Upgrading To Windows 11 Beta
Several days ago I said “Not interested” to the pre-Alpha Windows 11. It has now moved to the Beta channel which hopefully means its is at least Alpha grade and I was a little bored so I installed it.
I had to jump through some hoops…

Stupid Office New Item Menu
MS Office 2019 introduced a new item menu; right-click and empty space in a drive/file/folder and you get this twaddle:
There are registry entries to eliminate these but one or all will come back after Office is updated, especially Access it seems.

TweakHound’s World
I was feeling a little guilty about leaving people out of the “Thank You” post so…
This is a list comes from the supporters of this site since I started keeping track of locations. Specifically, through buying the Win10 Tweak Guide.
So many people want to remain anonymous that I thought it would be cool to put everyone’s town, city, or village. I also included a map!
PLEASE let me know if I have left you out, or got anything wrong.
Also, please excuse the capitalization issues. This table was created by creating a large spreadsheet and the capitalization or lack of it is how they (the buyer) typed it in.

Samsung 870 EVO 250GB OS Drive?
Long ago I lamented about someone coming up with a superfast drive just for the operating system. That has been a reality since the late 2000s when SSDs became mainstream and affordable.
A couple of weeks ago, Samsung released the 870 EVO line of SSDs. The smallest and cheapest of these is 250GB version. Because I view the smaller drives as ideal for Operating System only drives, this is the drive I will be focusing on.
The 870 EVO line has been touted by Samsung and hardware review sites as the last shot at maximizing the performance of SATA drives.
SAMSUNG 870 EVO at Amazon: 250GB=$39.99 | 500GB=$69.99 | 1TB=$129.99 | 2TB&4TB $250-$489 unavailable
