Here's a short one in the raw format.
This was feedback that I added to an existing report: Explorer memory exception on shutdown in Bld 9841 (fixed in 9860, but I think there's still a memory leak. Since 9860, I often have to decrease the memory allocated in the VM just to start it.

I know Kari ... I could use dynamic, but I'm not for certain tests)

Code:

And the same one after I edited it for 'pretty print'

I changed the Userid for privacy - not sure it would be useful to anyone, but .... If you included slashes (/) in the report, they convert to line breaks Quotes (") convert to backslashes I think - use apostrophe's (') instead.

OK geeks, see these tutorials from our own Brink:

When I added the favorites namespace to the homefolder registry entry, everything started working as it should.

Toggling the 'recent' options on the Start menu tab (Taskbar properties) now controls if recent information (files and folders) is presented in Home. An anomaly exists though - not all applications get recorded. If I open an image file in preview - that gets placed in recent files and shows in home. If I open an image in Gimp - that is not shown in recent (or Home). Same thing for Textpad - files opened with that do not get placed in recent or show in Home.

Folders - I got one to show up, not sure how though. It might have been when I previewed an image in a specific folder.

This is not an important issue for me - but I'd like to know more about how MS plans to use Home. If it's limited to the three namespaces then it's not a useful feature for me.

I'd rather see Home act more like a library where a user can place what they want in their Home location. I'd stick my user profile, Favorites and Libraries (off the navigation pane) in there and then lose the locations on the navigation pane and the User icon on my desktop.

Thanks Kari, thanks Brink

Not sure, but I'm thinking this is like a hub for devices somewhat like Office hub except for OSs. This folder will eventualy be displayed on all devices via OneDrive sync service. This would follow along the plan of one OS across all devices. Just a hunch.

...MS should allow users to turn the individual sections off/on via checkboxes.
.....

At least MS lets you include or exclude Libraries and Favorites (right click in an open area of the navPane)
Including Control Panel is defined somewhere else.
You can always elect to not show the navigation pane
And our beloved Brink has a number of tutorials telling members how to customize the navPane.

We are in agreement - more flexibility for the navPane would be welcome.

I've been playing around with 'Clover' as an alternative to File Explorer.
