I would like a checkbox in Defrag (and other time-consuming programs) to "
Shutdown System when complete".

What would you like to ADD, MODIFY, change procedure to make it more
user-friendly?

Auslogics Disk Defrag has that option. The latest version will also
display SMART attributes for the drive.

I would like a proper desktop Start menu !!!!!!!!! -- just like win 7
(or XP if you must) -- anything but that thing they call a menu now
?????. And please do not arrange things in alphabetical order. I
organize my menu according to function. Classic shell is the only way I
can make the thing go.
I cannot comment on the touch screen menu as I do not have one -- unless
an Android tablet counts.

I experience that problem a lot. I arrange things the way I want, and
the "helpful idiot" makes a mess of that (alphabetizes).

Hi, Mark.

Right-click on an empty spot on your Desktop. Select View and make sure
Auto arrange icons is NOT checked. You might also want to Align icons to
grid - or not.

All you have to do is open
"C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Win dows\Start Menu\Programs"
and make a few folders like "--utilities--" or "--Fonts--" or "--Cleanup--" etc and then put in your programs either
single shortcut links or whole folders for some programs like Photoshop that make extensive folders.

WIndows 10 will then alphabetize but you'll see your proprietary folders at the top under the & symbol.

No need to scroll down unless you want something down there.

Also you know you can click on any letter of the alphabet in that list and it will change to something like a calculator
keypad with all the letters in the alphabet on there. And the highlighted ones are the ones you have software in. So
if you're looking for Photoshop and P is not highlighted, guess it might be under Adobe!

It's not that hard if you learn to USE the system and not abUSE it.

Yet I still agree, they did a dismal job (and that's saying nicely) of making a menu.

The All-Users start menu items are in
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
If you open both in windows you can drag and drop programs into your custom folders and tweak that sorted list.

By all means, try Start10 from Stardock (www.stardock.com). It works
nicely to give you exactly what you want. It's free for 30 days, and
only costs about $10 to register. You can click Start to get the Win7
style menu, and hold Ctrl and click Start to get the Win10 version at
any time you like.

The listed price for Start10 from Stardock is
$4.99, unless you are upgrading from Start8. If so, the price is
$3.99.

I stand corrected. Thank you.
