I did manage to solve this one. I thought of Countryside as outside of town and then saw count=tally and side=team. I knew that had to be the solution even though small railway to ry had me stumped. So, I'm curious, is ry a UK term, or did small just mean gut railway to leave ry as an abbreviation?

It's a pretty common abbreviation in crosswords: ry railway crossword - Google Search[^]

When I googled ry most hits were for the Royal Bank of Canada and a search for "ry abbreviations" showed none for railway. But crossword abbreviations, I didn't think to search that. Thank you.

Now, I understand “small” as a prefix operator on “railway”.
I was thinking HO scale for small railway or SUB for small.
I was totally “off track”!

Not been on that one Richard - last one I went on was Blaenau Ffestiniog to Porthmadog which was wonderful.

After less than a week on W11 I got so frustrated with the taskbar, that I actually paid for a software to resolve the issue...
It is not about the money ($5), but the realization that MS actually doesn't give a sh*t about end user...

I'm using ExplorerPatcher and 7 Taskbar Tweaker. I think MS is going to bring back the 'don't combine' feature soon.

I have been using ExplorerPatch it works so sticking with it for awhile. I think I paid money for it even.

Yep, I running ExplorerPatcher and Open Shell on my Win 11 VM. So far they seem to work fine together and give me all the start menu and taskbar features I like/use.

mmm.. what is the problem with the task bar exactly?
|
|
|
|
|
No text and always grouped...
So to select one of the N opened Visual Studio instances is PITA...

Isn't is also the case that when the mouse is hovered over the group icon in the Taskbar, it shows all the opened instances as thumbnails/tooltips, from which the desired one can be selected? Doesn't seem like a PITA.

It is PITA... You have to wait for the popup, then identify the correct instance from the thumbernail... You also misding identifications lke 'Running' or 'Debug'... A big time PITA

Yes; you lose the ability NOT to group items, and also lose the caption in Windows 11. This is the issue - it used to work well in Win10, then they broke it. One of several reasons I've opted NOT to "upgrade" to Win11.

I thought Windows 10 did that also?
