Of course I was kidding. But just imagine if Windows did that for every copy paste.

I'm reminded of a Dilbert comic where every mouse move had to be confirmed. Somehow I can't find it right now. I'm pretty sure I didn't dream it up.

If you're using a recent version of Windows 10, just hit Win+V instead to see a list of everything you've copied to the clipboard in the current session. 
Depending on your settings - and how much you trust Microsoft! - you might also be able to copy on one PC and paste on another.

This does not work on my PC. Maybe something to do with mine being enterprise version? Maybe it's locked down in policies (although I am a local admin on the machine).

A clipboard experience?

That's a different "feature", which has been around a lot longer.

right? whoever decided on paste and copy keys being right next to each other is residing in a special section of hell.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

According to this, it was Larry Tesler who invented it, while working at Xerox PARC. He's still alive, so unless retirement is Hell for him, your wish has yet to come true.

Don’t close the folder. I never close anything.

That's exactly how I somehow always end up with 25 Explorer windows opened at the same time. And the taskbar preview for them makes it impossible to find anything (another one of my first-world problems)...

Please post something amusing.
Thank you in advance.

Quote: Waiting for applications to shut down
Windows Explorer (playing logoff sound)
Don't know if this message is ever accurate, but if it is, I find it rather annoying that shutting down/rebooting Windows can get delayed because it's busy trying to play the logoff sound. Of all things that can go wrong...
Worse: When this happens on a machine that's been configured in Control Panel not to play any of those cutesy noises on various events. Or an RDP session that shouldn't be playing any sound whatsoever.

well the, it's your own fault for changing ms default settings,
at least that's what the folks on technet always say,
and you know they must be right, they've got certs, lots of certs, and gold badges too,
anyway, unlike them I'll be kind and jump right to their eventual answer (save running sfc/scannow and posting logs all over the place.):
format all your drives (connected or not, even those in your safe may be infected) and reinstall windows. and no cheating with dvd's either whatever you need is in the ms clod.
