  1. Why switch to a local account?

    I simply setup automatic login on my Windows towers since they each serve something on the our LAN and also remotely when a user is away (Plex, Blue Iris, Calibre, etc). They all use the same MS account for login.

  2. Firefox is quite bearable browser so far

    Love the new vertical tab support.

  3. rounded corners (address and search bar)

    It already has slightly rounded corners, so not sure what your query is, TBH.

    Calendar and To Do widgets no longer available in Microsoft Store for Windows 11

    I am using "Calendar Dashboard" from the MS Store. The only tricky thing is It messes up all day events (puts them on the wrong day), so I have to set times to get them to show on the correct day.

  5. Custom Icons for Windows 11 Thread (Folders, Dropbox, Google Drive, Podcasts, NVME Drive, Steam, Adobe)

    I love cutout folders, myself :-)

  6. Solved Still not possible to get "New Outlook for Windows" to show the calendar directly at startup?

    Actually it's easy: Open Outlook (new), right click on the calendar icon located on the left sidebar and choose "Pin Shortcut to Taskbar". Note: Duplicates events in screenshot simply to make them show on my Google web calendar.

    General Add Empty Folder context menu in Windows 11

    Not sure what changed on mine. I upgraded to 24H2 a couple days ago. At least if the one file doesn't work (wouldn't work on any folder suddenly), it looks like the second posted one will likely get it to working again. 👍

    General Add Empty Folder context menu in Windows 11

    The old download reg file reads: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Created by: Shawn Brink ; Created on: September 24, 2022 ; Tutorial: Add Empty Folder context menu in Windows 11 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\EmptyFolder] "Icon"="shell32.dll,-16715" "MUIVerb"="Empty folder"...

    General Add Empty Folder context menu in Windows 11

    I copied the entry from my 23H2's registry and it is back working. So, the working reg file should be this version: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\EmptyFolder] "Icon"="shell32.dll,-16715" "MUIVerb"="Empty Folder" "Position"="bottom" "NeverDefault"=""...

    General Add Empty Folder context menu in Windows 11

    This is no longer working after I updated to 24H2. It shows on my context menu but is no longer emptying any of folders I used to use it on. :(

  11. Solved Upgraded to 24H2 and cannot find the network icons system file

    I took the dll from another 23H2 desktop we have just to open CG so my network locations icons could be put back to the ones I like via CG's General Icons. I said "No" whenever it asked about replacing with a backup, BTW.

  12. Microsoft store games, where do they go? They list in alphabetical order in apps, but they are scattered and hard to find

    Make a new folder in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu, put all the app shortcuts you want in there (great when you have a lot of a certain type like games). Next make shortcut to this new folder in same Start Menu folder you are in. The shortcut to the folder...

  13. A list of recent folders, not a Recent Folders shortcut to a list of recent folders

    No, but you can pin it to Quick Access. Use the run box to open shell:::{22877a6d-37a1-461a-91b0-dbda5aaebc99} Click the three horizontal dots and you get the option to "Pin to Quick access". Otherwise, this works:

    Browsers and Mail Add or Remove Sidebar in Microsoft Edge

    I don't like that method of getting rid of the Discover feature and button as I still use the sidebar ... and especially like the new drop feature on the sidebar. I got rid of the Discover feature and Blue button but kept the sidebar by this method: Opened Microsoft Edge, navigated to Settings...

    General Remove Folder or Drive from Library in Windows 11

    Well, I am not seeing the benefit of using them over my currently using Quick Access for my most used locations as they seem to provide the same service and would be a bit redundant. ;-)
