    Can someone ask Microsoft or tell me how to find name and locaton of all the interesting screenscapes that show up at the start of Windows 10? It would be nice if Microsoft would add the name and location right there on the screenscape when it shows up. I would even like to visit some of the places. Send me response to *** Email address is removed for privacy ***. Thanks.

    add a network location windows 10

    Hi Erich,

    Adding a network place in Windows allows you to access FTP, Windows file shares, and some HTTP servers directly in My Network Places, without having to use an FTP client.
    To assist you better, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages when you tried adding a network location?
    • Are you trying to add a network location or map a network drive?

    Meanwhile, if you're adding a network location, we suggest that you follow these steps below about adding a network location:

    • Open This PC in File Explorer, click on the Computer tab, click on the
      Add a network location button in the ribbon.
    • Click on Next in the Add Network Location wizard.
    • Click on Choose a custom network location, and click on
      Next
      .
    • Type the address of the website, FTP site, or network location you want to add, and click on
      Next.
    • If you are allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, click on
      Next
      .
    • Type a name you want for this network location in This PC, and click on
      Next
      .
    • If you are not allowed to log on anonymously to this network location, then uncheck the
      Log on anonymously box, enter the user name for the network location, and click on
      Next.
    • Click on Finish.
    • If you could not log on anonymously to this network location, you will see a
      Log On As
      dialog prompting you to enter the user name and password for this network location. Check the
      Save password box if you do not want to be required to type the user name and password every time you access this network location. Click on
      Log On when finished.
    • The network location will now open.

    If you're mapping a network, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article
    on how to map a network drive.

    Let us know if you need additional help.

    Can app name be changed in All Apps list?

    Welcome to TenForums!

    Presumably you tried renaming the folder in C:\Program files ? That would probably be what broke things...

    What you can do is rename the folder that holds the shortcuts that are used to build the 'All apps' list. Finding it is the problem, there's no 'open folder location' if you right-click on it in Start. You can find it by clicking on the folder to open it then right-clicking on one of the apps it contains. 'Open file location' will be found under 'More>'. Clicking on this for the Malwarebytes that's installed on my PC finds the location:
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Malwarebytes Anti-Malware\Tools
    This is one of two locations that 'All apps' is built from, the one that is seen by all users. The other is for apps that only appear on individual user's 'All apps' and is found at:
    C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

    It's the folder name immediately after ...\Programs\ that you can change. A restart is required for the change to appear on 'All apps'.

    Can app name be changed in All Apps list?

    Thanks to all, especially to Bree who gave some good advice, yet I'm still a bit confused. Here's a shot of my All Apps list showing the MetaGeek (software developer's name) with inSSIDer (the program) under it:

    Can Microsoft please add a name and location of all the interesting screenscapes that show... [​IMG]

    Right-clicking the main MetaGeek heading does nothing, but I can right-click inSSIDer 2.0, bringing up the More and File location options. When I open the file location I get this:

    Can Microsoft please add a name and location of all the interesting screenscapes that show... [​IMG]

    ...which is actually under the complete heading: C:\Users\Lab\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MetaGeek. Note that what's here is actually a shortcut, and if I right-click on the shortcut and ask to be taken to the file location, the screen just blinks, as if this IS the file location. This does not seem to be the right place for a shortcut, there aren't any others here. If I put MetaGeek into the Search window, I get nothing. If I put inSSIDer in the Search window, I get this:

    Can Microsoft please add a name and location of all the interesting screenscapes that show... [​IMG]

    ...which tells me that my program is a "desktop app," although there is nothing to do with the program on the Desktop at all. The program is actually installed here: C:\Program Files\MetaGeek\inSSIDer 2.0, but neither MetaGeek nor inSSIDer is mentioned anywhere here: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, which is where the rest of the programs have a listing. Thus I can't see how it shows up in the All Apps list anyway, whether it's under the heading I'd like to have (inSSIDer) or what actually got there (MetaGeek). This is really frustrating.
