How did they expect people to drag and drop a new folder without adding it to an existing one? No one can tell me they weren't going out of their way to make this as bad as possible. "List" is the only view that doesn't have these god damn rectangles, but then it's just one big...
Occasionally, I run into a process that won't die, even though the associated app has been closed, and even using the Task Manager"s "End Process" or "End Process Tree" fails to effect the process. That only way I've found to kill it is by rebooting, but of course, that is often very...

Is there any software out there that allows me (and my colleagues) to assign tasks to each other and also allows our managers to keep track of our progress.
Outlook can happily assign tasks and keep track but there's no way of the managers seeing what tasks we all currently have assigned and...
I read, all over the web, comments regarding the dislike for the forthcoming Windows 8, and in particular, and in fact almost exclusively, criticism of the (as it was called) Metro.
I was urged to print my own thoughts on the subject, and I published an article which I have repeated here, in...

Hello.
I have a question. I have a Shared Folder on my Network. And, it has 2 subfolders. 1 is for reading things only. Which works as I want!
However, the other folder, which is supposed to allow users to drop things in it, won't allow the dropping of files in. I don't understand! What am I...
I have been playing with some of the apps, while they are still working, and noticed some things that may or may not been discussed.
OK, you can open an app and it will go full screen. So it is obviously open. You can go to the desktop, or another app and the previous app will remain open...
