My new compueter with Window 7 clashed after 1 week. The symptom is blank screen white cursor and I had no way to fix it. I wasted 1 week to trouble shoot and finally decided to re-install everything. Quite a great experience.

i dont HAVE the "send feedback" link in any of my windows.
i don't realy want to delete it eather, but is this a bug in the stystem ?

i've downloaded the RC version of windows 7 just a few days ago.
possible the RC doesn't contain the link anymore ?

and. if i do find bugs in the OS how do i report them, since the link is gone

tnx, ciao

If this doesn't work for you:

1) Open regedit (start > type regedit)

2) Search for "FeedbackToolEnabled". (Ctrl +f )

3) Double click on "FeedbackToolEnabled" and enter the value "0"

Do not just copy and paste the text above, as it will not work.

You'll have to replace the funky quotes around FeedbackToolEnabled with regular ones:

"FeedbackToolEnabled"

instead of

“FeedbackToolEnabled”

Does not work for me either, maybe it is because I'm using the German x64 of Windows 7 Beta

I really agree with Travis. I have recently broke my 22 inch Acer plasma screen and now using a 16 inch lcd. Every time I would try to minimize, i would hit the send feedback link.
very interesting tip though. works great although I still recommend using the feedback tool so we can help make windows a better OS.

I understand that about giving feedback to Microsoft to help improve the OS. However, it would be more effective and less annoying when trying to move a window if you didn't have a link on every single window for feedback, and instead had an icon or a start menu place that you could click on to send feedback. I had to disable the send feedback link because every time I went to move a window I was clicking on Send Feedback.

Since this is beta software, it really would have been appropriate to urge people to only do this if they're actually having problems with it. Otherwise, it's everyone's responsibility to actually submit feedback so they can help improve the OS rather than take advantage of it for now and then complain about its deficiencies later.
