A) Some people have said Multiple Desktops & Task View is silly or unnecessary or 'geeky' when I suggested it could be put to good use. B) Windows 10 allows some funky snapping. 1/2 screen or 1/4 screen. And everything 'floats' & is sizable. Well, it is becomes bloody neat when you combine A...

Really like the multiple Desktops. @ 1st thought it was much like Alt-Tab or hovering across Taskbar, basically, another View/Select approach. In 7 (& 8) would run more than one tabbed browser grouping related sites in each. This does that and on a higher level. Can EASILY be done by...

I have this 'disorder' where I like my files to be organized and easy to access in a user friendly manner… My problem is win7 makes things needlessly difficult. By far my biggest issue is moving files around…. I might have a folder with a few dozen (or a few hundred) files, so when I cut/paste...
