Hi folks
"Semi defect" if that means anything !!! is with File explorer on this build -- you have to be MEGA CAREFUL with cut and paste if you have the group by date option enabled since paste doesn't always go into where you think it's going !!!!!!. - especially on fast systems with a sensitive mouse.
PLEASE Ms make GROUP BY NONE on file explorer be standard or at least easily configurable -- I find that group by date an abomination for any sensible sort of file manipulation -- and even if you kill the group by date it doesn't saty permanently -- next session reverts back to group by date --tried registry fixes etc to no avail.
Personally I'd just rather have the whole thing in pure alphabetic display rather than it all split up "higgledy Pgiggeldy" via date. Still that's another area where YMMV.
I like to test out a few of these things even if I don't end up using them --sometimes the new stuff is worth it and if you don't try it how will you know. !!! Still I'm going back to group by none.
On the whole this build seems to be working for me. (Apart from that wretched group by date in File explorer-- I might be in a ninority of 1 here but loads of people I know have the same issue --if you have to group stuff at least do it by alphabetical order - ascend / descend - but I can't see what's wrong with a bog standard list.

Hi folks
To "degroup" file explorer like it used to behave I finally found some weird registry hack which needed a re-boot and now it's working how I want it.
Not sure how long that fix will work so I won't post the link unless people want it on this build however this is how I like the listing for file explore --Title, date,type, size (you can move the columns around).
It shouldn't be a mega issue trying to get a file browser to display stuff in a decent user defined order without having to go round the hoops to get it done.
Anyway Booze and UK footie Premier leaague time now --off to my favourite boozer for footie watching (we get the Sat 15.00 (UK time) fixtures here which I think are still blocked in UK. I like UK footy. !!!
Cheers
