Any complaints about Windows 7?

I'm enjoying it for the most part but do have a couple complaints.

Folder views are not remembered and cannot be unique to an individual folder. If you choose 'List' view for example, every subfolder contained therein will be 'List' view.

Cannot enqueue songs in Foobar. If I right-click a song, I am only given the option to queue it in WMP.
Edit: I managed to get the context menu for FLAC files, but I still can't get it with MP3s.

Edit: Dammit this is the fix for Vista, I'll look to see what I can find for Windows 7



Fix for Folder View

Step 1: Click on Start Orb Windows Vista Start Orb. Type regedit in start search and then click regedit to run registry editor.

Step 2: Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell

Step 3: In the right pane, right click, point to New, then click on DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it BagMRU Size.

Step 4: Now in the right pane, right click on BagMRU Size, Click Modify.

Step 5: Check the Decimal and type 20000 and click OK.

Step 6: Restart your PC and you are done.

Yea, I was just fixing to post that that didn't do anything. :unsure:

You seem to be on the right track though. I'll keep looking as well.
