How Large is your All Program Menu


Recommended Posts

I don't understand why people try and keep it as minimal as possible, with all those folder craziness.

You just create more job for yourself and keep all the old stuff, if you didn't go and remove manually the folders after uninstalling a software/game (Because the shortcuts that the setup has put in your start menu, has been moved to different folder).

Heck, half the time, the uninstallers that aren't using NSIS or MSI are broken and don't remove the folders and shortcuts from the location they put them in in the first place.

I bet a Fed is browsing through here taking down names along with a list of all the programs each person has pirated. :shifty:

Um.

Neowin does not pirate programs.

Everything here has been purchased!

I don't understand how people can't keep their computers organized and allow their Start Menu to be 3 or 4 columns long. It takes time to find anything and half of the programs listed there are not used at all anyway (like program which start with the computer, etc)

I think in general it takes less time to put a game/program in a correct category than to look for something you need EVERY single time you want to run it.

I'm not going to include a screenshot of my own Start Menu, I'll just say that it consists of:

Accessories

Startup

CD-RW Stuff

Development

Games

Network

OpenOffice

Media

System

and that's it.

Alot of people around here use CCleaner, I just run its reg cleaner after uninstalling software and it finds any broken link's in my start menu and gets rid of them, no looking for them :)

If you ask me not sorting your start menu creates more "craziness" when trying to find something : P

    • I happen to try it today not knowing about the update and was happily surprised; it is great.
    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.

    • This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.  
    • Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
    • Big fan of EAC Here's a good non-default naming scheme I found on the web (can't take credit) File Name Scheme - %albumartist%\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Various Artists Naming Scheme - Various Artists\%year% - %albumtitle%\%tracknr2% %title% Also, I need test but there is a new flac.exe binary & dll you can drop in the folder to upgrade flac support. I did this pre EAC 1.8. EAC 1.8 did upgrade it to 1.4.3. Flac 1.5.0 came out this year. https://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/xiph/releases/flac/ I don't know how much of a difference / impact will make.
