WinTiler2 is not as robust as OblyTile (a similar program designed to fully edit the Windows 8.1 Metro scrren) but it does allow you to make the Start Screen on Windows 10 more aesthetically pleasing. 00:29:05 Lawrence Patterson: Treats, Threats, what could go wrong. :) 00:30:09 Jeff Dubois: Irony: It allows you to turn off start up apps but automatically installs itself as a start up app. :-) 00:34:48 Tom Trottier: Everything is useful to find/delete BIG viles 00:34:53 Tom Trottier: ...files 00:36:05 Tom Trottier: "EVERYTHING" PROGRAM 00:37:52 Jeff Dubois: If you happen to put a large file in your OneDrive directory, and you have a slow Internet speed, and you run the deep clean process BEFORE that file has fully synced, you *might* find the upload gets nuked and starts from the beginning again. :-) 00:41:08 Serge-Érik: You can "Unpin group from Start" by right-clicking on the name of each group one by one if you want to clear all of them. 00:43:02 Claudette: Are you still recommending to wait before updating to Windows 11? 00:44:27 Chris Taylor: @Claudette - I am in no rush to move to Windows 11. But next week - at the November meeting - Lawrence will be spending the evening letting us know all about Windows 11! 00:45:48 Chris Taylor: Outlook uses Ctrl-F to forward an email. So they use F4 (mnemonically unforgettable) to Find 00:45:54 bea: love the ctl F tip! 00:46:12 Tom Trottier: ctl-shift-Z will undo th eundo 00:46:13 Alan German: @Claudette - None of my machines support Windows 11 but if they did I would be happy to make a backup disk image of my system and switch to Windows 11. If I didn't like it, I would just restore the disk image and return to the "safety" of Windows 10! 00:47:05 Alan German: @Bea - Ctrl-F is REALLY useful to find stuff on web pages! 00:47:20 Natalie: Will Ctl+Y work for most programs? 00:47:32 Serge-Érik: Thx Bob. 00:48:07 Gail: Thanks, Jeff, Serge-Erik and Tom! 00:48:14 Edward Morawski: Where there is a change history (eg. Lightroom) cntrl-Z can undo changes sequentially 00:48:14 Tom Trottier: F3 or Ctrl-G often used for "repeat find" 00:48:26 Gail: Thanks, Bob! That was great! 00:48:36 Edward Morawski: Good info! 00:51:54 Chris Taylor: YUMI https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/ 00:55:58 Tristan: An interesting competitor is Ventoy. https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html 00:58:11 Tristan: For the adventurous tinkerers the iodd-2541 looks pretty fascinating. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3090MoSNdQ http://iodd.kr/wordpress/product/iodd-2541/ https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32751762665.html 00:59:24 Bob Herres: Re; Possible Questions for end of meeting.... I like and use Greenshot Screen Capture.... Is Snagit really worth $81.45 CAD? I understand it is much better...? 00:59:47 Serge-Érik: Say you want to ruñWindows XP from YUMI: I suppose you need a license, no? 01:01:25 Tom Trottier: ShareX is very powerful! 01:01:26 Tristan: For quick and easy screen shots on Windows 10+ try using Win+Shift+S 01:02:27 Serge-Érik: Thx, Tristan. 01:02:47 Stew Bruce: Is anyone here still using Patch My PC? My copy had an update last week and when I ran it today on my Laptop, it wiped out Skype! 01:04:14 Jeff Dubois: There's no windows based app for my security cameras. Certainly I can access them off my Android phone but it would be very helpful if I could access them off my Windows machine. Anyone using an Android emulator that might do the job? 01:05:46 Stew Bruce: Bluestacks is the grandpappy of android emulators 01:06:21 Tom Trottier: Google provides emulators 01:07:12 Stew Bruce: nope 01:08:10 faber ichelle’s iPad: Thank you. 01:08:29 Gail: Thank you to all presenters, questioners and contributors in the chat!!! 01:10:33 Natalie: How can I know if the drivers for my hardware (monitor, printer, external mic, camera, etc.) will be compatible with Win 11? Do I need to go to each hardware site to see if drivers are available? 01:11:48 Natalie: I had to change everything when I changed from XP to Win 8. 01:12:04 Natalie: So now my things are for 8.1 01:12:20 Stew Bruce: Where's the win 11 emulator? I don't see it easily thru search. 01:12:38 Natalie: Thanks. 01:13:14 Tom Trottier: Vuescan is good for old scanners 01:13:51 Jocelyn Doire: could you use yumi to install win11 on another partition to test things like that? 01:14:39 Tom Trottier: You can install W11,10,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1... installs on YUMI 01:15:35 Tom Trottier: If one driver does not work, try an earlier driver 01:15:58 Serge-Érik: I used to use BlueStacks as a replacement of Kodi for streaming movies (APK files). Now I use my Android TV with APK files that I load. Maybe you can experiment with with BlueStacks for your camera if the software is in APK format. 01:16:01 Natalie: Thank you for all of the advice! 01:16:40 Wayne: Chris, Allan and everyone thanks for a great evening. 01:16:53 Tom Trottier: Lawrence should have explained w11 on Oct 31... 01:17:08 Edward Morawski: Thank you! It's all been very informative! 01:17:43 Natalie: Thank you!!
