Annoying things about Windows
#21
Looks like I've been beaten to posting about Clippy. Tongue

And I despise Windows Update too - it came up during my LP recording session tonight. You'll be able to see it through the opaque window title bar at the top of the video screen when I post it. Wink

It's been almost a year since an LP - what is this!?

Haha, good answer! Hope it's the continuation of Riven.

That's another annoying thing about Windows, that it won't play Riven or CC anymore since it's so new. I can name quite a few games that fall into this category nowadays.

Actually, I have Windows 7 and have been able to play both on it - granted, it is the 32-bit version.

I hate the ".docx" file extension name; ".doc" is so much cleaner and aesthetically pleasing.

That's true but I think they wanted to make the incompatibility a bit clearer. I personally don't really care.

While writing this message I accidentally Caps Locked, by the way.

...well, Word gives you that annoying dialogue box everytime you try to save to an "old" format: you know, "data may be lost," etc. Maybe it's the "x" that annoys me so. I don't think I'd be quite as annoyed if they called it "docc," or something like that. "Docx" just sounds like a virus or an adult-only film about a medical practitioner.

Does anyone actually use the "Recent places" function in Windows? I don't have a problem with it, exactly, but it seems to be a rather inefficient way of accomplishing what Shortcuts (both in the Start Menu and on the Desktop) could do.

I have discovered that there is no way to turn off the sound in the new Word, short of going into Control Panel and messing with the Windows Sounds menu.

That's one thing I don't get. Why does DOS not work on the new Windows anymore? Some of the best old PC games were on DOS, and Microsoft took it out. Slight frown
