Tricks
Make taskbar usable
The new taskbar is great and new, but it's not as easy to use as you might expect. There is no names on the labels/icons. This turns on the application and window names.
- Right-click tastbar, pick properties
- Under 'Button grouping' to 'Group when taskbar is full'
Disable folder types
When a folder contains music, video, or pictures, Windows will automatically switch the view of the folder to show relevant meta-data. This can be an annoyance some times.
Create a new text-file and paste the following into it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;This registry script has been made by Vishal Gupta - AskVG.com [-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell] "FolderType"="NotSpecified"
Run it and the change will happen instantly. If the folder already has a hidden Desktop.ini file, this might not work (delete it first).
