or they've decided to make radio buttons look like check boxes?
why not? they've made so many other things ugly and confusing (even the overall UI)
- it's the direction that started at win 8 accelerating.
after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

Yeah, they really have changed some basic things that were great the way they were.
But, all in the name of NEW... I guess.

IIRC, there should be three options: Hide, Show, and Show Icon. You could either show a search box (show) or a smaller button (show icon).
It's changed in later versions, because they've finally split the search option from Cortana. So now there's a "Show Cortana button" which is a single choice, and a "Search" menu with the "hide", "show icon", and "show search box" options.
But you don't expect consistency* from a Microsoft UI, do you?

Definitely, my foundational mistake.

Yes, but you have to like the new Icons. Yes? 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

One gripe is that Microsoft started leaving "..." off of menu items that initiate a dialog.
They used to be fanatics about CUA compliance and "explorability" of the UI.
The Ribbon was the first step in removing explorability of the UI. Now there is a GIANT list of every possible command with no logical grouping that you can "add to custom". The GIANT list only supports single letter matching if you try to type! Hundreds of options start with "S".
Every thing is "Search" driven. You better know what you want and start typing it in to find it for any Windows 10 feature or program.

I agree and great points all thru your post.
Everything in UI seems just to make it NEW without real plan or design.

But I saw it for the first time just now.
How much space will be available in the European Union after Brexit?

1 GB

If it's UNION ALL then surely, 1 GB won't be enough.

You mean Brexit 2.0. Brexit happened over 200 years ago.

It was the Americans who declared their independence from the Britain, not the other way round. If Britain's leaving the EU is called Brexit, then America's declaration of independence should be called Amexit, or some such.

Perhaps a colonectomy?

If anything, a multiple colectomy.

Shouldn't that be that 1GB in EU land will be freed up?
Of course, we'll have to defragment afterward.
Nice one, Sander.

Is it a theme week? I thought the theme week was suppose to first week of the month. But then again I have been away a long time.
|
|
|
|
|
A few weeks ago we agreed to drop the themed week completely. Nobody seemed to want to play along with it so figured it was time to go.
|
|

Its a shame though! I (at least) usually got to learn something new because of the theme.

Could you write the complete solution? I didn't have the entire solution and just went with my gut.
