I had to purchase new computers for my wife and son. So W11 home edition it is. $12 for for the family pack of startallback and the PC's run as they should. It's so stupid that I have to do it, but it clears out all the annoying shit so it's worth the few bucks.
I have been using classic shell/open shell since Win8 anyways. My screens look the close to the same since Win7 and I am not changing anytime soon.
I've been using classic shell fro years. Is there a reason you're paying for startallback?
They successfully reverted adding a custom toolbar to the taskbar. I create one for each of my cloud drives and one for the desktop. It turns a folder into a menu.
I organize my files in nested folders. It allows me to open files/programs much faster than searching using the mouse hover on the folders
For example:
Clouddrive^research/2023/ file.
Older files or less frequently used ones are buried deeper in a folder tree. Actives ones are very shallow so it's fast to find them.
