Dear Micheal,
I am sorry that I made a lapse of the pen in my previous post. However,
the channel to submit MSWish is still valid. To submit great ideas for a
future product enhancement. I'd recommend that you forward the
recommendation to the Microsoft Wish Program.
There are several ways to submit MS Wish:
World Wide Web - To send a comment or suggestion via the Web, use one of
the following methods:

click the link in the Product Suggestion section of the page that appears.
" In Windows XP, click Help and Support on the Start menu. Click Send your
feedback to Microsoft, and then fill out the Product Suggestion page that
appears.
" Visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/ms.htm
" Click Microsoft.com Guide in the upper-right corner of the page and then
click Contact Us . Click the link in the Product Suggestion section of the
page that appears.
" Visit the following Microsoft Product Feedback Web site
http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp
and then complete and submit the form.
Have a nice day!

| Hello Laura,

I
