    I also cut the tags off my mattress.. sue me and you must know this has gone to court by american sponsored lawyers. The judges say it's not unlike borrowing a library book. They will only enforce it if someone is making money at it. Like if I started to produce music CDs and selling them etc.

    I heard the gun registry is going bye bye too, laws can disappear too.

    Yea thats what ive said before, the whole taskbar looks like vista taskbar and kde taskbar merged.

    You thought they could have given a child artist some LSD (xp taskbar) and have a new kind of taskbar ...



    Lol at them still having floppy support. If you have a dual core system, with 2GB + of memory, you probably wont have a floppy disk or drive.

    Nowadays usb drives are cheaper than buying floppies

    Colossus,

    If you click the icon on the taskbar and pull up you will be able to select for another instance of the application to open as well as see recently opened files listed. For more tips and tricks when using Windows 7 please go here: http://bit.ly/aCkWC

    lol, what Colossus hates is the one thing I love. It took some getting used to but I love the new taskbar. My most used stuff like IE, Outlook, OneNote, RDP, command prompt, notepad, media player, etc., they are all in the same spot every time. If I need a new instance, I right click and open. I don't know, I feel much more productive with it since I normally have so much open at once.

    I added the Quick Launch toolbar back. I don't know why it isn't available by default.
    I can get 25 icons in a 1 inch square piece of task bar real estate.

    Agreed.

    Right clicking and Open is too much effort. I normally have about 20+ applications open and dozens of tabs in FireFox and IE.

    Unlike shortcuts/favorites, the quick launch icons can be displayed as miniatures without text.

    How come there isn't an option to right click / open on current monitor?

    I hate when I go to open an app and it's on the 2nd monitor that is not even on.

    Don't forget to unlock the toolbar so you can relocate Quick Launch.
    Also right click on Quick Launch and uncheck "Show Text" .
