Well, I just moved from a Model T to a Lincoln Navigator.First techie treat in a long time. Picked up the new ASUS 13" ZenbookUX305. Very nice.
I was going to install the classic shell because I thought Imight be intimidated by 8.1 but decided to jump right in. I've managed quitewell but there is lots to learn about 8.1, the apps and the Zenbook programs totoss; so you will be fielding lots of questions.
First one:
It comes with a 256GB SSD split in 2. OS is on "C" and takes up about30 0f 95 GB. "D" is named "Data," has 167GB and iscompletely empty. What am I supposed to do with that? Seems like I should beputting "USER" stuff on it...Docs, Favs, Dessktop etc.
Second one:
No matter what I do, I can't get rid of the taskbar "Touch Keyboard."I've stopped and disabled it in services and unchecked it in taskbar toolbars.It always comes back. Several Googlers say the registry needs to be changed and I aint goin' there. Not a big deal, I just hate things that torment for nogood reason.
Third one:
Decent speakers but apparently notebooks are known for having no volume andthis is no exception. I installed a free version of DFX Souind Booster whichdoes what I want it to do but it's ugliness sits on the desktop like adiscarded potbelly stove. Any other unobtrusive free boosters out there?
Thanks and stand by for more.
