I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7 Ultimate yesterday (Andy bought it as a student for $10). Since I’ve been using Vista for over a year, switching to Windows 7 really wasn’t that big of deal. Switching from XP to Vista was a lot more painful. A few things annoyed me however.
I have always used taskbar shuffle 64 bit. Normally I could middle click on the start bar to close a program. In Windows 7, if you middle click on a program, you open a new instance of it. That’s so dramatically different from what I am used to, very annoying. With taskbar shuffle 64 bit, if you middle click on the preview, it closes the program.
While browsing the forum of taskbar shuffle, I read this thread talking about Windows 7. One of the poster wrote this awesome taskbar tweaker. I may now disable the preview and middle click to close programs.

In addition, I hate how the show desktop icon is now all the way to the right.

Ha that’s awesome. I’ve been avoiding the jump to 7… is it really worth it?
I have nothing against it. Just like I did not have anything against Vista. I think my laptop does perform faster with Windows 7.
Up!
YES! I have been looking for this for a long time. I have no idea why you’d want to spawn a new window this way.
It’s worth noting that you have to keep the program open for it to work, unlike some other tweakers.
Yes. I wish it works better than that. I just created a shortcut of that program in my startup folder.
