Your Windows Vista Wish Lists

Back in our October print issue, I published a personal wish list of mundane little things I hoped that Microsoft would address in Windows Vista. I invited readers to send in their own hopes, dreams, and ambitions for Vista--and lots of folks wrote in.

Here are a bunch of those requests, in no particular order:

From Barb Valdez:
I could never understand why Microsoft eliminated when they introduce WIN2000 and I think XP. The scandisk utility. I hate the way it works now: you have to reboot and it does one from the initial logon and does not give you any kind of log, none that I have ever had any luck tracking down, as to weather the drive had errors or bad sectors. I know some people thought this was a useless utility but I used it quite often and I hate the way it is now interfaced with the newer Windows.

From Alex Aitougan:
Actually, I'd love to see something gone - the file extensions. How difficult is it to read the file header and to determine its type? For one, I have to deal with a bunch of Mac users who supply me with an endless stream of unidentified files. Also, there are file extensions (granted - unusual) that make no sense whatsoever. Like a ubiquitous (in my universe) .img extension (proprietary Positron Emission Tomography file formats from different vendors). Okay, I don't expect Windows to figure out if my .img is coming from Ecat or Concorde - that's my "personal problem" but Word, Excel, Photoshop... Come on!

From Ralph Dreyer:
It would really be nice if Windows Vista would store every piece of information that a user saved on his PC -- word documents, spreadsheets, powerpoints, etc. and his outlook tasks and emails and favorites-all under his user file in documents and settings. Then all a person needs to backup daily or weekly is his user folder, and when a co-worker or spouse gets the hot new machine and their old one is better than what you are using, all you need to do is create your user name on that machine and restore from your backup tape. Presto -- when you log in on the coworker's old machine you have everything just as it was on your old machine only now on the better machine. Of course, your spouse or coworker can do a similar thing getting up and running on their new machine.

From John Fretwell:
A suggestion I would like to make to Microsoft is to remove "Personalized Menus" altogether. Admittedly, it's only a few seconds, but it frustrates me to no end having to wait to access a program that I only use occasionally. If removing "Personalized Menus" is not an option, how about ONE place to turn them off. Currently, I have to turn them off in the OS, and in Word, and in Outlook; three separate places for one irritating "feature".

Two things from Bill Fleener:
1. The default, or an easily-found option, that would keep the Start button greyed out until everything in my boot-up process is loaded and working. I'm tired of trying to guess when the hard drive light is going to quit flashing, and my computer is ready to go to work.

2. A fully-functional "hourglass". Even with something like Microsoft Outlook, I can click on the icon, and nothing seems to be happening, so I don't know whether Windows "got" my click or not. Then, as Outlook is loading, the hourglass switches off and back on a couple of times. Tell Vista to start the hourglass when it gets my click, and keep it visible until the program I want is fully ready to go.

Several things from Paul Hemsley:
1) I would love Vista to bring back some of the functionality of its ancestors, including a better (& faster as always) defragger with options for defragging space or files and well as the whole drive. Ironically we had this when drives and files were small and it wasn't much use, but then it was removed when drives and files got larger!

2) I would like to see some decent copy options when dragging files over in Explorer. - ie - 'Write over all' or 'Add but do not write over unless older', combinations etc

3) An OS that can line up icons on a desktop in alphabetical order! - Why is XP unable to understand a simple alphabet!

4) For Apps - Why do I have to click several buttons to remove crap such as 'review logs' from my screen before I can view a document clearly? easier removal of such 'functionitis' would be good all round.

5) A slick version option for perfomance would be good. XP does this for some things, but there will always be tweakers for others, which could be incorporated.

A couple from D. Danielle:
1. I used to hate the BAT language because it was so primitive, compared say to the Unix shell or EXEC2 and REXX on the mainframe, but since Win 3.1, I have missed it. So, my number 1 wish is for a batch language for Windows with a focus on processes.

2. Get rid of the registry or re-design it. Obviously, this is impossible since it is fundamental and is already in Vista. Somehow, with every version of DOS/Windows, Microsoft has made management harder not easier. In DOS, we had to deal with different strategies by different vendors, but often there were enough vendors around so one could find a product that would do what one wanted.

The .INI files were frustrating, especially the ones that weren't ASCII, but at the very least there was a distinction between hardware and software, a fundamental distinction that, if it existed in Vista, would make it easier to set up a new computer.

From Bruce Eldridge:
My desktop usually sports at least 50 shortcuts, most of which I actually use. I have always wanted some stable way to organize them into categories. I know you can move them around the way you want them, but a lot of software one installs puts more icons on the desktop, and then your beautifully organized scheme is all screwed up. Even without that, unknown gremlins move things around and otherwise ruin the neat rows you create. In past versions, Windows had a "theme" that was actually a multi-pane window, and I used that. Alas, it was not stable, and the things still got moved around.

From Jeremy Kabelis:
The windows of my dreams contains much of what you were saying in the Oct. issue. It would also have the ability to group all those annoying updates and patches in the add/remove window into one. And I would REALLY like to know what "security update - kblabhlablablah" is without going to microsoft's website and searching for an hour and a half. Perhaps they might also make the "remember each folder's view" to actually function. I like to have picture folders as thumbnails but everything else with details. The folders never remember anything. From Jonathan Warshay:
One thing that annoys me is that Windows cannot keep track of a user's settings in Display properties. My children like to put the resolution way up high, while I prefer 1024x768. We have to keep resetting it because the setting is global rather than user based. Perhaps Microsoft can change that or create an applet to take care of it.

From Michael Kane:
Yes! My suggestion (which I sent to MS in '99) is to allow for reordering the open programs in the taskbar.

I like to arrange my taskbar in a particular way, and if one of the first programs crashes, I have to close and restart all of the later programs if I want things reordered correctly.

From Stephen Lawnick:
Regarding the Start button, which I'm not crazy about, I think the solution should be simple. Microsoft should incorporate some sort of right click (or middle click) menu customization; much like what existed on NextStep machines, or what's now available through Stardock products (among others). I now use a utility called PaneKiller, which has become an indispensable and perfect answer for me. When I click the middle button anywhere on the desktop, it kicks out a menu that I can set up any way I want. I have submenus with applications, utilities, and project folders. Also on the menu is My Computer, which kicks out submenus with the hard drives, which kick out menus with the various drive contents. I can drill down as deep as I want quickly and easily.

Multiple ideas from Will Beuche:
- PRINTABLE FOLDER CONTENTS:
Users of Windows Explorer should be able to print the list of files within folders. Simply highlight the folder, then right-click and select to print (or export) the list of file names that are within that folder.

- WARN ABOUT LONG FILE NAMES:
Windows Explorer should softly highlight any file names that are greater than 64 characters in length and advise the user that the file names are too long to backup onto DVD/CD (even though they will work fine within Windows).

- IMPROVE STABILITY OF THUMBNAILS PREVIEWS IN WINDOWS EXPLORER:
Vista should fix Windows Explorer's tendency to spaz out when it is trying to produce thumbnails of many photos within folders. (I've got a gig of RAM, but even after reducing the quality setting of these thumbnail previews, my XP still fails to paint all the thumbnails when a folder has more than a few hundred pics.)

- IN THE CONTEXT MENU OF WINDOWS EXPLORER, "DELETE" SHOULD NOT BE IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO "RENAME"!

- WALLPAPERS SHOULD BE ANIMATED like on Macs. That one of the forest that turns from Spring to Fall over the course of the day is nice.

From Ellen Finkelstein:
One is that I'm constantly having to reset the View in Explorer to Details and also in the Open dialog boxes of Windows applications. I switched constantly between sorting files by name and by date modified. In order to do that I need the Details view. I'd say that I choose View>Details a dozen times a day. I'm not sure if Windows can control the display of dialog boxes in applications, but I sure would like to have that Details setting stick. I've used the Folder Options dialog box to apply the Details view to all folders, but somehow I'm still resetting it often, perhaps mostly in applications.

Then, when I choose Date Modified, it sorts by earliest file first! So I ALWAYS have to click that column twice!

Also, every once in a while, just for spite, an Explorer folder decides to display only two columns instead of the usual 4. No idea why, although it seems to be related to music files. Drives me nuts.

Finally, the Control Panel seems to always default to a column width that's too narrow for the icon names and sorts by the Comments column, which is useless.

From Maury King:
When you?re moving files & there are duplicates, you get a Confirm File Replace dialog box. Choices are Yes, Yes to All, No & Cancel. Howbout a No to All?

When you use msconfig to open up the System Configuration Utility several of the tabs, namely Startup have loooooong file paths. You can?t maximize this box. You are stuck with it the size Microsoft wants not the size I want. It would sure be easier to see the long paths if that dialog box could be maximized. This has seemed a no brainer to me for years.

From Mark Heller:
As per your request for additional ideas, one that I recently ran up against leads me to request a revision to the Recycle Bin. Presently, because of the way Windows implements its RB, it is very hard for someone in Java to delete a file and for it to go into the trash. In MacOS, one can rename the file into a fixed directory location. Windows isn't so simple. Yes, there is a JNI way of doing it, at the expense of platform independence, but if the operating system handled it differently, it should be possible for developers to have an easier time to work with this common feature and handle it with native Java. I know they really only want it to be an explorer feature, but the user sees it as the operating systems trash and therefore should be coded as such in my opinion.

Whew. Lots of good ideas there--got any more to add to Microsoft's to-do list?

Comments

Microsoft needs to improve its Bluetooth API. I currently own a laptop, but uses the Windows XP SP1 Bluetooth driver; and to use my Bluetooth headsets, I have to plug an alternative Bluetooth via USB because the Bluetooth client with Windows XP doesn't support profiles.

As a heavy laptop user, we all know our Hard Drive is pretty slow.

Adding on to Bill Fleener's "real working hourglass", I think adding an icon showing disk drive activity near the taskbar would be brilliant. Let the user interpret themselves if their computer can run more program by glancing the icon.

PS: the Grey-out icon is a good idea. Windows Vista say they will continue to finish loading background programs while the user idle during their use, why not give user the option to "grey out till PC is ready to work" or "Use Windows Vista's load background program while idle" technology."

An automatic check of destinations for enough free space when moving or creating files, and a warning of if there isn't enough space. I can't make it clear how many times I've forgotten to check if the destination drive had enough space in it before moving a large amount of files, only to have it fail halfway through.

I certainly like a lot of these ideas and could probably come up with some of my own. The only problem is, will Microsoft actually look at any of these and do something with them. It seems like they have their own agenda and don't care what the users think or want.

That "print a list of files in a folder" idea would be like a dream. Yes there's the registry edit to allow for printing from the right click menu, but it's a command prompt based option, which causes foreign characters such as kanji to not show up. Makes it difficult to print folder content listings, even with the brand name directory listing programs.

My kingdom for a window that can easily render foreign characters without language packs AND make them recognizeable in a printed directory chart.

I actually like the way scandisk works now better. It sometimes took gymnastics like booting in safe mode to complete a test, so the ability to run it on reboot is a big convenience in my opinion.

File extensions are still remarkably useful considering that they are not regulated, but only determined by convention and the awareness of the vendors. I still rely on them.

An extended set of keyboard shortcuts would be very handy for me. I won't use the whole set, but I would like a bigger set to choose from. One area that is particularly lacking is manipulation of minimized apps. I would like to close them as easily as I close an active window with alt-F4.

It seems to me that most of the requests are user error related things. The 'no more file extensions' guy in particular. I mean come on, default XP settings don't even display file extensions. And trust me, we InofTech people NEED file extensions to do our job.

However, additional copy/cut & paste features is my personal revision desire.

And the registry, it will be a fantastically interesting day when they get rid of the bastard that is the registry.

More keyboard shortcuts would be nice, preferably with the windows key as that goes highly unused (though 'windows key' + E is the mainstay of my IT existance). Of course, most users don't know many keyboard shortcuts now either.

I also wonder why they hide quick keys by default now, were the underlined letters all that noticeable? People are never going to learn them, if they can't see them (and no one knows to press Alt to see them). It's too bad because they speed up menu navigation by a factor of 100 or more for commonly used stuff.

How about a dual-sorting function in Explorer, such as something like "first sort by date, THEN sort by file type"

And in Explorer folders containing video or audio/MP3 (specifically My Music folder) a way to list a single file vertically rather than all of them horizontally would allow you to see ALL of the details like album, bitrate, artist, title, year, composer... ... you can only see two or three when shown horizontally... and in that vertical view, just give a arrow forward and back or whatever to page through them.

First of all, I know the registry is a highly controversial issue, but in my job as a PC tech for a medium-sized telecommunications company, I practically live in the registry sometimes, and I can't imagine not having the registry in order to fix and tweak stuff that there's no real GUI for. Just the other day I had to come up with some registry hacks that force two different versions of Sun's Java software to coexist on the same machine for accessing different web-based programs some people in my company use, versions that WILL NOT coexist peacefully through any normal GUI-based manipulation. As for file extensions, believe me, you do NOT wanna get rid of those. It bugs the heck out of me that MS now has them turned off by default (for easy renaming I guess). File extensions are one of the core components of file management in Windows, so you can't just rip them out cold turkey, especially if you want to maintain backwards compatibility. And like the guy said, if you don't like extensions, just turn them back off. If anything, they need to make it much easier to modify the file extension properties.

Now for my list, where do I begin? This could take a while. Yes, I want to be able to move taskbar buttons, and even system tray icons for that matter. I think it would be cool to have one-click popup-menu icon "groups" as a file management feature. It would be like a folder, except instead of opening the folder in its own window, a little menu thing would pop up. That would do wonders for desktop icon management. I agree with the multimedia wallpaper concept, as well as printing folder contents, worthwhile defragger (ironically, the Windows Me defrag was the best MS one ever), and a much more advanced process management tool (Task Manager = pathetic). A mass-renamer tool wouldn't hurt either. I also miss the F7 and F8 Move/Copy commandline functions of Windows 3.1 (much faster than clicking through a folder tree structure if you know exactly where the files are going). Oh, one thing I really want to see come back is the usefulness of the Add/Remove Windows components feature. Back in the Windows 9x days, you had tons of options to install or uninstall. Windows XP has just about zilch, and the stuff that you'd want to remove doesn't even show up, even though it's a known fact that it can be removed. I don't like useless features being stuff down my hard drive's throat. Another thing that bugs me is that programs often appear to hang while they're waiting on data to be transmitted over a network connection, even to the point of preventing the program to be minimized and restored. This is stupid, because lots of people have broadband connections and don't have the little blinking-lights icon turned on to see network activity. The software should be smart enough to not entirely freeze up while that's going on. And for that matter, NEWSFLASH people: I HATE programs that will NOT let you minimize them. Oh sure, you can hit the "Show Desktop" thing to get rid of them temporarily, but click on one thing and they zip right back up, taking over your entire screen. And finally, STOP ENABLING STUPID NEW "FEATURES" BY DEFAULT. Just make them easily accessible and let people find them themselves and see if they like them. Whenever I install a fresh copy of XP, I have to spend about 5 minutes turning off all the crappy "features" that MS apparently thought everybody in the world would love.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the deal with chkdsk (which replaces scandisk) is that NTFS is handled much differently from FAT32, so the file system apparently cannot be safely repaired while it's mounted. As for the log file, you'll find it in Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Event Viewer, and it will be an entry either under Application or System (can't remember which for sure) with a source of Winlogon I think. That's where all system logs are handled, but it's neither convenient nor user-friendly to the average user.

Oh, another thing I just thought of quick (sorry this is getting so long-winded). Languages. You would not believe (unless you've tried this yourself) the rings of fire you have to jump through to enable viewing fonts in certain non-English languages. For instance, Japanese. You have to click through numerous configuration boxes, enable all kinds of weird options that make no sense, and possibly even have to pop in your Windows XP CD to install some of the necessary support software. On top of all that, you have to reboot the system to have the changes take effect, and when it's all said and done, it messes up the looks of certain window components sometimes. Honestly, why can't there be a simple option like "click here to enable Japanese system fonts" or something? And for that matter, you shouldn't have to reboot for something as simple as switching to different fonts. I'm sure there's more to it than that, but I can't help feeling like the process is way over-complicated.

Address bar in File Explorer is basically useless, either remove the address bar or allow me to type *.txt and list all txt and only txt files in list. ( Currently if I type *.txt, it will show yahoo.com's home page :-( ).

Search function in File explorer is very confusing, when i first time use it, i don't know that "All files and folders" actually means "in current folder".

Add a favourite folder in standard Open File dialog would be very convenient, like they do in Gimp File Open.

Dear Mr. Gates

Please ... don't release Vista UNTIL ... the new File System is finished and debugged. I know the marketing types want to rush this unfinished product out the door without FS to justify their salaries, but by now you must know the pain and suffering you have to endure releasing unfinished products to market.

I can wait till 2008 if I have to but if you release Vista without FS or as an add-on later ... forget it. NOT IN MY COMPANY.

Save yourself from repeating past aggravations. DON'T RELEASE VISTA TILL THE FS IS FINISHED!

I agree with the already mentioned things:
1: after boot up only signal "ready" when completely ready!
2: i don't want all those programs to put themselves on my desktop or in my startmenu - make them stop! They're like little naughty kids asking if they may steal an apply from my garden and i don't want to tell them "no" all the time - i want them to stay away!
3: file list printing.
4: some decent and ways of organizing my desktop that stays the same way!
5: being able to move taskbar-items around.
6: system tray "taming"
7: better "visibility" - programs like tweakXP lets me correct lots of small grievances but i want windows itself to allow me that without accessing the registry.

And my own new stuff:
A: the pop-up when copying or moving files has a "yes to all" and a "yes" and a "no" button - i want a "no to all" button!

I also want to be able to customize whether i copy or move a file when i drag it into another folder.

B: week numbers in the calendar!

C: Advanced batch file renaming - it's a bit difficult to use and much too primitive! My music is forexample done this way: "Artist - Title.filetype": capital first letter in every word, blank space, visible filetype. I want Windows to correct my files according to stuff like that.

D: support for .rar files

E: skinning - im afraid to use the stardock software but i LOVE the possibilities! I want microsoft to make Vista officially skinnable. The "themes" as they exixt in xp are ugly and not customizable enough.

F: a 1x1 inch field on the taskbar that has the permanent function as "show desktop". I always have to sneak my mouse down there somewhere and carefully right clik and "show desktop" - make that easier for me to do.

G: Desktop background - use it's possibilities:
G1: now i use Webshots to rotate different wallpapers every 15 minutes, why isn't that inbuilt in windows?
G2: mac's fading wallpaper looks cool! i want that!
G3: the "active desktop" concept is awesome but far too ignored! I tried a virtual aquarium which was pretty cool, but it shoould also be used for RSS panes (no the sidebar won't be enough!) or windows media player video windows s? my video is "stuck" to the back and stuff can be moved over it as i please.

H: i hope you make the sidebar expandable/draggable so i can more than one row of gadgets, should i desire so.

I: The icon beside the person that has logged in should be able to be video as well - perhaps with a max. in length or filesize. The prefabricated videos could be a flower in the wind, a mechanical toy, a spinning wheel, a running stream, etc.

J: Calculator must have unit conversions! Preferably monetary conversions as well if the user accepts retrieving them by internet.

(and make it look cooler than from the present screenshots - it still looks crap even if you skin it with the new aero glass)

K: When filebrowsing up to "desktop" it's far to difficult on XP to get one to "my computer", a big fat link needs to be placed at the top

L: when viewing a folder in "details" mode in XP, folders doesn't show their size. I want them to!

When selecting several folders I also want to see the cummulative size of the selected.

M: Looking at the screenshots of Vista, note the very top left, with the "minimize, maximise, close" buttons, how those buttons are half as tall as they are wide: they are rectangular instead of quadratic even though there's room for them to be quadratic (equal length on all sides) - i want them to be quadratic because it's easier to click them then!

When copying files Windows will abort with a dialog that contains a lonely OK button if it encounters an error and very little info about the cause (the displayed path is usually truncated as often the error is due to paths that are too long; how they are created in the first place is beyond me).
When you are trying to backup the files on a dieing HD, or even a good one for that matter, it would be nice if Windows gave the option to continue as best it can and report the problem files in a log. Even DOS had that somewhat flimsy functionality with the famous ?Abort, Retry, Fail? prompt.

I completely agree with a few of the ideas expressed.

1) Moving taskbar items. Not all that important, but some freedom that I would enjoy.

2) Giving the size of folders in explorer. Currently at my job, my branch of the company is running off of a server with a 17 GB hard drive(company doesn't want to spend money on an upgrade). There are roughly 75 users with personal space on the server, plus the part of the drive I use to make apps available for network install. The hd is so full that I have to move folders to my PC's hd when I want to move any file greater than 1 GB onto the server, temp or otherwise. It would be a lot easier if I could just see which folders had the most data in them and temporarily move them to my hd. That way I wouldn't have to right-click on every one to see it's size.

3) Please do something about WMP. It is sad that a $15 cd player can be halfway through the first track before WMP realizes I have put an audio disc in the cd-rom drive.
