Four weeks, that's all.
Twenty eight days.
Hardly any time at all.
Shouldn't be a problem ... except ... what if they don't work on the day?
I'm really glad Herself talked me into testing her pressie to me: the first was physically damaged, the second worked fine right until you plugged it into the mains, the third had a dead USB port, the fourth is fine (and sitting under my desk happy as a sand boy just itching for a power cut). If I hadn't tried them ... Maybe you should open them, just to check ...

Don't say that, I would have to ship them back to the UK! It cost me 40quid to ship them here!

Tell you what, go out to the front gate and then come back inside. The time you spend after that drying yourself and changing should distract you enough.

Yeh, it was a bit wet.......we got off lightly, one of the other villas, the roof drain was blocked and it came inside flooded everything and shorted out the electrics.....

I totally understand. Got a few nerf guns for my son and myself and I really really want to bust them out now.
Also I'm 99.1% sure that my wife will get me a VR headset of one kind or the other for me so I can't wait.

Windows 10.
... Windows 10 ...
... every time I turn around, you've found something useful to remove again.
The Windows 7 taskbar was really useful, and one of the nice features was "pinning" files to pinned apps on the bar - so I could have half-a-dozen Visual Studio projects ready to open at a "right-click, move mouse, click" and VS opens with the project loaded. And if I wanted - and I do - I could drag'n'drop those projects into the "right" order" in the list.
But ... Microsoft, Microsoft ... not in Windows 10. To reorder the list, you have to unpin them, and repin them all in the "correct" order.

Well you've already got your own answer (W7) - get work done in an adult environment. To test in x use a VM; the bit of extra work required is less than fighting to attempt real work done in ms OS for dummies and computer illiterate infants.

You can click and hold and drag the order on windows 10.

I can't, and I'm running Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.447) - i.e. Anniversary Edition.
"Hold and drag" just moves the selection highlight for me.
And MS: Why can't I copy and paste from the Winver screen?

Do you ever get the feeling that Windows 10 is being outsourced to a bunch of QA surfers?

Nah ... that was Windows 8!

Strange...even with 'Lock the Taskbar' selected, I can still click and drag the order of the items.
My build number is the same.
|
|
|
|
|
I got the same problem, can't reorder them.
Same build number.
Very very strange

That's actually a relief - I was beginning to think MS was out to get me personally!

I wouldn't be so sure, MS might be out to get me 2.
I'v seen bugs fixed and then "fixed" again in next patch
I wish OS's would go back to being just an OS (you know communication between hardware and software) and leave the rest to programs.
These days it takes longer to deactivate (cause you can't uninstall it anymore) all the crap you don't want (and redo that after every update) than it takes to install the software you actually want.
But hey it's "progress" right?

Are you sure you're looking at the pinned jump-list items, and not the items pinned to the task bar?
windows 10 - How do I rearrange pinned taskbar items? - Super User[^]
I'm on the same build, and drag-and-drop doesn't work for the jump-list items.

I'm talking about taskbar, as that is what was mentioned at the start!

Sounds like jump-lists to me.

So do you want them to leave it out or put it back in?
Make your mind up!

This[^] seems to say that it must still be possible (under "Rearrange...").
|
|
|
|

All I can see there is rearranging the buttons themselves, not the files in each buttons pinned list (which appears when you right click the button).

As this morning my phone's browser crashes when CP goes secure...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.
