Well, I do have that, and that's what I'm going to use for the blacksmith's apprentice project... though I put that on hold for now. But yes, setting the application as the default shell, while it puts the shell that came with Windows in a state where it's mostly asleep (Though the File Explorer maybe), improved the laptop by a little... and uses less resources, supposedly. I think. I don't acutally know for sure. Never checked. Though I think I might have to get a different one because.....
- Whenever I copy, move, or delete a file, the File Explorer (From Windows 10's shell) doesn't refresh.
- Wallpaper doesn't show.
Anyway, it appears that the Hard drive on the PC I normally would be using is going crazy again. My dad offered to put an 80GB drive to replace it, given that I don't install too much, which I have a habit of. Maybe I should've accepted the offer. All that means is that in the future, I might have to uninstall a bunch of apps, as well as whatever else to play a MMO game coming to Windows 10 and Xbox One later this spring.
RE: What's on your mind? - DerVVulfman - 02-07-2020
80GB? In the era of 2TB on average? How's YOUR expertise at installing hardware into the Lappy? If not, hell.... just buy a lappy HDD that will work and let him install the new one.

The 80GB hard drive would be a temporary solution to the dying Hard drive of the PC. As for my laptop, I can't really do that with the Acer Aspire 4730z. The laptop has been, and will forever be, stuck with a laptop drive size of 232GB. All I can really do is increase the laptop's RAM, given that the RAM is the same type I may add. Though I guess I could get a USB Hub, and about 2 Hard Drive docks (one for SATA drives and one for IDE drives), to increase the amount of Hard Drive space I can have. I think the Acer can hold about 4 GB of RAM, give or take.
RE: What's on your mind? - DerVVulfman - 02-07-2020
Fine. Then get a 232GB Drive. BUT YEAH.... how long have I been saying "GET USB EXTERNALS"
Meanwhile, Did you consider making a bootable USB drive just in case of an emergency?

Pangolins, the heavily trafficked, scaly mammal, may have spread coronavirus to humans

Stupid dang Jury Duty.....!!!! ARRRGH!!!
I gotta head out early tomorrow. Yuck.
Hrm... if the chance of getting Jury Duty is actually a 50/50 chance, getting it twice would be 25%. And getting it 3 times would be 12.5%....
... 6.25% for 4 times... 3.125% getting it 5 times.... 1.5625% getting it 6 times.... 0.78125% getting it 7 times.... 0.390625% getting it 8 times....
This is my ninth!!!! IN A ROW! And the base chance for anyone getting it is supposed to be way less than 50%!!!
RE: What's on your mind? - DerVVulfman - 02-12-2020
Wow, this was no joke!
First, I had to be there by 7:30... a 40 minute drive. So....
I woke at 7am. 
EEP!???Needless to say, I had a ridiculously fast breakfast, dressed and drove like I was Mario Andretti. A 40 minute drive in just over 20 minutes. "Go Speed Racer, Gooooo---*"
I reached the 'free' parking and jogged the rest of the way in the rain. Amazingly, I entered and got to the preliminaries JUST in time, sweating and not feeling that well. After the presentation, I headed straight to the rest area.
Yep, I was sick.... There went breakfast. After I got back, they were just starting to pass out colored cards... 18 yellow cards, 40 pink, 40 red, 24 blue, 18 green.... Well over 100 in the Jury Assembly Room were then called to different court rooms and court cases... I and two dozen still waiting to see...
Three hours passed, and a good number of those that had pink cards came back. Apart from 12 that were selected, the rest returned and were excused for the rest of their appearance. Then six members with yellow cards came back. Ditto. By twelve, two more groups returned, and then we in the Jury Assembly Room were excused for a 30-minute lunch break.
Decisions... decisions... Have the overpriced food in the Courthouse Cafe, buy ridiculously priced gummies in a vending machine for $2.00 or go out to the 7-11 and get a hot dog.Before 12:30, we were all back. And just before 1am, the remainders of the red-card jurors came back; that jury was selected without issue. So since there were no court cases short of jurors, we 'substitutes' were finally let go.
I finally got home by 2pm.

2 am!? And how's that possible? Did it really take place today? O_o? Or was it yesterday?

(EDITED) PM.
Unless I drove so fast, I Marty McFly-ed the timezones.
RE: What's on your mind? - KDC - 02-22-2020
I figured out the (Most) of my problems with this laptop. Windows 10, by default, had it set to a balance between it's actual performance and trying to save power. Because it's a laptop, it has a battery icon on the taskbar.
Supposedly, because of the amount of RAM some of the programs need, the programs, at times, go into (Not Responding) a few times, with a few seconds of waiting till it responds again or it doesn't respond again at all, with the setting as is.
I changed it to this setting.
A lot of the issues have been solved because of it. But there are times where a program would stop responding, but for a little bit. So now the laptop is running at its best performance, at least when plugged in. Since the battery is shot, I don't exactly have plans to unplug the AC adapter. I'll probably do that with the other laptop, which is the Dell laptop, when I decide to use that again.
