Here is another irritating Vista bug which I found yesterday while compiling the "Shortcuts to various Desktop Properties tabs" tutorial. Following are the steps with screenshots to re-create the bug:
1. Right-click on the Desktop or in the Explorer and select "New -> Shortcut".
2. It'll open "Create Shortcut Wizard".
3. Now either click on "Cancel" button or press "Esc" key to exit from the wizard and get ready to see the bug.
Again right-click on Desktop and you'll see a new entry "Undo Apply Properties". Properties? What Properties? Which properties? Did I apply any property which I should undo now? Weird.
OK. Not a big issue but try to click on this new entry and you'll be surprised to see an error message:
WTH??? Windows can't find the new shortcut which I never created. Keep clicking on "Try Again" button and it'll keep showing the same error message again and again. Now click on "Cancel" button and the "Undo Apply Properties" option will change to "Undo".
Click on "Undo" and it'll change to "Redo".
Keep clicking on both these options and enjoy the endless loop unless you End Task of Explorer or log off/restart your system.
