Yeah 1st one is definitely a Goof-up and now I got it correct whet u were trying to say about ur 2nd point.  Actually its not BUG coz as soon as we clear the searchbox, it automatically takes us back to the previous folder, in which we searched. Thats why searchbox is no more active. U can check it by clicking on the Back & forward buttons...

OK guys Its time for another BUG.  1. Right-click on taskbar and select " Toolbars -> Desktop". 2. A new toolbar " Desktop" will be added to taskbar just before System Tray. 3. Right-click on taskbar again and uncheck the option " Lock the Taskbar". 4. Double-click on " Desktop" toolbar placeholder and you'll be amazed to see that all desktop icons are showing in this toolbar even you have disabled mots of them from your desktop. 5. Now try to delete any icon from the toolbar. Cool. You have successfully deleted it but just click on the arrow and you'll be surprised that it has come back. So 1st BUG:
=========Why all desktop icons are showing in toolbar irrespective of desktop settings? 2nd BUG:
=======Why the icons come back after deleting them? Its the most irritating BUG, I have found.

Now thats an interesting thing, which I found accidentally today.
As we all know "Dialog boxes" don't contain Maximize, Minimize buttons. They only hv "Close" button. And thats why we can't maximize them. If we right-click on the titlebar of a dialog box, we get only 2 options in context menu:
Move
Close
But for my surprise, today when I opened "Browse" dialog box in RUN, I found that it can be maximized even its a dialog box. If u'll double-click on its titlebar, it'll be maximized. (But not fully maximized, the border will be still visible). And also u'll get an option "Maximize" in context menu of titlebar.
So its an interesting thing, which exists in Vista. I think since Browse dialog box looks similar to Windows Explorer and has same properties, thats why it can be maximized irrespective of other dialog boxes.
PS: It happens for all Browse/Save/Open dialog boxes in all windows applications, like Notepad, etc.

One more interesting thing. 
Open regedit and goto:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Now u'll see in right-side pane that Microsoft wants to tell u something.
There will be a String value with the name "!Do not use this registry key and its value will be:
"Use the SHGetFolderPath or SHGetKnownFolderPath function instead"
I think its a thing, which Microsoft wants to tell s/w developers. 
[Edit]
Well guys. I found this, which contains interesting info why this key was put into registry:

And now the biggest goof-up.
Open Windows Explorer in Windows Classic theme and guess what? The "Up" button will not be visible (it should be there just after the "Forward" button). But if u'll move ur mouse at that place u can see the tool tip "Recent Pages".
So the button is there but is not visible. A BIG goof-up. And if u look carefully, the buttons "Back" and "Forward" are correctly placed in this condition but as soon as u'll open any drive or anything, they will be mis-placed.

1. Right-click on My Computer icon on Desktop and select "Properties".
2. Now move the cursor at the location pointed in the following screenshot:
What u see? The mouse cursor will show "Hand" pointer like there is a link. 
The reason behind it, I think it points to "Change product Key" link, which is surely a goof-up.
