Just looking at it is scary... then the sound and shock waves hit

I don't see the problem. Everyone should have a few bazooka rounds handy.. you know, for home defense.

Candidly, I do affirmatively concur on that point.

It is a pity people still record videos in portrait orientation, but I think the recorder had other things in mind.
Impressive blast. The second effect will be when they will learn about what cool chemical stuff has been spread everywhere in the area and will impact several generation of people.
And, on a french side, I can't but shed a tear for all these Renaults.

I have using a nifty app called Default Programs Editor to set up file & icon associations, including the command for the menu commands. I did this with Windows 10 as well. However, it seems that when Windows 10 updates, it trashes all these associations, thereby forcing me to redo everything.  I don't mind doing this once, but it's a PITA to keep doing it!
What I would like to get is some freeware app that allows me to save a set of association commands so that when Windows 10 updates again, I can simply rerun the app to get everything redone properly.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know, I'm afraid. But I do know what I would do if I were in your shoes (hopefully not too smelly?) and I had an application I had used for a long time and liked:
Contact the support of that program, tell them about my problems and ask when they estimate they can have a Win10 certified version of their brilliant product ready...
I have actually done so on several occasions and almost without exception, I have found people to be very nice and helpful. Most programmers want to do good job and have people like their software. And most companies are keen on helping old customers to keep them in the fold.
I think I could live with annoying file associations for a while... There are certainly more serious problems in the world.
Just my 5 cents. Good luck!

"Default Programs Editor" is part of Windows, IIRC

You're saying that there can't be any third party tools with the same name?
I've never seen Windows edit more than one association at a time...
Anyway, if it IS indeed the built in application he's talking about, then clearly it's a bug (more on the update code than the association code presumably) and should as such be reported to the proper authorities...

Ah, yeah, you could be right .. "I've been using a nifty app..."

Well W10 is your chance to do so then. The default apps are set for a range of file types (eg. video, photos).

You could always make a .cmd file with appropriate ASSOC[^] commands.

I forget the specs of the machine, but you start MS Word say, and bam! There is it.
It is so much quicker than any of the later OSs. Probably because it was closest to NT4, and before ,net got to bloat the crap out of everything.

MS Word now is a zip file (.docx). It has to open the zip and read all the files that make up a "Word Doc", in order to "load", thus taking longer.

You can succeed to confuse most of readers here, .zip and .docx are two different things buddy. Did you meant that Open XML[^] is being used for MS Word?
Open XML is still a zipped format.

I stand corrected.
I always open them with winzip, thus the format.
Thanks for correcting me.

I use two monitors, and have a pair of pictures adjusted to fit.
Perfectly, on WIn7: "Sun from Mars" on Left, Portrait monitor; "Sun from Earth" on right, landscape.
Not so on Win10: Bits of each all over the place.  Have to find a replacement for "Dual Wallpaper"
Edit: found it. http://www.tenforums.com/customization/6360-setting-different-backgrounds-dual-monitors-windows-10-a.html[^]
Why do I have a task bar on both monitors? I didn't on Win7, and don't need one on both. Let's play hunt the settings...done.
What happened to Aero? Everything looks so flat, and dull and ugly...
OK...the tiled start menu I will probably get used to. But why can't I right click and get rid of Twatter for example?
And when I go looking for it, why is the font in the settings pages twice the size of the font everywhere else?
I'm just guessing this is going to be a bit of a "curate's egg" - but I'm yet to see anything I like, which is dissapointing.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ermmmhhh, because it's convenient, maybe?
That's why I've been using ultramon for years. I know exactly which icons in the taskbar are applications currently displayed on the respective monitor. So yes, I would find this to be a good thing except my download for Windows 10 hasn't even started yet and everything was done to try to get it started.
Ahhhhh!
