Like most people, I still have a "Control Panel" item in the left pane of File Explorer, but it irks me that when I click on it, I always get the Category View. This setting used to be remembered in older OSs, but apparently no longer. Now, given this list, I can obviously create a shortcut...

Just realized that 11 gives no indication of what (if anything) might be in a folder, and came here looking for a fix. You say that this is back as of 22557, but do you have any idea when this will trickle down to us "outsiders"? ;-)

Yes, but the issue that this PowerToy was created to address still exists 25+ years later. On thinking about it, I'm astounded that this little tool hasn't been baked into the OS after all this time. I keep a 95 machine on hand and fire it up once or twice a year when I'm feeling nostalgic for...

Yes, I've read about the current crop of PowerToys, but these apparently address new issues. It seems that nobody at Microsoft is interested in updating the "oldies but goodies" to current standards, and I came here to ask if anyone knew of a third party version. Since my OP, I tried...

I never did that - AFAIK, I've never even read any of these Insider posts, until I started looking for a place to post this question.

I recently had a situation where I really missed the old TARGET.DLL from W95. Has anyone made a version of this that's compatible with the newer OSs?

Okay, I'm "opted out" (I think), but I still get the red numbers in the top bar. Isn't this supposed to stop that?

Ridiculous the number of places that apps "can be be ;) found at" these days.

If I did that, my right click menu would almost be tall enough to justify Microsoft's "simplified" W11 alternative.

That's good for some Microsoft apps (like Notepad and Paint) but not others (like WordPad). It's no help for third party programs, either, but most of them should have old style shortcuts somewhere in the old Start Menu folders. (I dread the day when I find some "Modern" app that I need to do...

Shortcuts created in this manner don't show up when placed in the SendTo folder, so does anyone have another alternative?
