Windows 7 69xx Feedback Link

7As many of you undoubtedly know by now, newer builds of Windows  7 come along with a “Send Feedback” link to the left of the min/max/close buttons of nearly every window you open.  This is reminiscent of the old “Comments?” link that was present in Whistler/XP betas.  So Rafael and I set out to find a way to do this.

Fortunately we can remove this link pretty easily.  It just involves a simple registry edit.  For the sake of easiness I will post the reg code below, all you have to do is copy/paste it into notepad and save it as feedback.reg.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"FeedbackToolEnabled"=dword:00000000

 

Merge the registry file, say yes to any UAC prompts or otherwise, log out and back in and enjoy your clean window frames!

    “say yes to any UAC prompts” so regedit is still “broken” in Win7? I just want MS to add a run non-elevated button in the UAC dialog, or atleast let me add a flag to CreateProcess telling it to ignore the manifest.
