Worst Windows command ever

I have the keyboard shortcut that lets you copy selected files with some kind of ctrl click. I don't want to select 400 files, having to select the 401st file (which is in the middle of other files in the same folder), just to click in the wrong way accidentally, and have my 400 files copied to the folder. I do perfectly well with ctrl-C, thank you very much. Is there any way to turn this inbred command off?
 
unistall window...

Seriously, I encounter this as well on my laptop. I get the feeling when this happens it's my own mistake. I believe I make the error bydraging en droping the selected files instead of selecting the other file I want to select.
 
Move twenty files at a time? Use ACDSee instead of Explorer?
 
I'm planning on getting a new PC, I won't be using Windows with it, that's for sure.
 
I hear you brother! I utterly hate that copy thing too. That together with the fact that if I have hibernation activated and shut the lid on my computer, first it will go into stand by mode, then it will boot up to go into hibernation after a said time. IF the battery is low at that point (which also can be the underlying reason for hibernation) a message will pop up saying "Please shut down your computer, your battery is low" preventing the computer from shutting down. Possibly one of the most retarded design errors ever since it usually leads to some minor data corruption as well.

Hibernation in itself is a bad design element of Windows. Many computers go into it... never to return. Id suggest turning it off to be safe.


The feature I hate most about windows *drum roll* STICKY KEYS!!!! -CHRIST I WAS HOLDING THE SHIFT KEY DOWN BECAUSE I HAD A MOMENTARY WRITERS BLOCK WINDOWS! MOMENTARY!!!! *shakes fist*
 
My "sticky keys" was, god bless asus, deactivated from start. I guess they did something right with their custom package.

I deactivated hibernation quite early on after, like, three "power faults". (That's basically when I realised what was wrong)
 
The default setting of Windows Power Management that automatically tells the computer to shut down whenever you press the power button instead of showing a prompt.

Nice when it happens as you are doing a Windows update, the system shuts down and the update fucks up the OS. Sure you can do a system restore (sometimes) to change that but that setting sure is annoying.
 
Unless there's a major compatibility issue with the software I use, I'm switching to Ubuntu next time I get a computer.

I strongly suggest it.

Linux in general is growing in a big way right now, the amount of users is skyrocketing, due largely to Ubuntu.
I have my complaints with it, but for the most part it is great.
I think that personally it is better once it has been modded to remove all the feeatures you don't use.
 
will you asstards quit blaming Mickeysoft for your own fucking incompetence?

fucking hell, yes windows is fucking buggy and often badly designed, but most of what you're saying here IS YOUR OWN STUPID GODDAMN FAULT. you goddamned whiny bitches...

fuck, time to quote Richard Cook again: Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the universe is winning.


now, as for linux? yes, it rocks for everything except gaming and quick & easy setup. the gaming incompability or slowness of required emulators is what keeps me from using it as a main desktop OS.
 
I agree, its best to do a dual-boot setup with XP or Vista for gaming and high end production software like adobe photoshop and premiere.

But if linux ever eventually picks up enough steam, it will start to collect a decent bit of games.
 
... feeling like you're a hacker because you have Linux installed.

There's no Cubase for Linux, hence it sucks.

I'm just saying, that keyboard shortcut is really in the way and poorly designed, as it's too similar to a keyboard function used far more often. Grow up.

this isn't a standard windows command. you're blaming the wrong people. rather look into either your pc manufacturer or your mouse drivers.

1) you can cancel the copying while it's copying.
2) you can use the undo function to remove the wrongly copied files.

fuck off.

seriously.

lately all you've been doing is bitching and moaning about everything and nothing, while blaming any encountered problems on others and begging for help for a wide range of shit.

No need to be rude, now.


What I'd want most with an OS is to be rid of all the unnecessary crap that's there. I want a completely stripped system. I never use about 80% of all functions in Windows. I hope there are alternatives to it, I guess the limiting factor is compatibility with high-end programs such as the Adobe series and Autodesk software.

And Linux for...?

:lol:
Anything and everything that isn't a game. And since I usually stick to old games that run on dosbox or wine, I have no worries. But for the cases I don't, I use xp. And everytime I boot back into linux I am reminded just how terrible and less functional XP really is, with the large majority of its features requiring workarounds or indirect methods to get things done. Windows is made to run out of box, but it is also made to largely stay the way it is installed. I don't like that, my needs constantly change, and so do the types of tasks I use on the pc. I need something that can get more done without spending so much time trying to get it to work, or having to hack some stupid crap into the software equivalent of a bike helmet with a flashlight duct taped ontop.
 
Surprise, there's only Linux anymore, Microsoft's bought out the rest of the monopoly board, unless you want to buy a mac that is...
 
Hey, I personally don;t care if Microsoft owns windows.
Infact, if Microsoft wanted to make their own Linux distro, and it was good, I'd use it.
Or if they made a version of Windows that didn;t suck, that too.

But they don't.
All I want is an OS that I can EASILY tweak into oblivion, that doesn't feel like it's treating me with kid gloves.

Really altering most things in windows, like the gui or many of the concepts behind the settings is a long and arduous fight to get windows to do it, and using alot of patchwork modifications that only hide problems instead of really fixing them.
