  1. Windows 11 File Explorer and using a pen


    The previous behavior in Windows 10 when touching the pen to "whitespace" anywhere that isn't an icon would let you scroll by dragging the pen just like touch input. Now, the behavior is "select files". Is this just an oversight by the developers, or is this the intended behavior? Do I really have to use the scroll bar now if I want to scroll using a pen?

    :)

    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
