I think you must be wrong, you can put items anywhere, my desktop is a mess, there are things all over the place.

Just a note about step 1 of your tutorial there. MSFT removed the requirement of having CPU assited virtualiztion, so you wont need it on your processor. reference = http://www.windows7news.com/2010/03/18/xp-mode-no-longer-requires-hardware-virtualisation/ "" In a move that was very expected, but is very unexpectedly early, Microsoft have today announced that they’ve removed the barrier that has been preventing many people from installing and using the new XP Mode feature in Windows 7 Professional and higher. As of today it will run without requiring this hardware support. This is excellent news for Windows going forward and is finally a clear sign that Windows 8 could drop all legacy support completely in favour of a virtualised solution like this.""

When will Microsoft reply to the feedback, we don't want to wait years. One thing many people have done was to format and install Windows XP. I have done this and am very pleased with it's preformance and productivity. Good luck!

J'y pense de plus en plus. XP n'était pas seulement 15 fois plus stable mais aussi 15 fois plus fonctionnel et ergonomique. Sur tous les jeux j'ai des écrans bleu de la mort répétitifs avec Windows 7, alors que je n'en avais jamais eu eu avec XP SP2 et plus.
