I had to change it to a more modern computer. And this time I used "Harry P" font.
Originally I had it say: "Make it go faster!"
I first made it about 8-10 years ago.

It's weird, I can almost read it... "Mutate (1 and 10), to ten.

Also...

New Version of ExplorerPatcher

I believe there is a new version of ExplorerPatcher released today it is version 22000.258.30.2 It has more options in the settings section

Isn't it funny - when Vista came out, many people wanted pc to look like XP, Windows 7 to look like Vista (or XP), W8 to look like W7, W10 (mostly to look like W7, some like W8 (I do not like round corners - practically an oxymoron)), W11 to look like W10 etc.

Do people not see a sort of pattern - some people just seem to refuse to accept change.

How many posts do we see of tools that emulate older versions that keep inconveniently breaking as W11 gets updates?

In the end, is it worth it?

Yeah, there's a pattern.
It used to be, most things would stay the same until enough people demanded a change.

Now, the industry has decided to force people into change they didn't ask for, and that's not right.

Not really - every version of Windows has been different, although I concede Windows 11 hardware constraints are not justifiable.

My thoughts exactly. I embrace the new and make no changes except those that the new GUI allows, like organising my apps in named groups on Start. I count that as a major contributing factor in my never having had any Windows Update failures or issues.

While I do agree that change for a mutually acceptable reason, isn't bad, we have been being herded towards a phone/tablet OS since Windows 8. There's NO good reason why we can't have a desktop OS and a phone/tablet OS, or an OS that has both "options".

And there's absolutely NO good reason to "force" people into either option exclusively.

We do have a desktop OS, phones are looking more of a desktop that it to phones. MS missed on great opportunity with Windows Phone. I was hoping to be able to run a program on one device and continue on another.

In my view it all dates back to when M$oft were going to rule the world with the Lumia phone - they were suffering with the fruit company envy - hence Win8. Plenty of folks, well at least around these parts, urged them not to release it but it was and promptly condemned as a mess by the majority of the media and that's putting it mildly.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if at some time Windows becomes a subscription service unless they can make some serious money from the Store, One Drive, etc. Agree though with many sentiments that sometimes it appears changes are introduced for the sake of change with little, if any, benefits to the end user.

And, some things are just stupid..., like, why have a pizza icon when you you can't even order one!?!?!?

Yep... MS is "still" reeling from the disaster that was the Windows Phone.

It's Nokia Lumia (not Lumix) Windows phone, I still have my Lumia 640 with W10 on it, works fine, great phone. Had to change for Android because of lack of APPs I needed, My friends iPhone conked out and I gave him my Lumia to use.

Thanks for the correction. I never owned one but heard it was a great phone. Also remember M$soft paid some serious money for Nokia!!

The phone itself was great... it was the Windows part that was the disaster.
Especially since it wouldn't accept Android apps.

Hell... I had a Nokia bar phone back in the early 2000's. It was indestructible.

I liked how it worked and familiarity of interface, Almost a year now and I'm still fumbling with Android, Only problem was APPs for it or lack of them.

That old chestnut - never going to happen for domestic users. Sales of pcs would plummet.

Oh, I understand. It was the "market" that wouldn't accept it.

No, it was developers that didn't want to work within Microsoft's conditions.
