SS use by mouse alone? Most op sys have an on-screen keyboard. This is essential for aged, bed-bound cripples like myself (ex IT consultant).
So my ARCHIVES folder is interesting. The folder on my USB-OFFLINE drives covers ALL my computers, notebooks, netbooks & smartphones. So it differs to the one below. Notice the dates & times are created by the standard SS icon. I'll show my preferred SS icon bar later ... it is very different to the DEFAULT SS icon bars, because it is NOT DESIGNED FOR KEYBOARDS, but mouse & voice-command users.
When SS grows up, it will realize that MOST PC USERS rarely use CLI and keyboards.
Volume in drive E is E NTFS 3G DATA 242-300
; C is ' C PAVVY2 BOOT. My second HP PAVILLION (every few years). E is 242 GB of my after-market Samsung 300 GB HDD.
; Overheating destroyed the first cylinder (under warranty). GPARTED created a hidden first partition of this destroyed cylinder
; this was created by GPARTED in OPENSUSE, so uses NTFS-3G. Microsoft does not know the difference between DATA, ARCHIVES & PROGRAMS, so puts it by default onto one enormous partition. Easily fragmented, malware-crippled, obliterated. Linux has crazy names for its partitions, so I default them to NTFS-3G partitions. Linux also wronly thinks that file defragmentation does not happen.
Code: Select all
Volume Serial Number is 40E5-E84B
