    "Save" opens "Save As" window


    Hi there,

    I'm working on a new Windows 10 PC and it has a very annoying quirk that I would like to turn off if at all possible: When I choose the "Save" option in any app it doesn't just save the file over the last version as it used to. Instead the "Save As" window opens up and I am forced to choose the folder and file name again and confirm that I want to save over the old version. It's a small thing but I have to do it so often in a day that I would very much like to have the simple old/normal behavior of the "Save" option back. Where can I change this setting? Thank you!

    :)

    Save a collection of open windows


    I work on a couple of projects that last several months each. When I work on a project there'll be a couple project views, plus several reference pages open. I work 3-4 hours at a stretch, then save the work and go on to other things. Coming back to the project, I'd like for the last collection of open windows to appear, instead of finding and clicking on a bunch of URLs. The Libraries and Quick Access list are candidates for this, do you have suggestions on setting this up? Help will be much appreciated.
