Also goes to show that Microsoft does seem to be listening to feedback...

 

my laptop running build 9860 just prompted me to reboot to install the prieview,its almost finished ,says getting things ready .,not sure what the out come will be .

 

Hmmm, this could be interesting! *Smile

 

Hmmm, this could be interesting! *Smile its taking a while to finish it presently at "setting up a few more things 58%

I was just reading a post on here when the big blue bar went across the screen to reboot to install ,it said now or later I chose now

 

nothing changed ,it seems it did a restore or something ,some app that I had installed are gone and some that I had removed are back

 

To remove Search icon:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"EnableProactive"=dword:00000000

To remove TaskView icon:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MultitaskingView\AllUpView]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

To get them back:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"EnableProactive"=-

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MultitaskingView\AllUpView]
"Enabled"=-

Just tried and they work.

 

I would like removing both Search and Task View with out doing and registry tricks.
It's nice to hear that option will be in the finished version.

I would like a way to change the time it takes when hovering over a icon on the Taskbar to display the name.
Without a registry trick.

 

I didn't mind them being there...
What does irritate me is that fact that the search has a current social/news events display.

This is supposed to be an operating system, not a social network like facebook, twitter, or tumblr. Bing and the App store already offer with these types of outlets. I think it is very inappropriate, and makes the OS seem shoddy.

 

I'm pretty sure these are the reg entries.

If you've hidden the Search icon but are still getting search results in the Bing UI from the Start Menu search bar, you need to turn off 'Getting search results from Bing' in zPCSettings, NOT the regular PCSettings.
