  1. Windows Explorer search issue from Home location.


    Windows Explorer used to default to the documents folder. I could easily search for files using the search bar. With Windows 11, it now defaults to the Home location. If I try to search for files, nothing happens. I have to manually click on documents before the search feature works. I've tried to change my default Windows Explorer location to Documents, but it isn't listed. I've updated my index as well. Nothing seems to fix the problem.

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
