Guest Richard Miller Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Can't anyone read what the question was? It wasn't about the red x in the upper right corner to close the window. In windows 2000 and windows xp, there was an x icon on the windows explorer tool bar. Using that, you could delete the currently selected file by simply clicking on the x. You didn't have to right click and all that crap. When are the idiots at M$ going to quit screwing things up and leave well enough alone. As you can probably tell, not having the "delete" x available in vista kinda ticks me off also. Kathy wrote: delete button on taskbar 22-Jul-07 Is there a way to put a delete button on the taskbars? I hate having to pull drop down menu every time I want to delete something. And I don't like using the keyboard if I'm already using the mouse. Thanks.

Richard Miller, First - why did you insist on changing the subject line of the original posting? Extremely bad form, IMHO. Second - why did you respond to a posting that originally ended in early August of 2007? Seems a bit of a strange thing to do. I have to agree with Peter Foldes on this. This only seems to occur when some external forum (egghead in this cases) synchs up and someone reads parts of it instead of all of it and decided to comment. Amazingly - this person responded TWICE to the same old message and ... they don't even bother to give an answer. They just complain. Guess someone might want a viable answer? This: http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/ Combined with this: FileTools plugin pack at http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/plugins Would give the OP (from 2.5 years ago) and the late responder what they desire. Google - it works wonders for those willing to put in the small bit of effort for what they actually want in Windows Vista.

Guest Russ SBITS.Biz [SBS-MVP] Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Dear Richard, When you reply to a post in http://forums.techarena.in or http://www.eggheadcafe.com Or Other Website. It shows up as a broken thread on a Microsoft Public newsgroup and usually it's old outdated. These sites. http://www.eggheadcafe.com http://forums.techarena.in/ Copies Posts from Microsoft Break/Fix SBS newsgroup. So Any responding or posting means that 99% of the world will not know what you are responding to. (Since it will be a broken thread on the original source.) In your current post we may have no reference to what you are talking about. and or it may be too old to even give use proper respect. If you avoid Techarena.in Or eggheadcafe.com Forum and post directly to the Microsoft newsgroup you will benefit from threads not getting broken. And a lot of misunderstanding. You can either use a NNTP News Reader (Example Outlook Express) And set it up with: NewsServer: msnews.microsoft.com Server does not require login Please "MUNG" your email address and change your name. Please post with a NEW Descriptive Topic of what the issue is (Other than HELP or Urgent) All the posts here are urgent. In addition do not reference Other posts and keep with this thread until you have it solved. or there are no more replies. (Do not start a new thread every question on the same topic) If you wish a "WEB" Based interface with NO Ad's you can go directly to this forum with. http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx? It has the feature to notify you on a reply also. To Search for issues in the past the easiest way is to Google them. http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?hl=en&sel=usenet%3Dmicrosoft.public.windows This has way more information than that website will ever have and help you to stay connected. I hope you find this information helpful.
