    File Explorer in Windows 11 is a significant step backwards.Examples of major defects:1] DISAPPEARANCE OF MENUS WITH ITEMS ACCESSIBLE BY KEYSTROKES =>To perform an operation, you now have to execute a series of pointer movements with as many clicks.This affects:the main menuthe contextual menu.=>Instead of taking a fraction of a second, each operation takes several seconds.In addition, instead of concentrating on your work with your eyes rather towards the keyboard, you have to follow each phase of the operation on the screen.= a considerable waste of time.2] THE OPTION "Also apply this

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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

    Some files listed in Windows Explorer are blue font

    I seem to have run out of room on a Windows XP Pro system. I tried to defrag but don't have but 7% room available. I looked in Windows Explorer to try to find some huge files that might be corrupt and I see a few that are listed in blue. What does that mean? I have not compressed anything on purpose. Thanks
