Windows 11?
Can’t find time (or disk space) to install Linux
Especially time, dont believe the lInUx Is EaSy crowd. it is a learning curve if u want to do anything more than the most basic operations, and you can forget about most of the software you’re used to.
I’m not saying it’s easy and it does have a learning curve, however it’s not so different than learning Windows from scratch. Once you get the basics and start to solve your problems on your own, believe me it becomes much more straightforward than Windows. Under the hood, Windows is a mess.
I legit ran no icons and single click mode to make my desktop look like a web page back when I was in high school.
Active desktop with google search in an iframe and a midi playing in the background was the way 😤
I remember installing a file run URL protocol for use with active desktop. Had fancy on hover icons for my programs. Would never install such a thing now.
Windows 95 vibe
Right click on your desktop, create a new text file. Paste:
@echo off taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows del /f /s /q Explorer\iconcache*.* del /f /s /q Explorer\thumbcache*.* Start explorer.exe
This will end the explorer process (the one that shows you the graphical user interface / Desktop), clean your icon and thumbnail cache and restart the explorer.
Rename the created .txt file to .bat and run it. If you can’t see the file extension (e.g. .txt), open an explorer window (e.g. “My Computer”), click “view”, then click “show”, then click “show file extensions”.
This should usually do the trick, if a reboot doesn’t help.
