| 1319373 | 2012-12-20 10:21:00 | From memory you can right-click the icon in Search and create a shortcut there. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1319374 | 2012-12-20 10:29:00 | No. it doesn't. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1319375 | 2012-12-20 11:03:00 | Find Windows Media Player in Search then right-click and choose Open File Location at the bottom of the screen. Then right-click on the Windows Media Player shortcut in the window that opens and select Send To - Desktop (Create Shortcut) |

| 1319378 | 2012-12-20 11:14:00 | Somebody (this forum) was saying that Classic shell has got some problems, not too long ago, has it been fixed? How do you find using it? Any 'undesirable' side-effects? | bk T (215) | ||
| 1319379 | 2012-12-20 19:20:00 | Seems fine to me, been using it for 4 versions now for both Win 8 and Win 7. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 1319380 | 2012-12-20 19:33:00 | 3.6.2 of CS used to crash on here (its service after so many reboots / boots). The author made another version of the service . But it made no difference to 3.6.2. It still crashed But since 3.6.3 has been released, its been fine. Don't ask me why the old version crashed. I have no idea. Dont know if the crashing has been fixed in 3.6.3. Until it decides to crash again (it hasn't YET) |

| 1319381 | 2012-12-22 06:20:00 | Every time I try to use 8 I get frustrated with how awkward it is and go back to 7. So far I've pinned most things to the new start screen but I can't say it's growing on me. I like a graphical menu I can navigate with my mouse that organises all my software so I can find the things I don't use often. None of this push a button and start typing rubbish, is this windows or DOS ? also I have a bad memory for the name of programs I use occasionally. So yes, right click send to desktop - and pin to start screen while you're at it - windows just becomes a mass of shortcuts and tiles. I never liked a cluttered desktop myself, but MS knows best..... |
