Thanks for the Reply
As you said Caveat Emptor
I have always had that setting turned off
For Now I just elect to sign in with Google then minimize the new tab that opens
I guess "Do NO Harm" does not include "Do NOT Annoy"
It is not "Me Too" it is "Me Me Me Me till your tired of Me"

What Search Engine are you using with FireFox ?
Perhaps I need to see if FireFox has an associated setting
Thanks

I'm watching a lot of tiktoks (I know, just shoot me) of Dr. Glaucomflecken.
Even if it's medical satire, we can all more or less relate.
Is there anyone that does the equivalent for IT/Programming ?

There were some that tried, but they took one look at the way programmers work, and either ran away screaming, or broke down crying.

Perhaps the daily Scrum meetings, when video-recorded can portray enough comedy, satire.

Silicon or Silicone? Being HBO I could see Silicone.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Not so much skits but some jokes might apply.
What happened to the programmer who always used lots of tabs?
He became too spaced out.
What happened to the programmer who used too many "while" loops?
He was never done.

Summary: I cannot get shortcuts on the 'Show more options' menu on Windows Explorer to work.
Lengthy explanation: In Windows 11, Windows Explorer you can select a file, and then right mouse click it to get a small list of options. If you want more options, you click the 'Show more options' and a list is shown. You cannot Alt-x options in that list and the 'x's are not even shown. However, if you use Shift-F10 instead of clicking 'Show more options' you get the list and the Alt-x options are shown. But I still cannot select the required option without having to use the cursor keys and pressing enter. If I press Alt then the menu is cleared even before I can type the 'x'.
Question: How do I use shortcuts in the 'Show more options' menu? I want to do something like Shift-F10 Alt-B to action the option with the letter B underlined.
Yes, I have Googled - all I get is ways to disable the menus and reload old / 3rd party versions. I want to be able to do it in a vanilla installation.

Yep. I just checked and it's worse than that.
If I select a JPG file, and right click, the popup list shows
But as soon as you touch ALT, the popup closes ...
If you hold SHIFT, it stays there, but adding F10 to the mix just closes the popup again.
I'm beginning to suspect that the UI "upgrades" to Win 11 from Win 10 were farmed out to somebodies 12 YO son (or a MAC user).

The keyboard shortcuts aren't meant to be used with the right-click popup menu.
Using your examples...
Select a JPG without right-clicking and press Alt+Enter. The Properties dialog will appear.
Likewise, select a JPG and press Shift+F10, the more options context menu appears.

I just tried selecting a JPG file then using Alt+Enter, without touching the mouse, and it does open the properties.
I also found Shift+F10 opens the full context menu, which has shortcuts indicated, such as the O of Open, but Alt+O does nothing!
However, the sequence Shift+F10,O highlights the Open command, so once the file is selected, it can be opened, without using the mouse, by the sequence Shift+F10,O,Enter.
I also tried Shift+F10,S,Enter which opens the Share dialog.
All clear as mud!
