Bug in the sidebar of Windows 7 RTM
Hello
I've been using RTM of Windows 7 Professional x 64 and I noticed a very annoying bug with the sidebar. I can reproduce 100% of the time by following these steps:
- Take any program window, and then drag the gadgets. You may notice that the gadgets remain behind the window.
- Press the 'Show Desktop' button in the lower right.
- Restore any window or opening a new program and now try and drag it on the gadgets. You may notice that the stay of gadgets are always on top of any other window.
The only way to solve this problem is by enabling / disabling the "Show desktop icons" option (context menu in the office) and the new.
I fixed it by restarting the computer... but it certainly isn't the only time when that happened.
It just happened again not too long (was to kill sidebar.exe restart it...)
Seems that something is randomly triggered.

There is a basic bug in the calculator of windows 7 (only in the standard display)
Equation 1 + 2 * 3 the answer 9.In fact, the answer should be 7.If we play a little, we discover that he is simply performing operations on from left to right, and failing to perform the multiplication and division before addition and subtraction.If I try the same equation in scientific display or programmer, you get the right answer (7)ConcerningGeoff ScottHello
The hierarchy in the basic calculator is from left to right is

How can I check my sites marked in the main window, not on the sidebar
I have all my addresses marked with a bookmark in the bookmarks menu, but they open in the sidebar not on the home page. I can change that.
Hello
Try: Button Firefox-> Bookmarks-> show all bookmarks
(if you have the menu bar (i.e. File, Edit etc) at the top left to try: bookmarks-> show all bookmarks)
This will not open them in a tab, but in a new window.
