    Hello everyone, hope you're doing okay!
    A couple months ago I started noticing a problem with my PC. I noticed that most of the times, when I shut it down (I always close all the programs running) and then turn it on again (instantly or hours after), all of my programs were open again.
    It was as if it had saved my previous session, even tho I manually closed everything.
    But what I think is the worst, is that if for some reason i was using Youtube, every time I started my PC again it would start playing the video EVEN ON THE LOG IN SCREEN.
    This is major problem , I haven't even introduced my key and all of my thing are already working. Can you imagine something like this happening to your home?
    I think this is a big security and mostly privacy problem, and i'd like to get some sort of official feedback.

    :)

    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

    Windows 7 Major Flaw

    Thanks folks.. i'll give TeraCopy a try.. I didn't even know there was a 3rd party move/copy app to replace windows default app.

    mikek75, To me it is a major flaw because this same issue has popped up for years in windows and tons of people like to dote over win 7 being so perfect, and all the bugs from previous systems were fixed.. if not a major flaw then a major oversight on Microsoft's part.

    Many 3rd party apps are way better than windows default.. I wonder why MS doesn't get a clue and redesign all their stuff.

    I have used Rollback RX and Comodo Time Machine to replace windows system restore, we can all think of better than Windows Defender, and now TeraCopy solves problems of windows move/copy app. I have used windows explorer replacements too.

    You know.. someone should start a " better than Windows 3rd party app replacement thread "and list all the great stuff that's out there.
