WLW creates zero-size draft shortcuts which appear in Windows 7 jumplists RRS feed

    Running on Windows 7.7000

    Each time I make a post with WLW, it creates a recent file shortcut for the post and for a draft. So when you look at the WLW jumplist (taskbar or start menu) there are 2 entries for every post.

    Unless I explicitly saved a draft (very rare), the draft shortcuts point to a 0-byte file, and clicking on it produces a "Not Found" error message.

    This issue doesn't seem to be getting any traction via the W7 beta reporting process.

    Problem remains in the new WLW update on Win 7.7100 (RC).

    This is a Windows Live Writer problem, and a bug is filed.  There is no fix for this that will be part of Windows 7.

    I filed the bug but there is no good coverage of Live products within the Win 7 beta despite the issues covered.

    I haven't seen any bugs in Live products actually addressed in the Live updates that came this month.
