A question about Sidebar tiles in LH 4074

Post by Valerio »

Hello, I hope that someone in here could ask to these questions :)

1 - How can I enable the Sticky Notes tile, without installing Longhorn Reloaded and other (censored) like that?

2 - Is there a way to show the battery tile on VMware?

3 - Are there any other hidden tiles in Longhorn 4074?

Thanks in advance :)

1. Right-click and Add Gadgets would help.

2. Where did you see Battery Tile?

3. No, there aren't, if I remember correctly.

Right-click and Add Gadgets doesn't help, cause Sticky Notes doesn't appear on clean 4074 installation. It should be hidden.

Battery tile is present, but it doesn't show up: here's some pics from paul thurrot: http://winsupersite.com/site-files/wins ... _01_10.jpg

I believe there is no sticky notes tile in 4074. The one in the screenie is taken from an earlier build, it should be in this package:
http://dk.toastednet.org/iex_lh/Misc/St ... MonKey.zip
It appears to be quite buggy, though.

As for the battery tile, I've only seen it show up while running a notebook off battery, I think it only shows up when it's needed so as to not needlessly clutter up the sidebar.

edit:
In virtual machine settings\options\power there should be a "Report battery information to guest" checkbox that could prove useful.
