  1. Keep windows like Firefox and file explorer from shrinking when low resolution applications...


    So when ever I run an older program that has a 4:3 aspect ratio or just low resolution, all my other windows and tabs get shrunk small, then I have to go and resize every window manually. Is there a way to keep this from happening, besides running the program in windowed mode? Like perhaps there is some way to lock the sizes of each window? Idk.... Any help would be much appreciated

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
