  1. How do I stop "Link to Windows" giving me notifications about being connected.

    I LOVE "Link to Windows" but one annoying feature is that it's constantly sending notifications to my phone to say "Your Devices are connected" and telling me that my tower is connected. I KNOW! It has been for more than a year. I don't need to be notified of this every time I get near my...
  2. Solved Want Windows 11 to open File Explorer when I put in a USB drive

    Fabler: No, to fix another problem (one that Windows apparently has acknowledged but didn't fix), someone suggested that I do some option to go back to the win10 right click options. That solved that problem, so now i see things a little differently. The issue was that renaming a drive was...
  3. Solved Want Windows 11 to open File Explorer when I put in a USB drive

    Oh, i've seen Brink's name before so that gave me confidence. ;) It wasn't that I wasn't trusting HIM. It's just (as a non-techy) a leery feeling any time I run a script rather than using the screens of windows that have been vetted so much. Just feels like something mysterious happening...
  4. Solved Want Windows 11 to open File Explorer when I put in a USB drive

    Brink: Good idea. I set it to "Ask me every time". It didn't ask me. But then I tried your other idea at Enable or Disable AutoPlay for All Drives in Windows 11 Tutorial Although it made me very nervous to run something I didn't know what it was (and still honestly don't), I gave it a...
  5. Solved Want Windows 11 to open File Explorer when I put in a USB drive

    So it sounds like we ALL have the same settings, but it works for everyone but me and "Linw"? Don't know what to do from there to fix this now!
  6. Solved Want Windows 11 to open File Explorer when I put in a USB drive

    Hi Glass! I tried it your way and got the screen below. In both cases, it looks like I'm set up right. I'm not sure what you mean by setting it to the default, but I just tried changing that first dropdown to "Take no action" and clicked save. Then I came back and set it again to "Open folder...
  7. Solved Want Windows 11 to open File Explorer when I put in a USB drive

    On my old computer (Win 7), it would automatically open File Explorer for that drive upon insertion. My Win11 computer doesn't do this and I'm assuming there's a way. I tried googling it, but so much of what's out there is for Win 10, despite my putting "Windows 11" in the search. I found...
  8. Can we really annotate in Snipping Tools on Win11?

    Over this non-techie's head. I'll just do copy from the Snip, open paint from Start, and paste. It's not that much extra work than OpenWith, right? ;) And I'm assuming the resolution would be the same.
  9. Can we really annotate in Snipping Tools on Win11?

    cereberus, I'm not sure what you mean with the powershell command. I CAN get to paint just by bringing up the app; just not by clicking "open with" What would that command do? and how might we trigger MS to look at that bug in Snipping Tool?
  10. Can we really annotate in Snipping Tools on Win11?

    Not sure why, but I can't use the three dots idea. I don't see an option under three dots for Paint, but there IS an "open with" option. I clicked that, hoping to see Paint among the choices. but before any choices can come up, I get a pop-up that says: SNIPPING TOOL Something went wrong...
  11. Can we really annotate in Snipping Tools on Win11?

    In the Microsoft Play Store, the description of Snipping Tool says that you can annotate your clippings, but all I can see to try to do that with is the clunky pen tool, where handwritten letters look really unprofessional. Is there something I'm missing about adding text to what I clip? If...
  12. When I try to rename a drive, File Explorer renames the one above it instead!

    Reported to Speaker Hub as per LesFerch's instructions, thanks. Let's all do so til they fix it so others don't accidentally rename their Google Drive like I accidentally did one day! :-) But I like the Win10 option.
  13. When I try to rename a drive, File Explorer renames the one above it instead!

    yes, dennis. It seems repeatable by enough of us that it's not calibration. Plus, I'm using a mouse and, as you can see in the example, it's highlighting the right one. It's only after I chose "Rename" that it picked the wrong one. Of course, I can't even test it now anymore because i...
  14. When I try to rename a drive, File Explorer renames the one above it instead!

    Loving the classic menu so I'm set on this issue. If you tell me how to find this Feedback Hub, I'll be glad to report it too. Not sure what that is.
  15. When I try to rename a drive, File Explorer renames the one above it instead!

    TVeblen, I LOVE this! I just did the disable you recommended through the Shell (which I had to learn about; new for me) and, while it did require a reboot, shazam! All my old options are back without the annoying extra step of "See more". In particular, I create shortcuts a lot and now it's one...
