If you use WORDPAD as your default note-taker for making fast notes, you've surely noticed that it's default is to double space. (As of June, 2016 the best online email is Gmail.) I do like the desktop experience with Outlook 2016 - it's superior to Gmail.įinally, another tiny but annoying problem that I solved long ago. Win Outlook 2016 does work well, but don't try to sync with. But, even that was just a buggy, partial success.

The insane kludge that I finally settled on was transferring my files from Win Live Mail to Gmail using IMAP. Forget it! It can't be done! (I can't possibly be the only one who used Windows Live Mail for years.) Another, stupid time sink. Don't you want your bonus?)Īnother problem that caused me a day of heartache was trying to transfer my old email files from MicrosoftLive Mail (Livemail used to be Windows Outlook Express) to Outlook 2016. Just make Google's Chrome your default browser. (For example, are you actually at your bank's secure website (https) or at the site of some spoofing pirate?) The new, very speedy EDGE browser does not display the entire URL of the website in the address bar. Try it!īefore you take off, here's another weird little problem in Windows 10. So trivial, really - and, yet so frustrating! You can only drag the window, if the cursor is actually IN the title bar at the very, very top of the window (and not even a tiny bit below it. The Solution: The Cursor Must be at the Very Top of the Window How can they be that stupid? Where were the user focus groups? (I guess that's part of why Steve Ballmer was replaced.) Look at the stock chart! This has been dead money for 15 years. The result is that in some programs you just cannot tell where the title bar ends and (for example) the URL bar below it begins. Well, for some reason (it took me several days to figure this out) the window would move sometimes and not at other times (and in some programs and not other programs.) The Problem: Part 2 - the new title bars are all white

Or, you take a shrunken window and slam it against the top of the monitor to expand it to full size. Then you drag the window to where you want it - to another monitor. If you're like me (you are!) you take your mouse and put the cursor over the title bar at the very top of the active window.

I devoted a whole article to What's wrong at Microsoft.) The Problem: Dragging Windows with the Mouse

But, honestly, why didn't Microsoft crack this in a user focus group? (Please, don't get me started! Just look at their stock chart relative to Apple. So, I swore at it for a week (there were other problems, too) and then I reinstalled my trusty Win7 (by just plugging in another SSD.) One of the little nagging problems I had was that I couldn't reliably drag the active window with my mouse.

Windows 10 - this stupid little problem (among others) kept me away til now.Īfter Microsoft started their forced cram-downs of Win10 in December, 2015, I thought, "Ah, poo-poo - I'll knuckle under." So, I put a blank SSD into my trusty Win7 tower (the case is always open,) and let MSFT overwrite my venerable Win7 (see next story.) 2017: Future Memory: Nantero, Intel XPoint
