Thomas, this is a tad off-topic, but since you mentioned that «Windows 8.1 (= a nightmare !!!)», I thought I'd suggest two simple steps to tame the beast : 1. Install Classic Shell from *classicshell.net <http://classicshell.net>* (elect the Windows 7 interface and change the start button), and 2. Deactivate the superfluous Lockscreen by following the steps found here : *http://www.howtogeek.com/134620/how-to-disable-the-lock-screen-on-windows-8-without-using-group-policy* <http://www.howtogeek.com/134620/how-to-disable-the-lock-screen-on-windows-8-without-using-group-policy> */* While not, alas, quite as good as dumping Windows altogether and installing, e g, Linux Mint 17.1 instead, it should suffice to turn those nightmares into relatively sweet dreams. I know it has for many retirees here in Stockholm whom we help with computer problems....
