PMSL! "Unprofessional profile" ... were you talking about your own?
"How could it take a windows jockey this long to try Win10 for the first time?" - I'm a "windows jockey" ... I've "looked" at Win10, I've "tried" Win10 and I'm happy to stay well away from it until all of the issues are sorted.
But on a more relevant topic ... why are you so negative? Been here 5 years and you only seem to come out of the cupboard to have a go at other members? To quote you.. lighten up

I've been clearing out the spare room - trying to make it into a bedroom instead of a storage place - and that means going through the boxes we moved in with, and haven't opened since. Some of it has been quite interesting: three watches I'd forgotten about (including my gold fob watch), two sets of cufflinks I haven't worn for twenty years, load of pictures of Herself as a young lady. Some of it has been hideous, as in "why did I keep an ancient sleeping bag that smells like something died in it?"
Then it turned up: my Student Union card from university. Oh gawd. Me, as an 18 YO zit factory in 1977 ... I look young, innocent, sober. And only the first two were true for any part of my stay at university ...
Worse: Herself has seen it and banned me from binning the thing. Damn. And no, I'm not posting it here for a very good reason: Warning - language probably not SFW[^]

What is even more beautiful than an elderly lady? A still older photograph.

After moving countries few times I learned to shed a lot of crap, old photo's were among the first to go.
Really the only significant item I've kept from the past is myself,
... minus the hair on my head, buggered if I know where that went.

One of the things I've lost over the years is my ability to give a damn. If you find it, no need to return it – keep it and see if it works for you.

You did not want to put that in the same context, right? 
If only you knew what our grunts mean when they talk about sleeping bags or a NATO matress.

That sleeping back held a lot of memories.
And probably a lot of fluids, which may explain the distressing smell.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

I'm certain that there were times when OG was sober, but not by choice. England (and Wales) have (had?) closing times for pubs.

Just stumbled upon this feature that you can see when you :
1. Open file manager
2. right click your local drive (or any drive really)
3. choose properties
Notice the last checkbox item:
[ ] Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties
(Normally it will be selected by default)
It looks like :

I turned it off today.
I don't use Microsoft file search. I would use the dir command or something.
Also if I want to find data inside a file I would us console findstr or something.
Turn Off If You Have An SSD?
I see many posts about turning this off if you have an SSD.
Does anyone have additional info on this? Any experience with it? With SSDs?
Why would people say it should be turned off for SSD -- because of too many writes to SSD and limiting it's lifespan?
Just curious about this setting as a general discussion.

Yup.
Incessant reads and writes, when you're not doing anything, and even when you haven't changed anything.
The system drive is worst, because it's almost continually reading a writing, anyway, and it's the system drive that you want to live the longest.

What Mark said, but the SSD just doesn't need the indexing help they are so d**** fast.
<blush> I have 3 SSDs in my new laptop. Just realized I needed to turn that feature off....

Besides indexing works when your pc is idle. So when you finally wake up from nodding off and click something you may interrupt the indexing. I'ts supposed to be waiting on you as a machine is our servant so that's a no no.
I disable MS search service and use Ulta File Search Lite (free and cool too.)

That's a part of why I was posting too. I just upgraded to an SSD (another machine than the one shown in the image) and I need to turn it off there too.
