Had to consult with Junior just to get me up & going Anyways he has it set up now and Chrome is the browser. Like others here, I also run Adblock Plus & a s h i t l o a d of other stuff that I haven't a clue what they do. It's sort of nice having built in IT support living in my house
NEGATIVE ........ If you have windows 8, there is a way to have the look and operation of windows 7 on your desktop. My son has my 'puter set up as such so I can still plug along as if it were genuine windows 7 but is actually windows 8. Not sure how he did it but there is a way and it does work Hitting the "Microsoft window" key on my keyboard (yeah I still operate on a desktop!) will switch it from win 8 to win 7 (and vise versa)lannvouivre wrote: I may have to "downgrade" back to 7 because it has to reload every file in the directory if I close "My PC" and then reopen.
