Thread: Snap

You can avoid Metro, even, w/out adding anything. That's what I was trying to articulate a couple or entries back. You can go to Desktop & never look back. I've been doing it, I know it's possible. But, yes, one way or another, if it bothers a person, so-called Store APPs and Start & its Tiles can be avoided.

And, yep, as David mentions, it, basically, is, then just another Windows computer, though better than ever. But, yeah, just, still, windows, menus, click, close, save, print, all the usual stuff. Run programs, open stuff, spend time on the Net... it's not intimidating or weird or bad... just a bit different. But, that's ok. It's better, too

What's this about potatoes?

Hi Tanzanos.

Just install Classic Shell...

Welcome to Classic Shell

It will be just like using what ever version of Windows you want.
I've used it ever since Windows 7 came out.

Here's my desktop on my new computer...



Your computer will boot directly to your desktop.

I also recommend Rocket Dock.
That's it at the bottom of my screen just above the task bar.

About RocketDock - RocketDock.com

Watch the video!!!

Mike, I don't think the RocketDock link is going where you wanted it to. Maybe but, I don't think so... you check it.
It's going to a place to get a toolbar that is known malware/spyware.

Cheers,
Drew

This is my desktop. I do not use the taskbar. I prefer to use shortcuts on my desktop.

Mike is just recommending a demo video. There is also a download tab on the link where you can download the full program. I have not heard of any spyware associations with the site?

Hi

I only get the window with the Rocket Dock video on it when I click on it.
I actually downloaded it from here...

RocketDock - CNET Download.com

I usually download everything from either cnet or file Hippo.
I've never had problems with either.

Mike

The only negative comment I have to say about CNET is their reviews on the software. I have come across rave reviews on software that other sites and forums totally gave them a thumbs down and recommend to totally avoid. I have never had any malware from CNET but their opinions on software is something else. They praise software that is basically worthless. I don't remember offhand the pertinent software. Download only when you are sure it is good software. FILEHIPPO is much better.
