Re: Monthly chat May 2016
@Aprone, I'm still using xp at the moment, this is a question about the next machine I get which probably won't happen until august sinse I've got the hole getting married thing to sort out first.
I heard you couldn't install on the c drive or create folders directly in post xp windows versions due to microsoft's security and the hole uac thing, I don't know if that is the case.
The folder structure i mean is that in xp I like the list view for files and folders, that way I can just press up and down arrows to brows files, and have only one column to work with. Windows explorer in 7 seemed a bit whackier, especially the start menu which was down right crazy and quite a pain considering that I tend to like program shortcuts in specific places, eg, I have an audiogames folder on my start menu with individual subfolders for each file, indeed I don't use the desktop accept for things I want to create shortcut keys to like winamp and micr
osoft word.
Interface is probably something I could live with in windows 10 if the compatibility is fixed, or at least I could hammer something into shape for the stuff I want, . I'll already have to give up most dos programs which is an arse in the case of eamon deluxe, and in terms of games like fallthru, though I have heard stable talking alternatives for dosbox do now exist which didn't previously, but I wonder about other games I've bought previously, particularly on windows 10.
Actually I resent having to do this at all, but we're getting to the point when xp is becoming mildly inconvenient as a system, ie, stuff like youtube and some games not working with it, which is actually why i'm considering windows 10 at all sinse if I'm going to be irritated at a new operating system, I might as well be irritated by one which will be around for longer . Plus microsoft apparently aren't planning any further interface changes or major alterations to windows in the future (learning from their mistakes with xp methinks), though we all know what microsoft's promises are worth.
