Control Box is missing from Windows Explorer windows

There is the little Control Box in the upper-left hand corner of Windows programs, but it is missing from Windows Explorer windows, although the Control Box menu still appears when you click the left corner of Windows Explorer window's title bar. This is very confusing!




To-do for Microsoft:
  • Put the little Control Box back to the upper-left hand corner of Windows Explorer windows.

Taskbar's Start menu is rounded incorrectly when taskbar is located on left, right or top

Taskbar's Start menu is rounded incorrectly when taskbar is located on left, right or top. Here is a screen shot.


When Taskbar is on top of the screen, the Start menu's bottom corners should be rounded, not the top corners.

To-do for Microsoft:
  • Make the Start menu's correct corners rounded.

Bring back "Stack by" menu item

"Stack by" menu item is missing from build 7057 as you can see from the screen shot below.


Why did they remove that neat feature in the first place?

To-do for Microsoft:
  • Bring back "Stack by" menu item to Windows Explorer!

Bring back "Edit|Invert selection" menu item

"Edit|Invert selection" menu item is missing from build 7057 as you can see from the screen shot below.


If I have a folder with 1000 files and I have to choose 999 files of them, do I just have to click them (with Ctrl) one by one? That'll take hours!

I would just like to click the file I don't want to choose and then I'd like to choose Edit|Invert selection. Bingo! 999 files selected! It's as simple as that.

Why did they remove that neat feature in the first place? Invert Selection has been with us since Windows 95, at least. Correct me, if I'm wrong.


To-do for Microsoft:
  • Bring back "Edit|Invert selection" menu item to Windows Explorer!
