Here's a story for ya. Yesterday I decided to give Windows 10 a shot because of what all my friends were saying. "OHHH ITS AMAZEBALLZ" "SOOOOOO AWSM" and such. The upgrade took a few hours but was well worth it. The programmes were exactly where I left them along with everything else. The new...

I was having several issues so I did a full reset of Windows 8.1 (that was a nightmare). When I went to update, it offered me Windows 10. I bit the bullet and did it. The exact same thing happened this time as the first time (which is why I reverted back to 8.1). On the desktop, if I place...

Hello again, My Windows 7 Pro machine started up with all the desktop icons (except three 'MS' ones) blacked out (black square where the icon should be). "Rebuild Shell Icon Cache" on right-click menu on desktop does nothing; they're still black. Restarting Windows Explorer doesn't help...

Hi, I am wondering how to create a shell shortcut for a directory. %windir% for instance points to C:\Windows. I'd like to also create a shell shortcut called %rubydir% which points to C:\PROGRA~1\CMD\Ruby223. Can you walk me through what I need to do?

Hello, i used to replace the explorer.exe from the registrykey "winlogon" with my own startup .EXE . This worked like a charm for Win XP and later on for Win 7 (had to deactivate UAC for it to work on Win7). Now on Windows 10 i cannot get it to work at all. As usual i replaced the regkey...

Hi. I'm trying to wake my win 7 pc from sleep (not from hibernation) using task scheduler but I'm having some problems. The pc does not wake up. I have set a task that has an action to starts cmd.exe and argument is "/c "exit"". Windows runs as a shell and apparently running windows as a shell...

Bejeweled 3 is incompatible with Windows 10. It works fine in Windows 7, and work fine in Windows 10 if installed on Windows 7 before upgrading. Noticed that Netflix doesn't work with Edge, either: I get error H7361-1253-80070005. Netflix works fine in Chrome with Windows 10. I can't edit...

Loaded it on my spare 500gb HD, took ages & had to do it twice from the 7gb usb stick. The swiping to the right does not work. Any other way to get whatever is in there? Do you think Classic Shell will work onw10? The dropdown menu from the Start Button seems fully active. Cntrl. panel I had...

I have been using the calendar app to store some of my upcoming events, some of which I don't remember since I threw away/deleted the original piece of information stating when the event is. Absolutely randomly, I was unable to access the calendar app. The icon on my start menu (I use Classic...

MS does not want you to use Classic Shell in build 9879, and will block you from installing it. But you can beat the blocking by simply renaming the installer. I couldn't help but broke out laughing when I read that "work around" part. So easy and simple it's comical...

Hi I had a strange problem today and I just got it fixed. When I would right click on anything in the Left Windows Explorer column, Windows Explorer would close. I could right click on anything in the right side of the screen OK but that meant that I could right click on anything but the...
