Hey Ghost Administrator, It's MY Computer! - Comments Page 2

Mister Beans, "Classic Shell" will give you the "Start Button" similar to the one in Win 7. But it will not solve all the strange nuances of Win 8 or 8.1 Search online for "Classic Shell."

Thank you Bob for another peep into the entrails of Windows. I hadn't seen the screen that set you off on this investigation, but I followed your instructions to possibly prevent it.
Now I would love to find out how to block WIndows 10 (or any installed programme) from forcing a restart. I keep lots of apps running ready for the few minutes a day I can devote to my keyboard and it is infuriating to find that, not only has my computer been restarted and my apps closed down, but that file associations have been changed to select MS products over my preferred apps.
As you say, who's in charge here?

Bob, gpedit.msc'' and group policy edito''r can't be found on my windows 10 settings.

Great article, Bob! Do you have a "fix" for Win7 Pro?

Another 'Thumbs up!' to Geoff Harris. The link you posted worked just fine.
