looks like I'm already in desktop mode and the thing may or may not be downloading 'classic shell' as I type - no way I can see of knowing

Every browser has a function/menu to see which files are being downloaded, and which are finished downloading.
Apple or windows alike.

not this puppy!

hitting settings does nothing

uninstalling the printer does nothing

hitting the e for internet explorer does nothing

says its been downloading 'classic shell' for about 15 mins, with no sing of anything anywhere.

decided to do a restart, shut down with no problems, restarting now

thanks

Then its either a problem that can be located between the screen and the seat or a problem specific to your machine. I personally looked if classic shell could be downloaded and it was in in a few seconds.

restart has helped

printer now located and printing

going to attempt the classic shell - wish me luck

bingo

the 'edge' thing is blunt but IE finds and downloads it

cheers

Do many go back to Windows after getting used to Apple ?

I’ve kept a netbook just in case I want to change the settings on my Smarttop module but that’s the only reason I would fire it up!

I use the same on all MS desktops inc. 10. It puts all the things you need right back into one menu
Hated it when MS started to think a desktop was really an ipad

For me that moment came when they introduced the winXP start menu in 2001. Classic start menu FTW (the whole classic theme really)
