Yes all that will get you to the Control Panel if you have a memory (your human brain) that can handle all that info plus the other places you want to open.... So in the mean time where is this wonderful simple menu that lists 99% of all the places you want
to get to in Windows 10???? written in =text type= a simple list form that's made for all us

dummies. thank you Tom Cotton

PS: I am sorry but that menu Microsoft is bragging about giving us back is a sorry

peace of work.

For those who prefer, or just want.....there's still All Tasks (God Mode). Slowly getting trimmed, as is Control Panel, but still there. Can view as a grouped list or with visual thumbnails, with search. One convenience of All Tasks is the ability to quickly create a shortcut on your desktop, and then put anywhere you wish....just by right clicking. Just another way to get from here to there.......
