Windows XP original theme was the best. Not at a nostalgic level only (which of course affects me and my memory), but I felt it was so easy to use and so easy to find everything. Today, Windows 10 control panel is a mess.
The Control Panel in Windows 10 is now legacy, with most things now under Settings. Eventually it'll go away I guess, but some apps still install their own little control panel applets.
Either way, the best way to access everything you can do in Windows 10 is do it via the 'god mode' folder:
1. Create a new folder
2. Rename it to: GodMode.{ed7ba470-8e54-465e-825c-99712043e01c}
3. Open it
The 'GodMode' part of the name, can be anything you like tbh.
Yeah that's the problem, it's not. Microsoft should really be more focused on usability, the whole "i wanna be touch-panel" is just stupid, MS you are a PC! Even Apple said that.
You do get into a bit of a problem when you put Windows on a tablet such as the Surface line. I think that’s what Microsoft was trying to solve with Windows 8, but they failed very badly. They have fixed some things such as removing the Start Screen and putting back a Start Menu, but the fundamental problem of putting a desktop OS on a tablet (touch targets must be bigger than click targets) still exists. I don’t see them fixing it any time soon, but I’d love to be wrong.
Oh gosh, yes. It gets a little bit better if you organize it alphabetically, but then it is alphabetical left to right, top to bottom. It's as if somebody intentionally designed it to be as difficult to scan through as possible.
Upvoted this, because I always found rtl-then-down ordering confusing af. On top of that, every generation of windows renamed items, like "Software ...", "Programs ...", "Add/remove programs ...", etc.
