Different strokes. Also I'm not pushing this free tool, these two examples are the ones that non-power users may like to have (back):

1. When you click the native Win 10 Start do you see, or have access to this simple list,

"Recent Items" (you had it in win 95, 98, XP and 7)-..... no.

I use my computer for a lot of stuff besides music and being able to see and open the last database, statistics analysis file, or two/three Word docs, spreadsheets, PowerPoints (yea I make and edit a lot of briefings), last couple BIAB songs or Sonar .cwb's because a few days later I forget WHAT I called it - or WHERE I put it.

Yea I could open the parent app and look in its "Most Recent" list (but not always) - that kind of "go find" is the "adventure game" hunt I was alluding to that I like to avoid (memory is the first thing to go?) if possible.


2. With Classic Shell "Start" replacement tool it's just one click to get to the Control Panel - and then I have ALL CP items listed in one total view (faster access to RS-232, Network, SOUND, ... settings).

With Win 10 native it goes Start -> Settings -> find your sub-menu -> THEN maybe find the old control panel/admin tool thing you need, or run Windows search.



my hobbies, besides music, in things like electronics, and my consultant work requires I muck a lot with registry (funny - the most recent was to overcome a Cakewalk install issue!),also a lot of config/reconfig of LAN & WAN and company HW and SW so I need access to things most users don't care or even know about.
