What's wrong with Win10 File Explorer?

Yeah, what's up with that?

Some folks don't like having 50 windows open when doing drag & drop / copy and paste?

I've yet to find one that I consistently come back to -- no matter what OS I'm using... Althought Multicommander is looking kinda nice.

So it's more of an issue with Explorer's file navigation in general rather than an issue specific to Windows 10? Because that's sort of the inference from what OP wrote.

Pretty much, yeah. Some folks like using Explorer, other folks like tools like Midnight Commander, et al.

How easy is it to revert to stock Windows explorer after test driving another one?

These are separate apps. You have to run them yourself. They don't take over that I'm aware of.

It certainly could though and may have the option to, because there are API hooks and also, at least I recall in Windows 2000 (may still be true) registry entries to change both the shell (explorer) and the file navigation explorer.

I wrote both shell and file explorer replacements for Windows 98 and also NT 4.0 Workstation and 2000, then I lost interest. I basically was just trying (and succeeded) to force Windows to act like Blackbox when I had to do Windows development.

Crackers, not hackers bro.

Or whatever 1980s, early 90s jargon file stuff people tried to recapture from the media. I am a total green hat, I will be as black or white hat as you pay me to be and I've been paid well to do really mundane shit over the years and sometimes fun stuff.

Rainbow hat

Stay away from my, almost rainbow, plaid fedora.

I'll recruit you yet.

@WrCombs Watch out for those slippery floors

@DustinB3403 He did not, I'm not sure that was grammatically ambiguous. English is not my first language though so who am I to judge?

Edit: Posted my reply at the same time he did.

@WrCombs I hope they lock her ass up

She's been in jail since, The kicker?

She already had her license suspended for 6 DUI's, 3 driving under suspensions, and unrelated, she was found guilty on charges of theft and shoplifting, and facing fraud charges.

Well I realise it's an unpopular thought these days but someone like that is totally un-reformable and clearly is incapable of properly interacting with the rest of society. In other words if I were "in charge" or what have you, I'd consider this situation a capital crime. I'd also not wait 30 years to carry out that punishment [America] and waste tax payers dollars and thus making capital punishment "expensive." It's actually really cheap if you actually do it.

She got the max - 18-20 years in prison. Parole eligible in 10 license suspended for 15.

So she'll be allowed to drive while in prison potentially?

yep : she's eligible for parole in 10 years though...
so if she gets parole, then she'll go 5 years without being able to drive, and have to pay a huge fine.

I'd be sure to go to her hearing in 10 years, if nothing else than to support your friend while he explains that she gets to keep her life and his father doesn't.

Well, it's something, a lot of people get off with no time at all after murdering people with their carelessness.

Edit: and to avoid any sort of potential debate here about the death penalty, I don't really care if people disagree with me, because I'm not in power, I don't vote, and it doesn't matter what I believe because I can't fix problems within the American justice system and neither can you,... well maybe, if you are American and vote I guess. Feel free to disregard me as the shell shocked aging man I am; that's not even a joke.

@scottalanmiller Should have been Comic Sans or Papyrus.

@WrCombs said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

You cant.

I know, I was being ironic, because tips don't count as zakat and even if they did, it's not really giving if you expect praise in return by talking about how giving you are. I do donate money to charity though.

@StuartJordan said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

You are kinda forced to pay a service charge in the US ain't you? Its not forced here in the UK and most don't too but I like to if the service has been good.

Forced? no - as @Obsolesce (I think) was saying - he never tips (I assume that's what you mean by a service charge). It's typically not required -but FULLY expected.

My mother was a waitress. It doesn't matter to me if the food was garbage -- I can't blame them for that, as long as the waiter/waitress was polite and put up with me. I typically give 50% tips to men, 100% to women, and a few times I've gone up to 1,000%. I also tip pizza delivery guys 100% and a few times one repeat deliveries they've brought me "free" stuff.

I realise this is unrealistic for most people, but I'm also attempting to covertly buy my way out of hell.

No, that's a UK thing I thought, they add it, but nowhere I am aware in the US does that at all, just the total and you optionally tip.

@DustinB3403 Oh you card

@DustinB3403 said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Or worse they forcible add a tip without your consent.

My older brother is a very soft spoken gay guy, and I mention this because this happened to him when we were out at a restaurant and he, for the first time in my life I ever saw, flipped out and screamed at the waitress. It was like watching a scene from The Bird Cage.

Iceberg Wedge Salad

I'm not sure what that is but it sounds like a new ice cream or york peppermint patty.

Just to vent a bit, what the hell is with restaurants having menus without any damn pricing. . Seriously who the hell is going to say "I'll that the whatever" and have no idea on the final bill?

I've only seen this in drink menus.

That's how I get stuck with €100 bill for chocolate milk

That's like doing research for software... No Price tag, too rich for my blood. *gets up and leaves.

Oh man, the warning sign is no pricing and them wanting you to contact them, that means they just want to know how much they can rip you off and I can't believe anyone ever falls for it.

Someone rich like me.

JK I'm cheap as hell and wouldn't tolerate that. I'm a good tipper though.

Let's not start the "tipping" topic again.

lol, did that come up? I'm sorry I missed it.
