  1. Windows update changed file explorer background


    The latest update changed all of my backgrounds to black. White text on black background in file explorer is impossible on my eyes. Is there a way to set the file explorer background to light and keep the photo viewer dark as it was prior to the update? The custom settings allow for differences between file explorer and apps, but don't apply to the photo viewer.

    :)

    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
