Yea, but as you can see, it’s really just a browser added ontop. When they made xp, it was so deeply rooted it was silly. Windows explorer panels used it, I think the help reader application (remember that?) was completely re-written on it. Anything that didn’t look like a standard dialog from 2k or before, used the web engine for the UI. Hell you could even set the desktop to a webpage.

It was ahead of its time, but in a bad way.

No that’s internet explorer. They “removed” it, but really it’s just hidden in a way so you can’t run it directly.

Yea it annoys me too, you can switch it back, but I can’t do that every time I’m working on someone’s computer.

Yea I’ve always found that complaint odd. I just assumed everyone who makes it also has the activate windows watermark, and thus can’t access the option.

Have they fixed the store version so it can do multiple monitors yet? Also local folder redirects?

Don’t get anoyed at gdpr for that. Websites could perfectly operate with those banners being non-intrusive, they choose not to.
