I'D like to compile here a little 'to do' list of all features missing or not properly working in Win7PE_SE.
Of course are also posts welcome, about other Win7 based projects, in which those features exist or work properly.

I start:

- USB - Native remove device, is not an option to select.
- removing USB device by Hotswap.exe unmounts the USB-Stick, but does not turn it off like in real Win7. There seems to be something more basic broken too.
- Webcam seems to be a no go too (scanners and printers not tested)
- only minor, but: theme tranparency not working, taskbar previews not working

Can anyone say if firewire and bluetooth are working for him?

Hi MedEvil
SendTo Desktop (Create Shortcut)

In my nativeEXWin7 (Joshua's), I made a temporary fix which consisted of
unpacking a shortcut into the sendto folder, the shortcut pointed to the desktop.
This results in copying entire file to desktop, which was good enough for what I needed.

I am currently investigating SendTo Desktop (Create Shortcut) for inclusion into my
Win7PE_SE projects, but I'm rather limited on time right now. "Putting Home up for sale", "What a Pain".

Also one nice feature, about the SendTo Context Menu is that any mapped
drives from PENetwork also get included in the Send To Context Menu = "Very Nice".

I have compiled the following registry data for my own reference, but that's as far as I've gotten.
Eventually I would like to include in my projects, the first one which copies to desktop, which is
still very useful, and also create shortcut on desktop.
It seems it would be a rather simple registry entry to accomplish this
