Default Windows 10 look and feel utilities

One of the things that has changed is how you shut down W10.
Either right click or left click the MS Icon on the right of the
toolbar. It is in the same place as the W7 start icon. Select
the first icon from the bottom and you are given the same choices
to shutdown your computer as in W7.

One of the things that I quickly fell in love with with W10 was
the jumplist. If you right click any icon on the toolbar or the
new Start menu, you will see a list of the files recently opened
by that program.

You will get a jumplist for the File Explorer if you pin it to the
taskbar. Right click FE icon and you get list of folders you have
recently opened.

You can also pin items to the jumplist, so those frequently used
folders or files are available with a right click on any program.

When you right click on the MS icon on the left of the toolbar you
have access to all of the computer functions; Disk Management,
Device Manager, Network connection, etc. You can find the Task
Manager in this menu or when you right click the taskbar.

If you are stuck on the old control panel, create a short cut to
control.exe in the Windows\System32 folder, and place it on the
start menu, taskbar, or the desktop.

Depending on what I am doing I use the old control panel and the
new settings menu (Right click the square icon on the right of the
taskbar) interchangeably.

The biggest benefit of Windows 10 is they finally got rid of the
collapsing menu system that has been used by windows from the
start. I would click an item in the old start menu, and get to
about the second or third level before the mouse would stay and
the whole thing collapse and I would have to start over. The new
start menu is much simpler.


Thanks, Keith, a very concise listing of why I won't use Windows 10 W/O
Classic Shell.
