Windows 10 Tweaks & Fixes

what's an 'autorun'?
In task scheduler->task scheduler library->microsoft->windows->windows defender, there is nothing there.
Anyway, it's not a big annoyance now because I just made the deny rule for smartscreen in my firewall permanent, so it won't ask me again.

I'm using OpenShell on Win10 LTSC, have been since I started using Win10. Great little program to make things more classic, used to run ClassicShell on Win7. OpenShell has not given me any trouble in the least.

 

OpenShell is just the community continuation of ClassicShell, after the developer stopped development and made it Open Source. Code-wise, it's still pretty much the same, apart from a few hotfixes.

 

^ Trufax. There are a few noticeable changes but it's mostly the same as ClassicShell. I disable "Classic Explorer" and "Classic IE" and only use the start menu.

 

I actually like classic explorer a lot. It has some real handy tweaks like wider indents on sub-menus. I use explorer heavily for file navigation so I get unhappy when MS screws with it. Anything I can do to make it better is great for me.

 

I like some of Classic Explorers features like disabling bread crumbs and yes the wider sub-directory indents in the navigation pane are nice as well but it doesn't play nice with dark mode. It changes the font color in the address bar to black and there is no way to change it. ¡No bueno! If they ever add more options to the settings to change text colors and the ability to skin the toolbar and status bar, I'll install it, but until then I can live without it.

 

Updated OP. Will work on it from time to time. Some tweaks might not work with newer versions of Win 10. Be careful.

 

I use a light mode so I never even knew there was a problem with that. Unfortunately it seems development is not all that active on OpenShell. Just hope it sticks around for the duration. I can't stand the Win10 start menu, totally retarded, OpenShell is my savior there.

 

The tips were pretty dope

 

No doubt there are various tweaks to fix this issue

You can do the same for Event Viewer

 

Thomas,
In the "Computer Management" section, it's missing this line:
@="Computer Management"
