Why can't I just get rid of the Metro UI altogether?

I don't want it, I just want Windows to function like 7 does, however since you've decided to make DX12 Windows 10 only, I'm going to HAVE to upgrade at some point. 
The metro crap is so annoying, like when I right click to disable my Wifi adapter in Network connections, it pulls up the Metro UI............... why? Why can't I right click and have a bar pop up where I've right clicked like how Windows has always done
it. I fail to see how pulling up a different UI in another locations helps at all... just makes more button presses as I then have to do a few more clicks in there to get to where I just was on the Desktop.
Since I have 3 monitors, the Metro UI always opens up on another monitor, which makes it even more annoying.
I just want it all gone, I've never used it, I have no interest in your tablets or phone so I couldn't care less about it. Just give me a plain and simple Desktop for fuck sake!

That assumes Microsoft actually has both the intention and the talent to change it for the better.
Where's the evidence of that?
With the latest build, 9860, we see what changes, exactly, after 3 weeks of work?
Slight tweaks to the theme (which is ugly).
New/adjusted window transition animations (which are annoying and don't handle the drop shadow properly).
A new Notifications window that appears BEHIND an auto-hidden Taskbar.
A prototype zPC Settings app that implies they're re-implementing the control panel in Metro/Modern.
Event messages that are virtually all undocumented.
No build symbols available on the Microsoft online symbol server.
A Task Manager that still won't remember what tab it was last on.
Gargantuan CPU and GPU power and we still can't resize a Metro/Modern app to be small.
Ask yourself:  Do we see ANY evidence at all that Microsoft has made ANY direction change from pursuing that which caused Windows 8 to fail?
Where is the innovation?  Where is the effort?  I'm just one engineer and I can tell you my own software products have changed more in the past 3 weeks than Windows has.

    1. Firefox is the only browser that always give me trouble attaching files in gmail. I still use firefox for all browsing but for mail attachments, I use others. And yes, I have done the "Clear cookies, reset, reinstall, clear cache, etc etc etc... none worked for more than a few days. no such problem with other browsers.
    2. Your new updated search bar (Top right hand corner) is nice but can be very irritating for the following reason:
    I like to highlight - copy (a word or phrase) - and paste it in the search bar. was fine with the older version, but now as soon as I right click to past, the menu pops up for me to select a search engine. Very irritating since I have yet to paste the copied word or phrase. I rather paste it and then have the option to click on the drop down menu. If you see this as not something masses would want, please place an option in setting for us to stop the suggestion for search engines coming up automatically when we try to right click in the side search bar to paste.

    You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.
    You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
    Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in prefs that you can find on the about:config page.
    *browser.newtabpage.pinned stores websites that you have pinned to a tile.
    *browser.newtabpage.blocked stores websites that you have removed by clicking the X button in a tile.
    So you can reset those prefs via the right-click context menu to reset changes made to the about:newtab page.

    Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

    It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

    - I have elearning courses, inside i want to embed a video
    -i then upload my courses to a site called bloomfire, basically a content management system for customers to login to
    -i cannot upload a folder of files, so i upload the flash file , then the video file and my link to the file is cited in the captivate file..it will not work. I even have the 'behind the scenes' link which is one an amazon s3 server...still does not work.
    -it also wont work if i host the video on vimeo
    I have spent so much time on this I just need a video to play somehow...any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    Thank-you,
    Kelly

    Hi,
    Thank-you for your response.
    Can you tell me what you mean by the .js and .css files? what about them specifically?
    I am able to apparently link to a video I put on my own website that is just http. Should I be able to link to videos on vimeo normally? Or youtube?
    Thank-you,
    Kelly

  • I've loaded Firefox, I get led to everything other than how to use it. Why can't I just get a usable Web page?

    I have uninstalled Firefox several times today. I attempted to reinstall and kept getting "update" pages that do not seem to lead to a Firefox browser. I've looked at the help pages and they lead to confusing but unhelpful sequences. I want to use Firefox to use bookmarks and to extend material that will be helpful to me as I pursue Web sites.
    I'm not interested in complex and multilayered until I can get basic functions operating as I expect them to operate.
    I started using Firefox 6 months ago and it worked fine. I liked it and it served me well. I recently updated to #37.0 and since then, I cannot get past the first page which instantly shifts to a page the give me options that are useless to me.
    Shou0ld I drop some of the plug ins?

  • After almost a year - duh - I see that v3.6.4 got stuck mid-download; now I can't proceed or get rid of the Software Update 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' -so how to update now?

    I have Firefox 3.6.3 on a mac os x 10.5.8 laptop. Often when I open Firefox there are updates available for plugins & addons and I install them. Now Firefox often crashes while in use and/or I must force quit. I finally went to the Help menu on the Firefox menu bar and saw this message: 'Resume Downloading Firefox 3.6.4...' When I click on the message I get a new 'Software Update' window with this info: 'Paused downloading Firefox 3.6.4' (stuck); a 'Details' link (dead); and 'Connecting to the update server...' (never connects). Sorry, I couldn't figure out what the 'Firefox location bar' was and so can't get report IDs, though a while ago I stopped reporting the problems. I want to update Firefox without losing any of my stored settings/info. PS I just saw my 'installed plugins' list. 'Displays PDF documents in the browser' is listed but doesn't work; 'iPhoto6' listed, but I run iPhoto '08 (7.1.5). I'm not sophisticated enough to recognize the other plug-ins. Thanks!

    I don't know if there are better solutions, and I don't know if what I'm going to write is real also in mac OS: in windows and linux you personal settings (bookmarks, history, plugins, etc...) are stored in your home directory and not in firefox installation directory. So what about to uninstall your current version, download the new one from firefox web site and install it? In my opinion all your data remain untouched.
    A better solution may be download the new version and install it without removing the previous one, the installer should overwrite outdated files ;)

  • Why can't Apple Just put "generation" on the device?

    You would think a company that is so famous for user friendliness would have figured out by now they could use that fancy laser etching they use to write "Made in China" and the Serial #, etc, to just write the "generation" directly on the device along with serial number etc. I'm trying to buy a case as a gift for a non-techie grade schooler. I don't have physical access to the device and it is a bit much to try to get the kid or the even less techie mom to determine the device's "generation". Apple themselves have had to write a convoluted guide to determining it and virtually every accessory is specified in terms of what generation is for.

    What should work is to:
    - Enter the serial number here:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    - Enter the model number (engraved on back) in a Google search. Sometimes this results in confusion between a 2G and 3G iPod but those use the same case.

  • How can I get rid of the logo background

    I'm trying to get rid of the logo background on the BC template for the following trial site:
    http://saddleriver.businesscatalyst.com/
    Here's the HTML part that I've been tryng to work with
    <div id="logo">
            <div class="logobox-bl">
            <div class="logobox-br">
            <a href="/"><img alt="SRRC" src="/images/Logo-1.jpg" /></a>
            </div>
            </div>
            </div>
            <!-- close #logo -->
    And here's the underlying CSS:
    #logo {
      text-align: center;
      position: relative;
      top: -10px;
      left: -4px;
      float: left; }
    .logobox-br {
      background: url(../images/roundbox_br.png) no-repeat bottom right;
      margin: 0 0 0 30px;
      padding: 16px 30px 16px 0px; }
    .logobox-bl {
      background: url(../images/roundbox_bl.png) no-repeat bottom left;
      position: absolute; }
    I tried to get rid of the background images altogether, by deleting the two "div class" from the above code but it shifted the layout.. When I try to delete the background images - nothin happened. Could these images be embedded in the template PHP - if so, where do I look for it?
    Could sombody suggest a solution?
    Thank you,
    Anna

    Hi Anna,
    This system is not PHP so there is no PHP and you do not have access to any server side coding.
    Do not delete the actual html, in your CSS just remove the background from the css of the element.
    .logobox-br {
      margin: 0 0 0 30px;
      padding: 16px 30px 16px 0px; }
    .logobox-bl {
      position: absolute; }

  • Why did you get ride of the YouTube app in ios6

    Why did they disided to get ride of the you tube app in iOS 6

    You cannot download the original YouTube app. There is an iPhone version in the App Store but its not the same. Google is reportedly working on an iPad YouTube app.
    This may enlighten you.
