We have posted about 3 annoying bugs which we found in Windows 7 builds while beta testing:
[Windows 7 Bug] Items Reappear After Deleting From Navigation Pane in Windows Explorer
[Windows 7 Bug] User Picture Disappears from Start Menu
Funny Windows Media Player Bug Found in Windows 7 Build 7057
All above mentioned bugs have been fixed in the newer builds but now a new bug has arrived. It was found in Windows 7 build 7057.
You can re-create this bug using following steps:
1. Unlock the taskbar by right-click on the taskbar and uncheck "Lock the taskbar" option.
2. Now resize the taskbar and drag it to the maximum height. Now click on Startmenu and user picture will disappear from the startmenu:
3. That's OK. Since there is not much space available on the screen, that's why Windows doesn't show the user picture. But now resize the taskbar again and set it to normal height.
Now the bug appears, Windows still doesn't show the user picture in startmenu even though we have restored the taskbar height:
4. To restore the user picture, you'll need to drag-n-drop the taskbar to left, right or top of the screen and then restore it back on bottom. Now user picture will start showing in startmenu:
Weird...

In Bulid 7000 i think this BUG is kinda different cos the User pic is all over the start Menu and it comes back to the position after consecutive clicks on the Start Orb
Funny Beta Bug

I would prefer the option to remove the picture full time. Anyone know of a hack to do it?

^^ It might be done by modifying the theme.
