Switching To Classic View In Windows 10 for Windows 7-type View
|
Tom Behler
Hello, everyone.
I am about to purchase a new laptop, which, of course, will have Windows 10 as its operating system.
I have heard from several sources that you can configure a Windows 10 computer to have a classic view, which resembles the Windows 7 configuration.
This sounds quite appealing to me, since it will make the switch to Windows 10 much easier.
Can someone tell me if this is true; and if it is, can you tell me how to accomplish this?
I hope this isn’t considered too “off topic”, but I can say that I’ll be using the latest build of Jaws 2018 on the new Windows 10 machine.
Thank you!
Dr. Tom Behler from Michigan

I've been running windows 10 since it came out andI love it. People complain about windows 10, but I have not had a problem with it. There was one update about a year ago that caused a problem, butg Microsoft fixed that problem in about two days. Windows 10 is more like windows 7 than was windows 8. Good luck with your new Windows 10 computer. Bob, K8LR, tinneyb@... On 10/24/2018 9:52 PM, Tom Behler wrote:

I have a Windows 7 machine and my wife just got a Windows 10 machine. I need to use screen readers to access everything and sometimes have to work on her computer. It sure would be nice if I did not have to relearn where a function or command was on her computer. I had both computers on a network and they communicated nicely until her computer auto updated it's self and now I can't get onto her computer through my network from my computer. It keeps asking for a user name and pass word which I never set up for. How do I turn this off on her computer, so I can access it from my computer again?

Hi Tom,

I completely agree with Dean, you should learn Windows 10 as it is, you have a desktop just as in Windows 7 except you could, if you wanted, have multiple desktops and switch between them with a keystroke, you have a start menu which still has a list of all your applications and you have the Taskbar which I find extremely useful since you can pin your most used applications to it and access them by pressing the Windows Key+Number on the Number Row. For example, if you have Google Chrome pinned as the first application on the taskbar, then Outlook, then Excel and then Skype you can press Windows Key+1 for Chrome, Windows Key+2 for Outlook, Windows Key+3 for Excel and Windows Key+4 for Skype. You can go all the way up to Windows Key+0 which means you can put 10 applications there and I don't even think most of use that many. Furthermore the Cortana search box which you get when pressing the windows key is a great way to quickly find an application or folder or setting. It will take a bit of practice and experimentation, but between the desktop, the taskbar and using the search box I don't hardly ever even use the start menu any more.

For example, if you have Google Chrome pinned as the first application on the taskbar, then Outlook, then Excel and then Skype you can press Windows Key+1 for Chrome, Windows Key+2 for Outlook, Windows Key+3 for Excel and Windows Key+4 for Skype. You can go all the way up to Windows Key+0 which means you can put 10 applications there and I don't even think most of use that many. Furthermore the Cortana search box which you get when pressing the windows key is a great way to quickly find an application or folder or setting. It will take a bit of practice and experimentation, but between the desktop, the taskbar and using the search box I don't hardly ever even use the start menu any more.

To add one more thing, in Windows 10 you can still assign hotkeys to applications, like control-alt-j for Jaws.

I ran Classic shell when I first updated my previous computer from Windows 8 to 10, and after a while, removed it and focused on Windows 10. It isn't that hard, and in fact, I like it much better.

There really is little to remember except to press the Windows Key and start typing Control, usually by the time you type the "o" it will pop up and say "Control Panel, desktop app" then just press enter and you got it. If not just type the third letter, n, I can almost guaranty that at most you have to type the full word "Control" but most likely it will come up a lot sooner. If you prefer to have it on the desktop as a shortcut, just do the following: Do the above, i.e. press Windows Key and start typing "Control" until you hear Control Panel, desktop app Press the application key or Shift+F10 Arrow to Open File location, most likely pressing down arrow once will do it, and press enter. This will open Windows Explorer and put you in the System Tools folder which is a subfolder of AppData, but fairly deeply nested Now press application key again or Shift+F10, arrow to "Send To", right arrow to expand this and arrow to "Shortcut to Desktop". Just for your information, this folder contains shortcuts for the following 6 system applications/commands: Command Prompt Control Panel File Explorer Run This PC Windows Administrative Tools Another useful shortcut to remember in Windows 10 is Windows Key+X, it gives you easy access to the following items: Apps and Features, f Mobility Center, b Power Options, o Event Viewer, v System, y Device Manager, m Network Connections, w Disk Management, k Computer Management, g Windows PowerShell, i Windows PowerShell (Admin), a Task Manager, t Settings, n File Explorer, e Search, s Run, r Shut down or sign out sub menu, u Desktop, d Lastly, you can also create a shortcut on the desktop and if you paste in the below text into the target field (where it says "Type the location" it will create an item called "Explorer" which you can rename to whatever you want on your desktop. This folder in my case contains 173 items and these are all my installed applications, but also included are things like Control Panel, Command Prompt etc. Here is what you need to copy and paste into the location/target field when you create the shortcut: %windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message-----

easy it is to access the universal apps and desktop applications you use every day . assuming you do so from either Start or the taskbar. But one thing Windows 10 doesn't provide is a way to create a shortcut to these apps so you can launch them from the desktop or elsewhere. Or, at least an obvious way. But as it turns out, all of the applications installed on your PC, including the universal apps that come with Windows 10 or are downloaded from Windows Store are accessible from a hidden shell view called Applications. Once you open this view in File Explorer, you can create shortcuts for any of them. Open the Run dialog (Windows+R=run), type in: shell:AppsFolder and then press enter to view this folder. apps-folder Find an app you wish to create a shortcut for, right-click (applications key, or, shift+f10 and choose Create shortcut from the pop-up menu that appears. create-shortcut You'll be prompted that the shortcut cannot be placed here, and Windows will recommend placing it on the desktop instead. Press enter on Yes. A shortcut with the name App-Name Shortcut (Mail Shortcut) will appear on the desktop. You can leave this as-is, or rename it (I usually remove the word, Shortcut). And you can of course move the shortcut to any folder as needed. Now, just repeat for all the app shortcuts you need. The impossible is the untried, Never under estimate the power of a dream. -----Original Message-----

Thank you Sieghard, It seems a little like we are going back to the days of DOS where we needed to type in the apps that we wanted to open rather than finding it in a list or menu.

If not just type the third letter, n, I can almost guaranty that at most you have to type the full word "Control" but most likely it will come up a lot sooner. If you prefer to have it on the desktop as a shortcut, just do the following: Do the above, i.e. press Windows Key and start typing "Control" until you hear Control Panel, desktop app Press the application key or Shift+F10 Arrow to Open File location, most likely pressing down arrow once will do it, and press enter. This will open Windows Explorer and put you in the System Tools folder which is a subfolder of AppData, but fairly deeply nested Now press application key again or Shift+F10, arrow to "Send To", right arrow to expand this and arrow to "Shortcut to Desktop". Just for your information, this folder contains shortcuts for the following 6 system applications/commands: Command Prompt Control Panel File Explorer Run This PC Windows Administrative Tools Another useful shortcut to remember in Windows 10 is Windows Key+X, it gives you easy access to the following items: Apps and Features, f Mobility Center, b Power Options, o Event Viewer, v System, y Device Manager, m Network Connections, w Disk Management, k Computer Management, g Windows PowerShell, i Windows PowerShell (Admin), a Task Manager, t Settings, n File Explorer, e Search, s Run, r Shut down or sign out sub menu, u Desktop, d Lastly, you can also create a shortcut on the desktop and if you paste in the below text into the target field (where it says "Type the location" it will create an item called "Explorer" which you can rename to whatever you want on your desktop. This folder in my case contains 173 items and these are all my installed applications, but also included are things like Control Panel, Command Prompt etc. Here is what you need to copy and paste into the location/target field when you create the shortcut: %windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: main@jfw.groups.io <main@jfw.groups.io> On Behalf Of Marty Hutchings Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2018 4:33 AM To: main@jfw.groups.io Subject: Re: Switching To Classic View In Windows 10 for Windows 7-type View Yes, but you don't get to it in the same way, and I always forget how I did it before.

I need to use screen readers to access everything and sometimes have to work on her computer. It sure would be nice if I did not have to relearn where a function or command was on her computer. I had both computers on a network and they communicated nicely until her computer auto updated it's self and now I can't get onto her computer through my network from my computer. It keeps asking for a user name and pass word which I never set up for. How do I turn this off on her computer, so I can access it from my computer again?

I am about to purchase a new laptop, which, of course, will have Windows 10 as its operating system. I have heard from several sources that you can configure a Windows 10 computer to have a classic view, which resembles the Windows 7 configuration. This sounds quite appealing to me, since it will make the switch to Windows 10 much easier. Can someone tell me if this is true; and if it is, can you tell me how to accomplish this?

Is it possible to put a link to the Applications folder on the start
menu? I use the All Programs menu in Windows 7 a lot to find those
programs that I didn’t have on the desktop or task bar.
