Oh...I thought it added to your rep or something. Well, if you're half as glad as me, then I'm twice as glad as you. Just look what I can do: Link Removed

So it did, and I voted it 'best answer'. Or didn't I do it correctly? Please advice.

Thanks Neemo. You made it very easy for me, with all that you typed for me just to copy/paste. Much obliged Sir!

Yes, and I used to dual-boot 7 and 10 - no problem.

I get the error message 'App cannot be opened <Appname> cannot be opened using the local administrator account. Log in to a different account and try again.' attempting to run e.g. Sticky Notes, Calculator. I recently migrated from Windows 7 and this was never a problem there. I obviously...

"You should know that dual-booting multiple versions of windows on the same hard drive without having external backup or Cloud storage backup is NO BUENO!!" Ouch! ¡No es bueno!, huh? Well, like I said in the OP: 'Yes, a bonehead solution, but that's me...' Still, there is hope yet, even for...

Thanks Neemobeer.

For a some months I have been dual-booting Windows 7 and 10, trying to make my mind up wether to move on to 10 or stay with 7. I am still vacillating...:hide: I have been keping two similar sets of data files (i.e. those files I generate, and add to/detract from, using mainly MSWord and...

Thank you ussrnorway and please excuse my snotty, uncouth reply of yesterday which you are 'big enough' to not mention. That speaks volumes as to your personal qualities. I had been up literally for days, with a few hours of semi-sleep between sessions as I had had some two weeks trying, to no...

Hi Mike, thank you. You say: "For what it's worth, and it isn't much, I found after the Anniversary update that using Google Chrome caused many problems for me." You're too modest, friend; that's worth a lot as I have read the same thing on several forums during my searches on these issues...

Thank you so much. You certainly have a...way with words. "you tranferred old software onto a new computer and ended up with corrupt icons... " No, I did not. Where do I say that? It is a brand new machine, all the software was preinstalled. Except the VLC player. Your thorough analysis of the...

I just bought a new PC on Thursday and it came with Windows 10 Home preinstalled. Having used versions 2.0 (yes I am ancient ;)), carefully avoiding Vista, ME and 8.x, and on via XP to 7, I felt it couldn't get much better now and had decided I would resist upgrading as long as at all possible...

Yeah, something like that. Fast thinking on your part! Sometimes enough will just have to be enough. You've, like, had it. Yes' walk tall out through the settling dust, leave that sh*t behind and move on. And where is the Anykey anyway!...makes me so mad I could...well, it's all academic now...

Thank you hoodlum333...sorry - holdum333. Well, if you're half as lazy me, then I'm twice as lazy as you I'll bet. I'm lazier than a veteran Teamster long-haul trucker - so there! Sure I'll check out your link - later. Much later. Thanks though. But seriously, in the time since I posted the PC...
