OK, I firmly believe that the Windows Recycle Bin icons are fuggly.
So, I want to change them. I've done it in the past with XP. I've also done it on this machine (Windows 8.1). Someone elsewhere said that I'd have to build a .dll file. What? Not the way I've done it before (both XP and 8). I...

I upgraded my laptop to windows 10 and was quite happy with it until my desktop icons disappeared and the tiles that you saw when clicking on the start button that were small suddenly became big like windows 8 and took over the whole screen! How can I get it back to when it first installed?
A disaster so far.
Installation worked OK
Desktop shows (rearranged but still all icons there)
There is no Start button at bottom left, and anyway Icons at bottom of screen (taskbar and system tray) don’t work - when the curser moves to them, instead of an arrow it become an “I” and does not...

The situation is I can't add any item to the "start list', which is the list on the left of the start icons.
As far as I've read, it's supposed to be as easy as dragging an icon, but it can't be done I get an "x" when I reach the destination at the left.
Strange also, is that in my context menu...
Okay, as the title says, I upgraded. But there's a problem: Nothing on this OS seems to be working.
Explorer.exe constantly crashes, and a couple of hours ago, the computer itself just froze entirely, with me not even able to do ANYTHING. I fixed the freezing by updating my graphics drivers...

Hello,
I have a problem with the icons of avi files, that looks for me like the basic ico.icon when no file is associated. The file itself is associated to Media Player Classic and doubleclicking it starts also the file with Media Player Classic

As you know when you run a 16 bit program such as Windows 3.1 games on Windows Vista,7 or 8, it does not display the icon.
This is because support for 16 bit icon display has been removed from Windows Vista onwards. So you have to choose one of the icons in the "Shell32.dill" folder.
But there...

Starting this morning, my Windows 7 is opening most applications in Vim (Vim is my editor of choice).
The following is an itemized list of this bizarre behavior.

Hi everyone,
We have a new build for PCs releasing today to Windows Insiders in the Fast ring – Build 10130. As I mentioned with the last build, from here onward you are going to see a lot of tuning, tweaking, stabilizing, and polishing which means fewer big feature changes from build to build...

I have an elderly lady next door that just purchased a laptop with Windows 8. For some reason, she has lost the few icons that were on her desktop (i.e., desktop view as opposed to tiles). Using File Manager, I went to the Desktop folder, right-clicked on the few files there and selected Send...
This is rather worrying, today Malwarebytes finds a Trojan called Sathurbot however, when the computer reboots after cleaning, it's back in the icons folder.
also google isn't aware of it's existence:
Can anyone shed any light on this, much appreciated.

I've never had control panel look like this.
Large icons used to fill the page.
Maybe this goes along with my feeling that everything looks smaller then normal.
That's why I increased all my type sizes, but these were...
Hi
For as long as I can remember I've always set the slider for the size of type, icons etc, at 135%.
This has always given me a reasonable size display without things looking to big or having issues with things fitting in windows etc.
In the new version of Windows 10 the options on the slider...
The two attachments show how Net Center looks in W7 (top) and in (bottom) in Win 8. On W8 all icons, the map, and many text options that appear in W7 are missing. Is this what you see in W8?
(The same PC here runs both O/S.)
By accident I have screwed up a pair of user system folders. In moving their locations from the system drive to a second drive, I carelessly managed to point the system 'Videos' folder location and the system 'Music' folder
location at the same folder. The two system folders are now totally...
I have not had much time with this build, but it is nice to see some of the normal icons coming back, like the Trash bin. They have changed the look of the Weather App but it doesn't look as polished as the Windows 8 one.
They have moved the power button and some folks don't like the new...
