    Windows 10 - Find actual installed program location


    I am trying to tell Windows 10 where it can find an installed program to use as default, to open a certain file extension. Unfortunately, I cant right click on the shortcut to the program on the start bar and select properties to easily determine the files actual location, as Windows 10 as dumbed everything down, in order to provide a "better" experience. Is there a way to determine a programs actual location without searching for it in explorer? Microsoft really needs to bring back the "properties" menu rather than this useless "app settings"

    :)

  2. Windows 10 installing progs

    I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to windows 10 from 7. I used the Media Creation Tool from MS website. It took awhile, but I am finally running Windows 10 (12-14).

    I opened the new App & Program feature to remove programs that I no longer needed. Scrolling down the list, I was horrified! Apps that I didn't install somehow magically installed themselves. Two programs stood out: Facebook and Candy Crush Soda Saga. Both programs have those tale-tale icons that they came from Windows Store (which I've never even opened). The install date for both of them were on 12-26.

    Is this a common thing for Windows 10? Or is it because I did an upgrade and not a clean install?
