Classic Shell was installed within 30 minutes of Win10 installation but not before 3 unexplained crash/reboots.

My Freeping is much too important than to leave it in the hands of Microsoft.

If all they want to do is hide all the useful commands as part of the planned obsolescence of the OS.......well, I’m just done with them.

Yes, hiding the useful commands (and paths, but finding them is harder in some Linux distros), and setting the default explorer view to small icons, and hiding file types, and system files, while populating the start menu with icons, as things i normally quickly attack on a fresh install. Of course, i also change the default view in Linux to Details, and “show hidden files.

But Winkey +X is a help, to which you can add things to.

But making changing time made difficult under W/10. Solution: Run (press Windows key and tap r key, let both go, then paste the following) control.exe /name Microsoft.DateAndTime and hit OK.
