Sounds easy. But where? (I'm not all that well-versed in networking. Sorry.)

Admittedly, this is a fringe case ... but here goes:

I have a home network with 3 PCs ... and with a printer and NAS connected to my router.
Everything works fine. Each PC can talk to each...

Thanks for those suggestions. I'll take a look (... although I was hoping it was only some built-in feature/setting). But I admit that, to me, Win7 had a far better approach to convenient operation...

I've read a lot ... and made attempts ... to get the same nice taskbar preview on Win10 that I've had for years on Win7.

These two captures show my progress, thus far (left) and what I'd like to...

Thanks for the suggestion. You've made good points. And the cited disadvantage is significant.

I'm starting to explore my gateway router. So far, the "maps" I've found are tabular, not graphic...

Thanks for the responses.



That sounds like a good solution. But would you mind pointing me to an example or to additional details. I've never looked at doing that sort of thing.

I didn't...

Would anyone happen to know of a central task or service that will suspend a PC's access to the web? ... so that browsers and downloads stop working.

I'm aware of the methods to disable WiFi or...

@LMiller7, that's a good suggestion about the InstallationType key. I confirmed on both my Win7 desktop and my Win10 laptop that it contains "Client". Unless some better method comes up, I think it...

Danielx64, thanks for those methods.



I've seen examples that show "Enterprise" in the OS name. Do you know if that's always the case for a server? (Again, I can't test this at the moment, but...

What call or query can I make to determine whether the PC my software is running on is a single-user PC or a server? For example, is there a registry entry to check?

The utility systeminfo.exe...

True. I don't have any font problem with common system dialogs. The font I've noted as "weak" is in the Browse Folder dialog of a 3rd-party application ... which is weak in both Win7 and Win10...

A good idea of something to check ... but both my PC's are set to enhance the screen fonts. Apparently, the dialog I'm trying to improve is defined at a fairly basic level ... like just specifying a...

Thanks for pointing that out. I picked up the PNG from W7, but the one from W10 (below) shows the same weak font ... as exemplified by the word 'Videos'.

Again, the reason for my question is...

Would anyone happen to know how to override the default font used in a "generic" Open Folder dialog?

I've read about the default fonts for MS Shell Dlg and MS Shell Dlg 2 ... and have tried to...

Thanks for your concise reply.
Indeed, I've seen references to things like ms-settings:display (for example).
But the CLSID Key Shortcuts List was what I was hoping for. I'd like to be able to go...

Under Win7, I can make a call from a program using a parameter string like:
"shell:::{C555438B-3C23-4769-A71F-B6D3D9B6053A}"
to bring up display settings.

The same call does not work under...
