Nothing that I'm sure isn't already on the wishlist...
Basically I'm just a lazy blighter and would like to do everything under
NT with (almost) as few keystrokes as it would take under Win3.1.

Offhand, no. Undoubtedly about 10 minutes after I've posted this
something will come to mind :(, but I would be very surprised if someone
else hasn't already thought of it.
Would there be any chance of making the wishlist public in, say, a
weekly-updated format, or would this be making a rod for your own back?
I appreciate you wouldn't necessarily want to say what was next in the
pipeline, and naturally you wouldn't have to give this information, but
it *could* work both ways and perhaps encourage people to make the
transition...
