I've been working on this for weeks so shall try to make it succinct.
System: Lenovo laptop, Windows 7 64 bit, Logitech wireless mouse; no changes of any kind since weeks before problem started
Problem: wireless mouse acts very strangely. Cannot use (at random - sometimes it works) Windows...
I have just switched on my computer to find that a piece of my desktop has been cutoff by the full width of my 2nd monitor display, here's a screenshot of the problem:

Here's a brief tutorial on something which I think is a very useful feature in the tileview/start menu area of Windows 8. And unfortunately, most people do not know about it!
By the end of this tutorial, hopefully you will be able to achieve what is seen in this result image:

Here's a cool module I created a while ago. I got the idea with some cool fading effects... Maybe you'll find use for this too :)

Hi
My new computer finally shipped!!!
I'm climbing the walls without a computer to work on, it's been 3 weeks since I ordered it, my old one sitting fried in the other room.
Now I start checking the tracking link every few hours. LOL

Does anyone know of a good SSH client for metro? Using the modern app look at feel? Would be great to scroll through a bunch of tiled consoles left and right. Currently using cygwin, but want to use Windows 8 style apps.
Some folks grumble about the Ribbon (technology) & having (to put up w/) it in Explorer windows. So, I thought, I'd just mention that it can be collapsed via the wee arrow @ the top-right corner. Open it when wanted & or just use the remaining tabs. I'm not sure all the available functions...

Does anybody know any cool shell replacements?
And I dont want these.
List of alternative shells for Windows - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I've tried those and dont like them.
Which is preferred? Going to All APPs (screen) for things

OR
having this folder on the Taskbar?

Maybe there could be room for not finding the Win8 UI flawed or something that makes people unhappy. Maybe it is ok & there is no need to make the OS into something it's not... that being some previous OS. Many people cannot agree that it suffers because it was made for certain...
