To publish some of the applications, you could right click on the Start button, choose Open All Users' from the menu. Create the shortcut for the applications in the popup folder.
Some applications are excluded by default, to enable them,
1. launch registry editor by pressing Win+R, and type "regedit" without quotes.
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Virtual Machine\VPCVAppExcludeList
3. Search for the application and remove the entire entry
4. Restart XP and this application will be published to W7!
Seems like Microsoft decided to continue the Vista way for unicode programs, so only one unicode language will be supported at any time by going to the settings for system locale.
For me, i'm running CJK programs concurrently, so i need another solution.
The ancient old AppLocale still works for Windows 7. To install,
1. Press the windows key
2. Type 'cmd' without the quotes, press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
3. The above steps will launch the command prompt in administrator mode, the UAC will prompt you, permit it to continue
4. Navigate to the directory where the apploc.msi is locate and start the setup :D
The following link is a patch to the AppLocale to remove the nag screen

It seems like the preview thumbnails take forever to popup, here's something you could do to speed it up.
1. Press Win + R
2. Type "regedit" without the quotes
3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse
4. Modify the value of MouseHoverTime from 400 to around 100 or less
Restart the computer and you are done :D
Yea, the Omnia is capable of recording videos at widescreen format, 5:3 ratio. Although not standard ratio, this resoluation allows the recorded video to be played in full screen
1. Use a registry editor, go to HKCU/Software/Samsung/Camera
2. Change the value of VideoSize to 1653, and you can now record 400x240 videos :D
1652=640x480
1653=400x240
1654=320x240
1655=176x144
Note: you will need to go to video mode at least once before you could see the registry entries. Changing the setting in the camera will set it back to the original resolution. In addition, the camera setting does not reflect the new resolution.
Thanks andylyf for the tips :)

After so many years, Microsoft finally do it right. The home networking is much more simplified and easier compared to the previous version found in other windows.
Hook up all the computers and turn them on. Windows 7 will automatically detect whether there's an available Homegroup. Joining the network is as easy as entering the password on other computers and you can straightaway begin sharing files :D
Asking for password to join homegroup
Other computers appearing on the homegroupThere is still one issue with the homegroup, it is not compatible with earlier version of windows. To share files with older windows, users still have to go through the hard way. It seems like they are taking 2 steps forward, and 1 step back.
Hopefully Microsoft will iron this out before the retail release.
