Surprised they haven't dropped 32bit version of Win10.


In my office I have one DOS program that I use.

I therefore need 32 bit version.

My desktop is full of shortcuts of desktop programs.

I am disappointed that "send to desktop" option is still missing
in the new start list. One has to go to "file location" to do that.

I would like big "show desktop" icon task bar. I have a third party
program that gives me that.

You know you can make a "send to" anywhere item in that right click
context list! Just open:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wind ows\SendTo folder and
make shortcuts to other places there. I like to save wallpapers so I
have a wallpapers folder in my pictures directory. I just right click
that wallpapers folder and drag it to the "sendto" folder and release
and pick "make shortcut here". Simple as pie.

Note the AppData is a hidden folder.

Win 8 has a show desktop. Bottom right corner, just click and the
desktop is made visable. Is that what you mean. I think the same is in
10, but don't hold me to it.

I just noticed there is a "desktop (create shortcut)" there already, but
you could also make a shortcut to desktop and have both. One item would
send it to the desktop and make a shortcut to it, the other would just
send it to the desktop. You'd have the best of both worlds.
