    Hi!
    Seems to me there is a step missing in the registry method. Shouldn’t we name the new key ‘Explorer’ before creating a new “DWORD (32-bit) Value” in/under the new key?

    Hello,

    Thanks for the info.
    Windows 10 is just awful. Surprising how a company that had it all together with Windows 7 can end up releasing such an obviously inferior product. It’s been a downward spiral for Windows ever since.

      Hello,

      Im sorry Microsoft hurt your feelings buddy. You always have the option of going Linux for full blown choice…

      Anyway, Windows 10 has been a great product and has offered a fair amount of improvements. Ive also been running the Windows 11 preview since it release and its been amazing for a beta. I cant wait to see the final release.
