Sorry, Stuart, I can't get your humor: - first, [WindowsKey] was added to keypads not that far ago at least not 23 years ago; - Win 3 didn't have [Start] button located in the bottom left corner of display/desktop - if you mean you're missing it in Win8 - [Start] button was added to Win95; - did you ever try to work with Win8 for a few hours, have you seen all the programs you setup get their shortcuts placed on Win8 desktop if you select so during their setup so actually there is no need to manually create shortcuts on classic Windows desktop? - when [WindowsKey] + R is used you get 'Run' dialog opened, which have a combo-box with all previously started programs so you can just type one-two-three first chars of a program name to get it selected in combo-box and then push [Enter] key to get selected program started; - ... ??? Thank you. -- Shamil Monday, May 27, 2013 5:42 AM +10:00 from "Stuart McLachlan" <stuart at lexacorp.com.pg>: >> [WindowsKey]+R to start programs by typing their executable file name >> /full path etc.. > >Talk about "back to the future". > >We stopped doing that 23 years ago when Win 3 came out :-) > > >-- >Stuart > > >On 26 May 2013 at 23:05, Salakhetdinov Shamil wrote: > >> Hi Jim -- >> >> I can understand folks who do not want to upgrade to Win8 because of >> inertia, luck of money, so many bad reviews posted everywhere on Win8 >> but I can't get what "feeling of frustration" forces folks getting >> Win8 preinstalled to make their systems downgraded to Win7, do you? >> >> I mean if they dislike/do not need to work in Win8 UI mode they can >> use [WindowsKey] + D to get into Windows classic desktop mode, put >> some frequently used programs short-cuts on desktop or just use >> [WindowsKey]+R to start programs by typing their executable file name >> /full path etc. - it's all very similar to Win7 ... >> >> -- Shamil >> > > >_______________________________________________ >dba-Tech mailing list >dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com >http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech >Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
