One quick comment. While the entirety of the idea seems very specific to your needs, one small part of it seems like it might be generally useful. There are many times when I want to remember the location of a file.. A little right-click file extension with an item "Add to favorite files" which just added the file path to a text file that I could open and browse would be neat.-mouser (October 13, 2016, 06:13 AM)
... and it wouldn't let me give it a window of more than 12 hours, ...-wraith808 (October 02, 2016, 06:34 PM)
Yeah, annoyed me too but it did say that it will check to see if the computer is being used if outside that 12 hour window.Then, when it started, it had removed/blocked my displayfusion. And put up some BS FUD about it might damage my computer.
I didn't get that, DF continued to work without a problem, ClassicShell upgraded itself to cope with the new updates.-4wd (October 02, 2016, 07:22 PM)
I was actually able to get it to run. And the thing that bothered me about the check for activity, is that it takes 90 mins+ to install. Just because I went upstairs to get coffee, I wouldn't be ready to install.
And they installed skype, and made it front and center.-wraith808 (October 02, 2016, 07:40 PM)
... or more likely, "We know how to protect users from themselves, think of all the support we'd have to provide for Home users when they screw up their Group Policy settings or forget their Bitlocker password, that'll cost us bucket loads, just remove those items from the Home edition."-4wd (October 10, 2016, 08:24 PM)
That makes a bit more sense. Not that I agree that it shouldn't at least have some easily unlockable featureset, but I can see that rationale.-wraith808 (October 11, 2016, 06:55 AM)
Think back to how many times in the past you've had a user in a business environment ask you what the green files are for ... and that's about as much justification as is needed.-Stoic Joker (October 11, 2016, 11:11 AM)
Afaik, you are attached to a singular Gmail account, and I have different accts for biz, personal finance, travel, Bible, etc.
Theoretically I could use it for my conglomeration forwarding account, I would have to test that to see how it works.-Steven Avery (October 11, 2016, 07:39 AM)

@4wd: Thanks!
@wraith808: It might not seem to make sense, but it might make sense if one realises that some moronic marketing guy at M$ probably thought it made sense.-IainB (October 10, 2016, 12:24 AM)
I guess this is the result of the Microsoft/Ubuntu partnership since Windows now has Bash available.-4wd (October 06, 2016, 05:30 PM)
JennyB, you inherited your mom's big house, but were afraid time & maintenance would eat the worth.
So, how did it all go? Did you leave it all and biked out of Ulster, or such?-Curt (October 06, 2016, 04:03 AM)
I suspect it's not for me because I dont understand what it would be used for -- is it aimed at musicians?-tomos (October 05, 2016, 01:30 PM)
