List of Features Removed in Windows Vista - Taskbar

Taskbar

• The Power icon on the taskbar only appears for laptops and desktop computers with a USB-based UPS.
• The Network icon on the taskbar does not give direct access to the connection settings, connection status, firewall settings, or disabling the connection.
• The taskbar cannot be resized to zero height, hiding it manually (inexperienced users were often unable to continue using Windows after resizing the taskbar to zero height accidentally).
• Toolbars such as "Quick Launch" can no longer be "dragged off" the taskbar as floating minibars or docked to another edge of the screen, though physical folders can be dragged onto the desktop edge in a similar manner. The Language Bar is the only toolbar that can float on the desktop.
• Double clicking on the Printer icon in the notification area while printing does not open the printer's status window that allows managing print jobs.
