Nope. QA would have the strip tightened through the dirt until it was almost in contact with the flatbed.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

As a mechanism for securing the strap it actually makes sense!

Go to the "settings" app.
Go to "System", "About".
Now highlight and copy the relevant info for a "this is what I'm running" type report.
What? You can't? Neither can I...
Fer Elephant's sake MS, what bit of info about windows might we want to copy and paste into a document?

Not so sure it's free - the amount of my time it wastes with annoyances is pretty expensive!

So true.
Over the weekend I reported that Windows 10 auto-updated my laptop graphics driver so that the screen was so bright it was like staring at a lightbulb. I had to determine why I could no longer change the brightness and then install an older driver. Complete. Waste. Of. Time!!

A temporary solution is to use the snipping tool and send as a picture. Copy paste to a document would have been better though.

Isn't this exactly the same in Windows 7 and probably XP as well? Third party applications to copy text from Windows dialogs have certainly been around for long enough to suggest it is.

you can get system info with msinfo32
Right click to start button and select run
Enter msinfo32 System Info app will appear as System Summary was selected by default
From main menu Edit -> Select All and Edit -> Copy Summary info is in in your clipboard
Or you can use command prompt
following will dump whole system info to a text file , summary appears at the top
msinfo32 /report "path-to-local-folder\sysinfo.txt"

I have received an email from a friend which includes a number of attached .jpg. files. When I open the email, I see the files as a row of thumbnails at the top of the note with "<< >> View slide show" underneath. I can use the arrows to scroll through the slides in-situ but the "View slide show" does nothing when clicked. I am expecting it to use Photos or whatever to display them and to allow me to scroll forwards and backwards through them just like I could under Win8.1.
Is there some setting that I haven't set or am I just expecting too much?

Must be something you are missing - when I click on it it takes me to "photo gallery", the default app I have set for .JPG files.
Check your file associations: save one of the files and see what happens when you double click the saved image.
For reference, I tested using:
Windows Live Mail 2012, Version 2012 (Build 16.4.3528.0331)
on
Win 10 Home, V 1511, Build 10586.164

Thanks for the reply.
I have "Photos" set for .jpg and .jpeg files and Photos does indeed open the picture if I click on one of them. It does not open them as a stream when I select "View slide show".
I do not seem to have an app called "photo gallery". What actual application do you have? Is it one provided by default by Win10?

Windows Photo Gallery 2012
Build 16.4.3528.331
(c) Microsoft Corporation
It's probably part of the "Microsoft Essentials" pack (free download from MS)
But if you're using Live Mail instead of Mail you already have that!

That explains it. I only installed Live Mail and OneDrive from the Essentials pack under the assumption, falsely as it s turned out, that Win10 would provide the other functions. I have now installed Photo Gallery as well.
Thank you very much for your help.
