thank you kindly, you are a very industrious and helpful person; I appreciate it and because i really do not like windows 10 too much, for what it left out from windows 7, dumbed it down in my opinion. It has its strengths and qualities, of course, just not to my particular taste nor needs
I do miss not being able to pick my desktop fonts, colors and other nice and easy little tweaks made available in windows 7. I had changed over to Linux about a year or so ago with Mint17, I joined the windows insider program as soon as it became available and continue with it-but in a virtual machine. I only put windows 10 into one machine from 7—->10 2days before the ‘free’ part expired. I wouldn’t have done so if there werent the easy 30day roll back option , i am sure
I like Mint very much, but I still like certain parts of Windows because there are more programs written to it for now . Your efforts actually help Microsoft windows for me , some of the tweaks you have provided and given commands, scripts and paths /locations of things within the OS keep me interested as well as offering a few nice and quick changes to access things easily
thanks again
