Windows xp vs xp pro

After all this, I would once again be able to type in the name for the document as I see fit. Clearly, at least to me, this is a verbose explanation of a Windows 10 con. Please allow me to restate the previous con in different words. In Windows 10, I can press the alt key while a folder window is active. This displays several characters on the screen.

Each character is a hotkey that opens a menu. Once the menu is open, several new hotkeys appear. Unfortunately, opening a submenu only exposes a limited number of newer hotkeys for the menu contents. My guess is that most users are okay with the limited number because the majority of Windows users only typically use those items.

I, too, agree that only a limited number should be visible because I would be overwhelmed if all of them had a hotkey. Unfortunately, the ones I got very used to in XP are no longer available. There are several ways that Windows 10 could solve this hotkey problem. First, if I were able to right-click the option and select "Customize hotkey" in the right-click menu, then I would be able to specify the hotkey I wish to assign to that particular menu option. Second, somewhere in Windows Settings, the user can specify keyboard shortcuts and assigning hotkeys to menus and their options.

The second con has to do with clicking the folder icon in the "Quick Access Taskbar". Most of the time I enjoy seeing the recently opened files.

There are times when I wish to go automatically to my documents instead. Being able to do both makes sense to me. If there were two similar icons for navigating my documents, one for recently opened files and another for seeing the folders within "My Documents", this would solve the problem.

The main reason for this gripe is that in Windows XP, I took for granted being able to click once and type. Log in. Install the app. Contact us. Close Menu. JavaScript is disabled.
