Jerry's Ramblings

There are ways to make Windows 10 look and act like Windows 7. That way, you can get the familiar interface you love while still taking advantage of Windows 10’s other useful features.

The latest version of Windows 10 lets you add some color to the title bars in the settings, letting you make your desktop a little more like Windows 7. Just head to Settings > Personalization > Colors to change them.

The Windows 7 Start menu included a Search box right on the menu. In Windows 10, that search box was moved to the Taskbar and integrated into Cortana (personal assistant) and the Task View (virtual desktops) button was added to the Taskbar as well. Neither Cortana nor Task View was available in Windows 7. So, to continue our conversion to a Windows 7-like experience, you can remove both of them from the Taskbar–you just need to right-click on the taskbar. De-select “Show Task View Button” and go to Cortana > Hidden.

The Action Center is a new feature of Windows 10 that’s available by clicking the message bubble on the right side of the Taskbar. It’s handy for seeing all recent notifications you might have missed, and frankly, I think it’s worth keeping–it’s one of the more useful updates to Windows 10. But, if you really want to get rid of it, you can disable the Action Center by going to Settings > System > Notifications & Actions and clicking “Turn System Icons On or Off”. From there you can turn Action Center off with a simple slider.

Hope you find this useful.

When your basic Windows shortcuts -- using a combination of “Ctrl” or the "Windows" key -- aren't working correctly, you are experiencing either a broken keyboard or program-specific problems. Press "Windows-E" to launch Windows Explorer. If nothing happens, your keyboard may be broken. If any of the keys seem sticky, there may be some material obstructing the key from registering with the motherboard.

Every program manages keyboard shortcuts in a different manner. Microsoft’s Office Suite, for example, allows you to set keys to correspond to certain commands. To check keyboard settings in Word, click the Ribbon button in the top left and then choose “Word Options.” Click on “Customize” and then click “Customize...” beside “Keyboard Shortcuts.” Click “Home” and then scroll to find “EditCopy” or “EditPaste.” If the values for each are blank, the keyboard shortcut isn’t assigned. Click in the “New shortcut” field and perform the key combination you’d like to assign to a particular task, then click “Apply” to save your changes.

Meet Jerry, a silly little spammer who thought making posts in long dormant threads and ending his messages with a closing remark wouldn't rouse suspicions. Posts which were odd in themselves, either sounding like they were copied from elsewhere or had no relation to the original thread.

Jerry was stealing his posts from internet articles and was not very bright. Jerry also has a "Stop Forum Spam" listing as well.

"Jerry" is now banned and my advce to him and the rest of you spammers would be to just quit. Have a nice day.

IDK lol

uh huh. got it.
