Hi there, new to this forum, but certainly not to the PC. I have been dealing many years with all kinds of things PC, am fortunate enough to know the man whose father (co) invented "Collosus" the first real computer in Bletchley Park in the UK, and I work as a computer systems integrator too for a large defence company in the UK.
Now, I have upgraded a while ago from Windows 7 to 8, and finally 8.1. Love many thing, hate a few, but I like being reminded of peoples birthdays and other dates on start up. Windows 8 xx is not for everyone I admit.
Do you miss the Startup and shutdown buttons though. Here's my solution.
Download these batch files and stick them somewhere on your PC, make a shortcut to them on say your desktop - here's my desktop btw. https://skydrive.live.com/redir?res...uthkey=!AAW-dq_LvNIIviE&v=3&ithint=photo,.jpg
And here are the two files to d/load and place on your PC, just right click, make a shortcut and change the Icon accordingly (I have used Shutdown and restart icons) - enjoy! https://skydrive.live.com/redir?res...060&authkey=!ABwagAupWSr_z0I&ithint=file,.bat
