Reversed instructions

writes: [] The settings is the "Store and display recently opened programs in the Start menu" checkbox on the "Start Menu" tab of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog. Right-click the Start Menu button and choose "Properties" to open that dialog. Check/tick that checkbox then press OK. _Not_ getting at JJ here, just making an observation: I very often see instructions that look like the first two lines there - which have to be unwrapped backwards! As I say, not getting at JJ, since he does then go on to give the instructions in a forward manner, but I've often seen such instructions given _only_ in the backwards order. -- J. P. Gilliver.

English isn't my native language, so I always expect some corrections. I was trying to give a brief idea on where the setting is, before giving the instructions on how to actually get to that setting. I didn't use something like: abc def ghi Which IMO, may be cryptic for some people. Was my explanation confusing? Maybe I should have wrote it in a step by step manner. -_- |

Maybe I should have wrote it in a step by step manner. -_- Only a little - you _did_ give instructions on how to get to the setting. I was mainly commenting on people who give _only_ the reversed instructions ("the setting you want is in the x tab of they y window when you run z"). I should not have picked your post as an example! -- J. P. Gilliver. UMRA: 1960/1985 MB++G()AL-IS-Ch++(p)Ar@T+H+Sh0!:`)DNAf The first banjo solo I played was actually just a series of mistakes. In fact it was all the mistakes I knew at the time. - Tim Dowling, RT2015/6/20-26 |
