1406947	2015-08-18 02:58:00	Hi all. Some questions please. From 8.1 to W10. 1} 8.1, when clicking on red cross top right I would get a drop down asking, "Cancel all tabs" or "Cancel this tab only" I don't havit on W10. Only Cancel all tabs. Is it hidden somewhere or have I got it wrong? 2} 8.1. Click on an empty space onscreen to get a dropdown to select an action. Not on W10. I want the "Send To" command. 3} As above to make a shortcut onto screen. 4} Are there any bloat programs that could be removed? Thanks. PJ	Poppa John (284)

Thats in Edge - the other main browsers, Firefox, Chrome and Old IE are still the same as always. 2. You wont get a "send to" on a empty space on the desktop - What are you trying to send, the whole Desktop ? You need to select something first, this has not changed since previous versions of Windows. 3. If you want on the start menu, then right click what ever it is " pin To Start". If you want something on the desktop like a shortcut, right click what ever it is, ( programs generally) Open File Location - then right click the Icon you want - Send to Desktop / Create Shortcut. 4. Start menu and tiles :p	wainuitech (129)

So I tried to shortcut it but no go. Can you explain a bit more? Thanks. PJ	Poppa John (284)
1406952	2015-08-19 06:54:00	Are you meaning create a bookmark, so its on the screen to that page ?	wainuitech (129)
1406953	2015-08-19 07:20:00	I got rid of the new Edge browser PJ. I put Internet Explorer as the default browser. I haven't got my lappy with me for a few days (using a tablet) but do a search or look in the menu for it. I can't remember exactly how I did it but maybe wainuitech will help :) (great bloke to ask when you have a problem - thanks WT) Edge really annoyed me and I decided to dump it using the "better the devil you know" theory. I think Edge is a work in progress. Ken	kenj (9738)
1406954	2015-08-19 07:50:00	Are you meaning create a bookmark, so its on the screen to that page ? Not sure about that. I wanted to right click on the item & go thro to "Make shortcut" from the dropdown. PJ	Poppa John (284)

In the search start to Type Internet Explorer and it will appear, right click it pin to start or Pin to Taskbar -- OR if you want it on the desktop as a shortcut, Select Open File Location - then right click the icon in the box that opens - Send to Desktop / Create shortcut. 6701 OR like I do, install a dock, and have it there. (also have Pale Moon, Firefox and Chrome) its pick a browser :D 6702	wainuitech (129)
