Following the demise of my old workhorse, for speed I've ended up with an off the shelf desktop pc. It's gone through all its windows updates and now I'm wrestling with the basic setup. I won't get round to installing all my old software, configuring printers etc till at least tomorrow.
I have all my old internet explorer favorites saved to a USB stick but I can't find the correct favorites folder on the new computer to be able to copy them over. I've managed to set up a single favorite website (don't ask me how I managed it) thinking that I could search for that, but it's not showing anywhere obvious. There is an "import from file" option but that seems to require each URL to be imported individually, not what I'm looking for. So please somebody help me out! As a workaround I've copied them all into a folder within documents so I can open them from there, but it's not ideal.
I'm also finding it very frustrating that the ie11 alt a keyboard shortcut to favorites doesn't work in edge, presumably because there is no longer a menu bar. Why can't the teenagers who develop the software they inflict upon us understand that some of us have difficulty manipulating a pointing device and want to use the keyboard? I think I might give edge a wide berth and use chrome or firefox, it will mean learning new keyboard shortcuts but last time I looked they did at least exist.
It has also surprised me that to get the new machine to look and feel like Win7 I need to rely on third party software, not just switch off features I don't want. ClassicShell seems to be the software that crops up time and again when I do an internet search, does anyone here have experience of it?
