In Money 2005 the categories and subcategories have been added to one menu
drop down. This is a real pain as a search using the first letter of the
catergories often finds a sub catergoriy instead of the category you want.

One of the options in the program settings should be to use the combined
categories and sub categories in one drop down box or to use them separately
as in all previous earlier versions of Ms Money

I know you can set up short cut key to go to the subcategories but I have
over 200 categories and sub categories and it would be impossible to remember
the short cut keys to all of these hence using the first few letter is
easiest and has been consist in all previous versions.

I would also like to see facilities added in the investment accounts to
track imputation credits for Australian shares. The should not involve any
customization for Australia as the USA is moving to a system of tax paid on
dividends similar to Australia from what I understand.

I wouldn't hold your breath for improvements to Money.

MSFT has craftily trapped folks into upgrading every 2 years with the
automatic disabling of downloading/online services policy. This trick
eliminates any real incentive on MSFT's part to upgrade the program
substantively. Sure there are some minimal changes every year but some of
those changes are negative.

I am still using M2002 because of negative changes in newer versions.

Let's pretend you were asking how to return to dual
category/separate lists: see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/889931/en-us

Later North American versions have a setting for this.
