Me too. I've been accused of being a bit behind the times.

Ok, so who has what or used what (as in boxes or apps), and which source providers (subscriptions)?
Now that I have moved to Cyprus from Qatar I need to sort out telly viewing options for when the rest of the family arrive. IPTV is something that I have never bothered with or looked into before and having done a few days of research on the net, there are a million pages and youtube videos and it is a minefield.
I did manage to get my UK-Qatar tunnel easily flicked over to UK-Cyprus, so have the AppleTV and Samsung Smart all working fine with iPlayer and the like without any Geolocation issues. They work flawlessly over the adsl connection I have. In fact they work better than I thought they would.
The fastest ADSL connection they could sustain/provide is a 16d/1u, so going to have to get a WISP installed, so already identified who I am planning on using for that. The beauty about my location is that up in the hill with full view over the area, all the WISP providers in the area should have clear line of site. I think I will use the WISP provider for the general internet use/iptv and keep the adsl link for the UK tunnel.
Any info on IPTV appreciated!

Just saying you might want to be careful about that. The country has some strong 'opinions' on what is allowed, and legal systems in general are not great fans of attempts to circumvent what is allowed.

Quick, and correct!

Most of them cause me moderate to serious head-scratching, but occasionally there is one like that that just leaps out at me. 
I now have 23 hours to think of something...

That's the way it goes sometimes.
Well done!

As I said in my recent report( The Lounge[^] ) I'm running Creators update.
Now, I just tried to open a command window by holding shift and right-clicking a folder in Windows Explorer. Well, they removed it.
Here's the image of my choices now:
Command Window gone[^]
Yes, it's replaced with a choice to open Powershell.
I'd had heard rumors about Powershell completely replacing the Console but knew that wasn't going to be the case. However, they're making it more difficult to get to the console window.
Also, I know I can edit the registry to add this back in. It's so exciting to add functionality back in, Microsoft. 
I like this option because it places you immediately in the correct directory.
Yes, you can still right-click the start menu and get to the Console there.
Thanks, Microsoft, you've changed my UX -

I prefer using Quick Launch (Win 7).
However, at work, I often have to run things (VS, SSMS, etc.) as other users (service accounts) so I have written a simple little WinForms app that provides me a matrix of buttons so I can choose the app (including console) and the user.

Why are they trying to hurt us like this?

Perhaps it should be named as "Command Window Destroyer's Update" instead of "Creator's Update".

In the address bar, type cmd then press enter. Does this still open the command window in the current directory?

Yes, it does! I've never heard of that trick before. I wish I had know that years ago. Thank You.
