'Desktop' in file picker dialog cannot be moved

Submitted by rm20010 on July 2, 2008 to Annoyance

The 'Desktop' link in Favorite Links appears only in file picker dialogs (open, save). Yet for some reason the link itself cannot be moved, while the others (including Computer) can.

"Bump" the other links if you want to move the Desktop label. For instance, to get it to the top, move everything below it one by one.

Insert some code to stop Vista from going into standby when shutting down.

ClearType settings are not consistent

Submitted by rm20010 on June 3, 2008 to Aesthetics, Bug

Even if the user chooses not to use ClearType, certain text strings in Explorer remain enabled with ClearType. Examples: the taskbar buttons, Explorer sidebar, Explorer address bar.

None, other than force a user to get used to ClearType.
