Windows: still can't pin shortcuts to settings URIs to the taskbar.
Here's a list of them ==>> https://4sysops.com/archives/list-of...in-windows-10/ BR Last edited by BetterRed; 04-09-2024 at 09:18 PM. |

Another mixed result with Copilot -
what is a good chicken curry recipe that does not use coconut milk or yogurt? It gave me 4 helpful links but I would think there should be a lot more. Way better than a conventional search that ignores my conditions though. And what is a good chicken curry recipe that does not use coconut milk or yogurt? No youtubes correctly filtered those out. Potentially a big help in finding recipes without sugar or salt e.g. |

Quick Launch bar makes everything accessible at one click, including any settings shortcuts. On my Win11 VM, all I had to do to re-enable it was running Explorer Patcher. At work, I had my computer updated to Win11 today, and I doubt the IT department will allow EP installation.

I usually use "hot keys" for all my usual programs.
The problem is, hot keys are offered consecutively to all top-level windows to see who handles it. If there is a top-level window that is slow to react it will eventually timeout. This can add seconds of delay to your hot key reaction. With my new W11, this is pretty bad. I'll get around to writing a program to determine which window is causing problems. It's clear that it's some background thing. Hot keys react immediately after a new boot, but after a minute there is delay. |

Also, rogue hotkeys.
Hotkey Explorer used to be a godsend for this; a little utility that activated every keyboard combo and then intercepted the results in order to determine where the hotkeys were being used. Unfortunately, on 10 and above, the interception part failed hard, resulting in pretty much chaos as it opens a zillion windows and activates narrator and all sorts of things (my screen somehow flipping upside-down was the cherry on top). |

Modem is acting up. It's still... kinda working, though. Wifi is completely out. Ethernet sort of works but slow and keeps rebooting itself.
Going to take it back to the ISP and swap it out tomorrow. Last edited by ownedbycats; 04-15-2024 at 10:29 AM. |

The modem went completely kaput and let out its magic smoke (not even powering on) not long after I posted this. Got out to the ISP's store and swapped out new modem and is working good now.

WTF! … and then I pressed IV's "Tile the wallpaper" hotkey. Aaaargh Needless to say I binned those hotkeys toot-sweet. Desktop software should default to a bare minimum of hotkeys - let the user decide which features should have a hotkey, and what key sequence they want for each. BR |
