First annoying things about Windows 7

When I first get my hands on Windows 7 when it was released to MSDN subscribers august 6th. Download was slow … probably because all started downloading it right away, so no biggy really.

The annoying things

• Enable Aero Peek – DARN i hate this … I know where my windows are, and this should be disabled by design. Then people who need to be more confused when changing windows can enable it. I HATE IT.

To disable it, goto:

1. Control Panel –> System
2. Advanced System Settings
3. The tab“Advanced”
4. Then the Settings bottom under “Performance” panel.
5. There the little bastard are … disabled it ftw …

Microsoft Messenger dont show up in the notifications area, but as a running program.

Do make it go into the notification area, do the following

1. start –> type “msnmsgr”, it will then show the file under the group “Programs”
2. Right click it and choose properties
3. In the popup, choose the “Compatibility” tab.
4. Under “Compatibility mode”, check the box “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and choose “Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)” in the drop down.

Now it back as it should be … nice and quiet in the notification area.
