computer is the default logon screen wallpaper. The logon default wallpaper really gets old and boring for other people. Ability to change the Windows logon wallpaper to any image would be awesome.

Allow user to change the Windows logon screen wallpaper to any image.

Programs and Features uninstall or change a program information

Submitted by Zerlot on June 9, 2008 to Annoyance

I can't make the information above the programs and features disappear. We don't need to see the information since most of us already know how to uninstall or change a program. The information make the UI look bad.

Remove the uninstall or change a program information and Make the user click the help icon in the corner instead.

Taskbar and Start Menu Properties

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

The start Menu setting is mix up everywhere and wasted space. Classic Start menu is still available

Clean up the start menu properties and remove the classic start menu or move it elsewhere to add space for other settings. look at the "after" pics edited with Windows Paint. it's much cleaner

The group similar taskbar button menu does not align with the taskbar button and also look at the down arrow it's all the way to the edge.
