Microsoft’s long‑running habit of quietly modernizing its smallest apps reached a clear milestone this week as Paint, Snipping Tool, and Notepad received coordinated feature updates in Windows Insider builds — features that push these familiar utilities from convenience tools toward real...

WE are trying to map a drive on a windows 10 desktop to a shared drive on our old windows 7 desktop. The Share is open yet the win10 needs to get the "login" info from the user and it only wants to use email address and password. There is no "user name" option.

Summertime has arrived, and with that a chance to hopefully slow down a bit, get outdoors and make memories with our loved ones. During this time of year, some of us are also planning travels or perhaps are tackling projects around the house that we didn’t have time for during the busy school...
