| 772874 | 2009-05-10 21:17:00 | I have XP on my desktops and Vista on my lappy I would like to get 7 when it comes out and put it on all of my machines. Here are 2 features which I would like it to do for me. Provide a directory and file printing option - this is so basic, but can only be done through Dos (dur) or by buying third party utility programs (dur x2) I would like Windows to keep my settings for my file display options. Eg If I set one folder to display files in list form I would like to be able to set another folder to display the list in icons or tiles etc. And I would like each folders settings to remain as I set them until I change them. The way windows keeps changing them all is really annoying. Once again its only a basic feature. What do you think about these two improvements ? Does anyone know if 7 will include these ? Have you any other items on your wishlists ? |

| 772876 | 2009-05-10 22:12:00 | You just set to whatever view then you go folder options>view>apply to all folders? And the dir command is enough for print/listing directories Windows7 really has made work more productive, unlike vista... Blam |

And the dir command is enough for print/listing directories Blam Yes but I do not want every folder with the same view ! ! I want some with details, some with icons etc And the dir command is not good enough ! ! Why should people resort to DOS which is 1980's technology and requires typing long folder paths ! |

| 772878 | 2009-05-11 00:11:00 | You are already able to select "remember each folders view settings" Its under Folder Options. They just need to fix it so it actually works. |

| 772879 | 2009-05-11 00:20:00 | There must be something wrong with your setup then if the folder wont hold its settings,. I have it set both on Vista & W7 the same way - using defaults. All of the documents are set to list, pictures set to Large Icons so I can see whats in each Folder - and several other folders set to small Icons. All open as they have been set. Have you adjusted each folder to how you want to see it by using the View slider? |

| 772882 | 2009-05-14 06:37:00 | i would like to see more support for multiple monitors eg: like being able to extend the taskbar over multiple monitors allthough it did pick up my second monitor straight away with out going into display settings and configuring it. I was using ultramon to achieve this and its a great product but looks ugly on win 7 as the taskbar has changed hoping they bring out a beta version for it soon |
