    Is "Lenovo Desktop Navigator" working on Windows 7 for everyone? I just upgraded my system to Win 7 & now I am having tiny bit of issue with desktop navigator.

    I can add, remove stuff but it just seems to pick the first icon on the list, I can not move to other icons.

    Any help in this?

    I’ve never heard of this software until now. What does it do?

    If it’s like most Lenovo software, you’re system will probably run better without it.

    New Lenovo Y series has the touch thingy where you can have put shortcuts to your apps & you can just touch those touch sensitive area to open the software. They are really helpful than going into program files & clicking those apps.

    I am glad you understood what I meant since I felt I made it sound more complicated than it is.

    Anyways, if anyone has any suggestion in this area, I am all ears.

    Hey Kielo13, I didn't find any solution to this. Infact I forgot about this all together.
    There is a updated software for Win7 for this. Try that out, it might work.

    I will try that as well since you reminded me of this.

    I installed the latest drivers but that didn't help. Slidebar work properly after I restore the default settings. However, I have to do it whenever I turn on the system. Does anyone have any advice on?

    Hey Kielo13, I just installed the new version of the driver. It comes as 2 different drivers. One for slidebar & other as desktop nav. Install both and see if it works.

    I have Win7 x64 and this desktop nav works good now. It also has a feature of changing desktop image by sliding your finger on it.
