Isn't that clever! And I like your screen recording program. I suspect Bill_D will have some great software to share also if he discovers this thread.

When Win8 came out I decided I needed to figure out what in heck it was doing so I worked through a couple of the Lynda.com tutorials to see how to use it, and that helped. It was designed specifically to be used on touchscreen computers and tablets, but people resisted using the touch screen, making the design seem a bit overblown.

I use a double-wide monitor setup and they're both 27", so a lot of real estate to work on. The thing that drives me nuts is when something happens that suddenly lines up all of my icons in one place and the order and distribution has to be recreated. The newer desktop seems to eliminate that occasional catastrophe. I still have a couple of generations back folder that was a virtual desktop where I kept all of those links in one place. I just opened it - it's a folder in my documents and is a series of folders and individual files, photos, pdfs, etc. I should probably look through it and delete it, though I still use it for a couple of things (out of habit.) Those folders are linked to my main desktop.
