    Hi all,

    Back when my computer was initialized, most of my image file-types were connected to the abysmal Apowersoft crapware. I blasted away that garbage, but still see the vestiges hanging about. Although I have changed the default program for each of those file-types, I still see this nonsense in Windows Explorer:

    How do I change what is listed in the Type column in Windows Explorer? [​IMG]

    I would love to reset this. I can't help but feel like there's some grey-hat nonsense at work. Taking brand stickiness to a whole new height. Anyway, if you have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. Due to the terms surrounding this issue it's been quite difficult to effectively search for an answer.

    :)

  2. How do I change my apps list back to what it was?

    The left swipe Apps list on my windows phone has changed without being updated. Rather then just being a list of apps it now has an alphabet search on it like on the contacts list. How do I remove the alphabet search on it and just leave it as a list
    of apps like it was before?
