I don't like ribbon.
Using Windows 10 64bit Home Premium can I get classic menu bar and get rid of ribbon?
I have found this page but it does not work in Win 10 i.e. pressing Alt does not bring up the menu bar; just shows me what character to press to get to that item. I do not see Organize and therefore cannot get to layout.
How to take the system tab off the ribbon in File Explorer?

View 2 RepliesI've installed office 2016 on my desktop, and the icons on the start menu are just blank icons. They have the background colors for each app, but the actual program icon is not there. i've already tried reinstalling the entire suite, running a number of programs, etc. but nothing has worked so far.
my other current issue is when I restart explore the start menu and desktop is completely unresponsive, and I have to restart the computer to fix the issue.
There is the option on many things in windows explorer, if you right click, "Pin to start" .. for instance.. say you have a folder you want to pin a shortcut to.. you right click that.. pin to start.. it should then appear in the start menu.. well on my system it doesn't..
I have to manually make a shortcut, then copy that to the program data or local users windows start menu folder for it to then be pinnable to start via the start menu..
Available free online, the Classic Shell Start Button corrected Windows 8's most glaring fault by giving you an excellent free Start Button. One of my Windows 10 laptops still has it.
You can still press the Windows key (bottom left corner, between the Ctrl and Alt keys) to get the Windows 10 Start Button.
Classic Shell works well with Windows 10 and is a possible last resort if you can't get the Windows 10 Start Button to work.
Do you know any program who allow to change W10 to classic taskbar? I would like to have gray taskbar and black text, like classic taskbar.

View 2 RepliesIs there any way to disable that next context menu when clicking on Windows Explorer?
It shows a bunch of favorite folders and recent folders.
Since Windows 10 preview, I've had really weird Explorer behavior. Sometimes, when I click a directory, Explorer will open two instances of it in two new windows, in addition to the already-open window that I was clicking from. This happens at random with different folders, usually ones that are sub-folders of folders on the desktop.
There's no rhyme or reason, and I'm not accidentally double-clicking. I have my folder options set to single-click open and windows open in the same window. I've also reset my folder options and this problem has not changed.
I've even reset the computer and still experience this issue, so it's not a lingering bug from the preview, I don't think. I'm not on the preview any more.
I upgraded to 10 from 8.1 on Friday and everything worked great. Suddenly, on the following Monday afternoon Windows began to act up. Either at the desktop or while in a game, suddenly the start menu and Cortana will stop responding. Usually shortly thereafter Explorer will stop responding, as well.
If I hover over items on the start bar - buttons, Cortana search, pinned applications, the system tray - the item will highlight like I can interact with it. But when I click, nothing happens. The start menu won't open, Cortana won't open, applications won't start, etc.
This seems to happen between thirty and forty-five minutes after booting up. I checked the event logs for Application, Security and System; there are critical errors but after spending a few hours following up, those don't seem to be related at all. I did not drill down any further than those logs.
I've attempted the solution at the following link, without any success. [URL] / I've also attempted a system restore to the previous day when everything was still working, but again, no luck.
I am not able to open the file explorer through the option on the start menu, or by clicking on the file explorer pinned to the task bar. When I click the pinned file explorer the window that pops up says "Windows cannot find ''. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I am able to navigate through to my files by going to the start menu file explorer's jump list (clicking the arrow to the right of the file explorer option on the start menu).
All of these issues began after I had been messing around with custom themes. I ran UltraUXThemePatcher_3.0.4 and then I changed the following files (themeui.dll,uxinit.dll, and uxtheme.dll). Next, I ran a registry editor file that made it so I can take ownership via right click. I also followed these steps in this article: [Windows 10 Tip] Remove Icons from Navigation Pane of This PC - AskVG up to the end of "Part 2: Remove Quick Access Icon From Navigation Pane of This PC". The last thing I did was install a custom icon pack.

How do I add the keyboard shortcut command "ctrl+F" to the Internet Explorer context menu? I know where I need to go in the registry to add an item to the context menu of Internet Explorer, but I don't know how to add a keyboard shortcut.
View 4 RepliesI am experiencing random freezing of a Windows Explorer (file manager) window. What this means, is that I cannot click on a file, I cannot minimize, close the window etc.
However, I can open another instance (or more) of Windows explorer, that I can open files, copy & paste, drag & drop, close the window, etc
The only way I can get rid of the frozen window is going to task manager & telling Explorer.exe to restart
On my Lenovo Miix 2 Windows Explorer will not minimize?

I'm currently using Windows 10. I'm upgrading it from windows 8.1 Single Language. I make clean installation. So yesterday my Windows running weirdly. For example my, if I click "This PC", when it open, the explorer keep loading. I'm waiting like 1 hour but still nothing changes. There is no driver partition can be seen. I'm already scan with anti virus and anti malware with up to date database but still the problem keep happen. More frustration is I can't open control panel. BTW I'm already trying to restart the windows explorer in Task Manager but still it does not change. Plus if I insert any pendrives or external hard disk, the folder still can't be opened, it just keep loading.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to get windows Explorer to refresh the view automatically when a new file is added or after renaming a file?
It does it occasionally itself but most of the time I have to press F5 to have the view updated.
I am running Windows 10 on a Dell Venue Pro 7130 tablet. There is one SSD installed - Local Disc C: However, in Windows Explorer I am seeing a second "drive" - Local Disc F: This appears to have the same size and free space as the C: drive, but when I open it it says it is empty.
I need to use the drive letter "F" for one of my external hard drives, but need to get rid of the phantom F drive first. How I can remove the "drive"?
