Is the homepage of Win10 Preview 9860 really hard to use?

It has been nearly a month since the release of the Win10 technology preview. The Win10 version we acquired has also been upgraded from Build 9841 to Build 9860. I believe many early adopters have also discovered many interesting and fun features.

Compared with Win8/Win8.1, Win10 does improve a lot in many aspects, but some of the functional adjustments make many users feel very uncomfortable, such as Win10, click fixed on the task The resource manager of the column, the displayed home page is not this computer, nor is it "library" instead of "home page".

Since the Win7 era, this incompatibility has emerged, and the reason is that Microsoft has been trying to fade the concept of the drive letter, so that users can smoothly get rid of the drive letter.

At the time, Win7 introduced the concept of a super taskbar and a library, which made the habits of Windows users change.

Before this, most users entered the program through shortcuts on the desktop and the start menu, and over time, more and more users became accustomed to pinning frequently used programs to the taskbar. , including the most commonly used resource managers.

Afterwards, users are very concerned about the existence of "library", and "my computer" instead of "library" as the default home page of the resource manager, is also emerging in the network.

Gradually, the "library" that is not accepted by users has faded out of sight.

Now enter the Win10 era, Microsoft uses the "home page" as the taskbar resource manager home page, most users including the author are not very suitable.

At the same time, I also tried to find a series of methods that I hope I can still use “ this computer & rdquo; instead of the home page, to use as the resource manager home page.

But with Microsoft's paper announcement that modifying the registry will affect future upgrades, so that we have almost no choice, only to guard against the "home page" to use barely.

Although it can be achieved by directly fixing this computer, but the taskbar has an icon, and the Explorer folder will be launched when you open this computer, which is not so comfortable.

Accepting the reality and after some tossing and using it, the author found that the function of the homepage is actually not as uncomfortable as we imagined. After the creation, it can completely replace "this computer".

Click on the folder icon in the taskbar to enter the homepage. At this point we will find some file history we have used here, if you don't need to deliberately right click on the taskbar, in the properties. Make settings to cancel the display.

In the homepage, the author found that the items that were fixed in the taskbar explorer appeared on the homepage. After discovering this logic, the author tried to right click on the taskbar folder icon, then Clear all “fixed” content. Then open “this computer”, drag all the contents to the taskbar folder icon.

Open the homepage again and do some sorting and grouping settings. "This computer" is officially settled on the homepage, and the effect is the same as before.

Continue to deepen the training, the desktop, common folders, and even Onedrive can be fixed on the homepage, so that the home page can replace "this computer", and the operation is faster, after use, You can clearly feel the improvement of operational efficiency, we no longer need to enter "this computer" to find a variety of documents, or look around for the movie just downloaded.

Our other music, movies, and work-related folders can be placed on the homepage for direct access.

A netizen commented that from a long time ago Microsoft was diluting the concept of the drive letter, from the Windows 7 "library" to the Windows 8.1 start screen, and now to the Win10 "home page" or even The OEM pre-installed system also has only one drive letter, but it has not blocked the user's dissatisfaction with the habit.

With the passage of time and technological advances, Microsoft's Windows update method has also changed, from the past system version to the complete replacement, to the current system version unchanged to add features and components.

In the future, users may no longer need to reinstall the system or GHOST one-click installation. The latest version can be obtained only through Windows automatic update. The role of the drive letter may gradually fade out of the Windows user's view.

But it's still too early to say, but at the very least, the author has accepted the concept of Win10's "home page" and tried to reduce the impact of the drive letter on the operation.
