I am posting my problem here because I've made the jump from Windows 10 to 11, but I've had this problem when I was running Windows 10 also. My problem is I'll have to right click several times on a file in Windows explorer in order for the context menu to stay on long enough for me to choose a...

When I open a second Explorer window, it's positioned virtually on top of the currently open window. Usually, when I do this it's so I can drag and drop objects from one to the other. The Explorer window placement means I have to move it aside in order to expose both Explorer window contents. Is...

Can't get the datemodified: trick to work in my windows explorer. It doesn't show the promised calendar, parameters such as "thisweek" give nothing. Is WIndows 10 a bunch of crap? Never had this and a hundred other problems with 7 but it seems we're forced to use this OS or migrate to Linux...
