Greetings
As a complete to windows 8 (a couple of days) I wonder about the following things:
1) How do I overcome the dreadful association process.
e.g. I'd like jpg to be opened by Irfan Viewer. Instead I get a list of windows programs I don't want.
second example: I want pdf to be opened by Foxit Reader and they don't because I can only run Foxit Reader as Administrator. (I am administrator and a single profile on my laptop, only trouble is I'm not called administrator)
2) what are windows essentials? do I really need them? can I remove without causing harm to my laptop?
3) what is Microsoft Account? do I have to register? (My laptop is a Dell that came with legitimate and activated windows 8)
I'm waiting impatiently for David Karp's Windows 8 Annoyances which helped me, along with sevenforums.com, with my desktop windows 7 PC...
Many thanks
