Windows 8.1 does reintroduce the Start Button to show that they are "listening to the customer" but crucially not the Start Menu.

Methinks that's not going to placate the pitchforks. ------------ Brian Sent from my iPhone On Jul 7, 2013, at 15:26, Winterlight <winterli...@winterlight.org> wrote: > This is true, however, I have been using OPUS explorer replacement since > switching to Windows XP, and ever since, I have never had a problem copying > anything.
