Windows Vista build 5219 (winmain idx02.050830-2010)

Windows Vista build 5219 (winmain_idx02.050830-2010) is a build of Windows Vista and the official September 2005 Community Technology Preview, released on 13 September 2005. It is also the last Windows Vista build to be showcased in the official September 2005 Community Technology Preview.

Setup
Although setup is mostly similar to aforementioned builds of Vista, the setup autorun now mentions Beta 2, rather than Beta 1. The disk partitioning page now also has a new advanced option, which hides the latter disk partitioning tools unless clicked on. The setup disc has also majorly increased in size, from approximately 1 GB from build 5212 to approximately 2.73GB in this build, due to supplemental drivers.

The Get important updates for installation page has the checkmark and cross icons on both options replaced with generic arrows.

New features and changes

 * The schema for Windows Search has been updated since build 5112 to include elements for the name, GUID and computer state of Network Computer Sharing.
 * Notification style has been updated to resemble the RTM.
 * Internet Explorer 7 has received a few updates, such as a more organized layout and the tabs section including a blue-to-purple gradient.
 * Upon shutting down, there is no longer a timer prompt and the computer instantly shuts down.
 * SuperFetch has been added.
 * Windows Anytime Upgrade has been added.
 * Shadow Copies has been added.
 * Auxiliary Displays now opens inside Control Panel rather than a separate window.
 * The world map which shows the selected timezone have been removed from Date and Time.
 * Windows® screensaver now shows the Windows Vista logo with the colored flag instead of the pre-reset Windows Longhorn logo.
 * Run Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days has been removed from Display Properties.

File Explorer

 * New Virtual Folder: Documents Shared By Me.
 * Rich tooltips have been added for metadata painting.
 * The Library Virtual Folder now scopes the primary user profile, MAPIFolders, Offline Files (also known as the client-side cache (CSC)), and Public. Previously, all Virtual Folders (e.g., All Documents of build 5112) scoped locations that corresponded to their own item type (in the case of All Documents, only Desktop, Documents, and Public Documents were scoped). Because of this, separate Virtual Folders are not necessary as all types of items are referenced by the Library. Despite all of this, User's Files is still identical.
 * Virtual Folders of previous builds are no longer referenced in the navigation pane (excluding Recent Documents) or by the Start menu. However, they are still present in the Virtual Folders user profile folder until when they will be removed entirely in build 5259.

Winver
Winver has been updated to use the Windows Vista name instead of Longhorn. The banner now features the aforementioned operating system's name on a teal-emerald gradient backdrop, and the Windows logo is entirely white instead of colored.

Outlook Express

 * Menu Bar is quite larger and now the search box exists inside the menu bar rather than the toolbar.
 * Ability to send instant message has been removed.
 * New importion and exportion options have been added.

Windows Contacts
Windows Contacts has replaced Windows Address Book and it's now a Windows Explorer shell rather than a separate program.

Windows Collaboration
Windows Collaboration (Known as Code Name: Windows Collaboration and later as Windows Meeting Space) has been added.

User Accounts

 * User Accounts now opens inside the Control Panel window instead of a separate window.
 * Perform administrative tasks option has been added.

Aero
Aero has been updated. Taskbar is now transparent upon initializing DWM, and live taskbar thumbnails have been introduced. The Aero theme elements have been changed slightly. Flip 3D now supports glass thumbnails, and the Alt+Tab dialog now features a glassy finish and new animations.

32-bit EFI support

Installation

 * If installing this build on VMware depending on the version, you will need to set the hardware compatibility to 6.x or lower, otherwise this build will crash with a bugcheck upon booting up, with the error code.
 * Whilst partitioning on a clean drive, you will not be able to format the hard drive without restarting, due to the hard drive "not being ready".

Composition

 * Like pre-reset builds, the performance might suffer greatly when DWM is running.
 * If DWM is enabled, the "Start" text on the Start button renders incorrectly, depending on the resolution of the current display driver and the DPI. It either uses bolder fonts, or it flashes and is transparent.
 * If DWM is enabled while there is a maximized window, the window frame becomes opaque, but the taskbar doesn't, unlike pre-reset builds such as build 4074.
 * It is possible to summon both the new Alt+Tab dialog and the Windows Classic Alt+Tab dialog simultaneously.
 * The new Alt + Tab dialog can be summoned in Flip3D like a window.

Migration Wizard
The following bugs are internal known issues found in  in the sources folder.


 * Currently, only disconnected migration is supported.
 * The Drive Exclusion page has no effect on the items to be migrated.
 * To increase performance on machines with razzle environments, you can have the docs agent skip scanning all drives (which can take several minutes on some machines) by setting the environment variable  before running the wizard.

Unit Properties
When DWM is activated, the disk layout is not displayed correctly, it overlaps and flashes.
