It's all text, no icons and it's all in one place, much easier than to scroll few pages.

Once I banished Metro/Modern, Win 8 is just fine and it strikes me as very much like Win 7. The lack of a Start button doesn't even bug me at this point.

/still flirt with Linux, via the KDE desktop.

    Win 8 de-Modernized is pretty much my go-to at this point, but I still flirt with Linux and the KDE desktop environment.
242 is a lot more than I have. But I guess if you organize them in subfolders of your main desktop folder, then they are manageable. But once you have that desktop folder, I would use it for a toolbar. Then they are accessible from anywhere - no need to go back to the desktop.

not wanting to start an argument so don't take this the wrong way ,there is a small icon at the start of each line of text .

my point was that people want to find things quick and a list of 242 items is a lot ,just saying

That small icon is for the whole group, may help a bit with choosing type of setting. I hate having to remember everything, would rather read. Being all under proper headers makes it fast enough to find things in it.
