Just finished installing Windows 8 and then upgraded to 8.1 and after first adding a start menu and then searching all over to find out how to get rid of things like the library etc. I was on to personalization (another joke).
So now it looks as good as I can get it I am on to installing my applications, but I have one major issue that is causing problems with this. When I double click on my network icon to see my other computers it only shows my printers and when I am installing something and I need to access the network I see nothing and have to abort the install. The funny thing with this is if I open it from the run box \\otherpc it will work.
So I decided to continue on install other apps and got to Winrar. It installs with no errors but I don't have a context menu in Windows Explorer. Have tried to set this up within the program to no avail.
So I have decided to put any installing on hold in case I just need to go back to Win7. Anyone have any ideas on the above issues.
Much thanks
