One fo my customers have recently purchased windows 7 64 bit OS. When using my programme the dates and currency are showing as US but are set to UK in regional settings. Anybody heard of this bug? A fix would be hugely appreciated!!

When you say "When using my programme", I'm assuming you mean one you developed yourself? If this is the case, then perhaps this is not a Windows 7 bug, but just you software not properly reading and using the appropriate format settings provided by Windows?
For example, in Delphi, I can use the "FormatDateTime" function on dates and times. It uses the standard variations of Y, M or D when formatting ("dd/mm/yyyy"), which can lead to displays that do not match the system locale. Unless I specifically tell it to use the Shortdate ("ddddd") or Longdate ("dddddd") format strings provided by Windows, then it will not do so.
Perhaps re-checking the code of your program will solve this problem?

OK , the theme is 'Win7 bugs"". May be you guys do not know what "bug" is?
I am running Win& Ult 32 on 4 different computers and laptops for a whole year and never had the problems You had. So how You think - where is the problem? I think it is in Your machines and Your heads. Don't blame Windows for that.
Don't assume that the computer will know about Your wishes and dreams and fulfill them. It simply responds on Your clicks on the keyboard.
And remember : when all efforts to make a machine to run properly failed - read the manual

"Desktop" toolbar has 2 Control Panel icons in it, and if you delete one or both they just come back again.
Notification Area Icons for programs you have uninstalled don't get removed from the "Select which icons and notifications appear on the taskbar" window. It's debatable whether its windows or the program that is at fault, but I have yet to see any program, even a Microsoft one, remove the icon when you uninstall it.
In IE8, if you go to your list of favorites and delete the "Favorites Bar" folder, it just comes back again latter, no matter how many times you delete it.

It's just an empty folder in my list of favorites.

I only have 2 pet peeves right now which I can't tell if it is purely a windows bug or something else...
1) Occasionally, the Windows Desktop fails to remember my icon placement after a restart/shutdown. Sometimes I find the icons reverted to a default placement instead of where I had them, and some other icons are still where I had them so it isn't universal, just some of them.
2) Occassional issues with shutting down where apps, mostly 32bit ones on a 64bit system, needing to 'force close'.

It's just an empty folder in my "List of favorites". Deleting it doesn't delete all my favorites. Here is a screen shoot of where it shows up under my favorites tab in IE.
It's one of several Microsoft created folders that will be in your list of favorites when you open IE for the first time. The others like "Radio Station Guide" you can delete and they never come back. This one just won't go away. Right now it's empty, but it might have had a couple of links in it originally. I seem to remember deleting them in an attempt to get rid of this folder.
