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...

however if u dont selcet anything and then clear the search box it will take u back to the previous folder keeping the cursor in the search box .... bug or no bug as a user it shouldnt be happening coz il tell u how i came across this:

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:

2 Goof-ups in Windows Classic Theme of Vista:

1. Change the theme of your Windows Vista to "Windows Classic".
2. Open My Computer and look carefully at the "Back" and "Forward" buttons in Toolbar!



3. Now hover ur mouse to "Little Down Arrow" just after the "Forward" button.



What u see?

A. First thing is that the Back & Forward button are a little bit far from background image. They should be placed at 1 or 2 pixels less from left.

B. When we hover the mouse at "Little Down Arrow", the background image is mis-placed from its actual position and a little curve is displayed just before the addressbar.

These are very small issues and not very noticeable.

PS: Try it urself and u can understand what I'm talking about or just save the images at ur computer and look at them one by one.
