I have tried to do that several times
in the past and it never sticks... threads here do tend to drift
from time to time. Problem is everyone on every computer has to do
it...

Sorry if this came across as negative. I
didn't mean it that way. privacy is just something that I
really don't think people understand right now. Knowledge is
power and we are giving it all to profit driven
corperations. I don't see that doing us any good.

As
much as I need to upgrade to Windows 10, my biggest
concern is, that as a person who values his privacy, I
do not like the fact that Microsoft are making it more
and more difficult to turn off/disable, so many of the
spying and tracking features which are attached to
Windows 10. The one feature, which most of all I
would like to turn off/disable, is the sodding,
annoying, interfering feature, Cortana.
If
anyone knows how to make it, so that any and all
searches I wish to perform on my Windows 10 machine,
are restricted to my local machine, then I would be
glad to hear from you. I can always use a search
engine, such as Google or DuckDuckGo for internet
searches.

Re: Trouble With Right Alt+Arrow Keys
I
will weigh in on this, not trying to argue, but
I had a windows XP computer I bought in 2004. I
used it until December 20, 2018 when it gave up
the ghost 14 1/2 years with absolutely NO
problems! I used Viper and Firefox to access
the web. I used it for 14 years through Vista
(which was terrible, windows 8, windows 8.1 and
then Windows 7 with absolutely no problems even
with no security updates. I like Windows 7 and
hope to use it a long time as well. Windows 10
seems to have a lot of issues which of yet are
not resolved....just my 2 cents.

Indeed,
and I was not trying to imply you wouldn't, nor
that continuing to use Windows 7 is a good idea.
I have, however, witnessed an awful lot of
clinging to dead OSes, and some people are going
to do it regardless of how bad an idea it is to
do so. But those programs that currently run
under Win7 in their current versions will keep
doing so for a very, very long time.
It still only makes sense, if one is sticking
with a given OS ecosystem, to keep up-to-date
with the latest version of that OS as a daily
driver.

The
psychology of adultery has been falsified by
conventional morals, which assume, in
monogamous countries, that attraction to one
person cannot co-exist with a serious
affection for another. Everybody knows that
this is untrue. . .
