I guess I'm just becoming a curmudgeon. Just watching him do things,
I'm like 'It's 2 clicks to get to the setting you want' instead, he
clicks the search button, has to move to the keyboard to type, then back
to the mouse to select the setting it's returned. I guess that's better
than watching the boss who continually loses his mouse on the screen and
can't figure out where he's clicking.

A few weeks ago the Windows search box was broken for me, but I was in the
middle of something where I couldn't restart my computer. That was the
first time I'd used the Start Menu to open applications in 4 or 5 years. I
only use Start to find the "shutdown" button. Yes, it's faster to search by
the name of the application than to click through the Start Menu for it. I
also use it for the Control Panel items I open most often. For example I
start typing "ethernet" and then click "ethernet settings" as soon as it
appears and I type "device" and click on "device manager".
I don't generally search for settings in a device. Maybe I'll try it.

We've got a new employee in his 20's. He never browses for programs off his
start menu, but uses the windows search box for everything.
Anything that has a search box, he types into that. I didn't even know that
the Grandstream UCM's had a search function, but he only uses that to find
settings to change. Is this normal behavior now? Is it actually faster?
