  1. What's your favourite productive app/program to install

    QuickBooks - the old versions that you don't have to keep paying for every year. MS Office Pro - OLD version (permanent license) and I mostly only use Excel but sometimes Word Polyview - you have to be old to even know what that one is and it still works. AutoCad - Old version (permanent license)
  2. Solved Win 11 file explorer drag and drop files to folder question

    NO! Unless it was an option without having to install a patch. If someone wanted this It should be a checkable option in the explorer Tools/Folder Options
  3. Solved Win 11 file explorer drag and drop files to folder question

    I actually use “Copy to / Move to” in Windows 7 but don't use it when I simply add a sub-folder and then drag and drop multiple files into the new folder so this is a good suggestion. Maybe I can make a habit of using it more often. I use it often moving things from my desktop to their final...
  4. Solved Win 11 file explorer drag and drop files to folder question

    When I drag a file or files to a folder in Win-11 (set to details view) it drags a stupid icon that blocks my view of the folder I want to drop them into. Is there a way to have it NOT have that icon and act like Windows 7 that only highlights the file(s) being moved and where it's being moved...
  5. how do I open command prompt from file manager?

    No, I'm saying that three times in a row typing cmd into file explorer's address bar opened Firefox (at my home address) but after I used "run" to open the Command Prompt it fixed it so now typing "cmd" in File Explorer's address bar opens the Command Prompt and it stayed fixed after a reboot.
  6. how do I open command prompt from file manager?

    Yes and I rebooted and tried it again and cmd from File Explorer opened the command prompt so it was a fluke but a fluke that happened three times in a row.
  7. how do I open command prompt from file manager?

  8. how do I open command prompt from file manager?

  9. Notepad anomaly

    Yeah and you might not want to interact with every open window just then . . . I'll try and fix it after supper.
  10. Solved how do i print screen in windows 11 pro

    I was going to ask the same question but this thread is already here. I guess after you select Print Screen you have to click in the window you want copied to the clipboard because just using the keyboard does not copy anything to the clipboard? Unless you have it set for full screen? I guess I...
  11. How to move non-functioning WinRE partition from start of disk to end and re-install it there?

    I'm the same way. I had 5 partitions on Disk 0 and it drove me nuts because I did not know what they were for so I deleted all but C: and the EFI one at a time after doing a disk backup. I'm sure one partition was there from Win-10 install and one from a reinstall from scratch and who knows what...
  12. Notepad anomaly

    When using Notepad it seems to have some strange behavior. If I open a new text document it sometimes opens a previously open document instead of a blank one and sometimes it opens both. And when I close it, it does not close till I close it a second time. I dont recall it doing this when I...

  14. What's your favourite productive app/program to install

    I'll have to check out Xnview, I'm still using PolyView but it's occasionally sluggish on Win-11 on the first use after a boot. The only thing I wish it did more was to be able to draw lines and arrows. It's hard to change after using one program for 30 years I also have Jasc PSP 9 Email I...
