Or run our expensive device programmer devices.
Heez. Here I sit being able to choose from several file managers, as complex or simple as I want. Twin panes for easy drag and drop from one folder or drive to another.
When I open my program menu, I just start typing and it not only filters the programs, it can search for files and search the software repositories for other programs.
If I want fast, advanced search, there’s catfish which allows indexing any part of the system for really fast future searches.

Fantastic idea! :^) Thanks RitchieAprile.
No doubt. That game was hilariously un-pc. Loved it.

This will open a secure session to the server in question and allow you to browse directories and download files. It also understands smb:// for samba shares. Even cooler, you can have multiple systems up as separate panes of the same window and copy a file from remote system A to remote system B. Awesome.
I would be first in line. Opened the new 10 and promptly packed it to the closet and got the old 7 laptop fixed.
I donated my slick new Win 10 laptop to my husband and ordered a refurbished Win 7 Dell from a vendor on Amazon. It’s wonderful; I’m in Heaven! Well, maybe I’m only in Purgatory. I’ll achieve Heavenly status when I throw my Android in a drawer and re-activate my dumber phone.
Good article; good thread.
Ping for the list.

+5!
LOLOLMAO!
You can play Win XP card games in Win 10. Just put the file "cards.dll" from XP into the same folder as the *.exe files for the games, such as sol.exe and freecell.exe. However, card size may be a problem, since those games were designed for smaller, lower resolution monitors than we use now.
Yeah, I like Dolphin also. It doesn’t actually need KDE to be running as window manager; probably does need KDE services but runs fine with other managers such as Xfce.
Junk those retarded ribbons!
I copied the Pinball game to a Win 10 from an old XP we found when we moved. It worked great.
I downloaded the XP Sound Recorder file from an online site. Technically, it works. It records the short clips I want from CDs, but the quality is terrible.
The ribbons are the worst! Cut production time immensely. I used to do everything using keystroke shortcuts by not having to fool around with a mouse. That ended when the evil ribbon showed up (2007?). My Office 2003 program is gold. When we’ve moved over the years, Office 2003 and a flash drive of recipes are in my carry-on bag with my good jewelry.
Guys can’t do key strokes as well. But I use some of those shortcuts..maybe 10 or so. For personal use I use Word and Front Page from Office 2000. On my personal Windows 10 computers.
But the Win 10 file explorer has those cursed ribbons! I think I finally have the ribbons nailed down and know what to ignore 100%
But I use some of those KEYSTROKE shortcuts..maybe 10 or so.
