Happy user of Windows 7, see other Windows 10 rants. This is not a rant, I just despise the default, built in desktop manager Microsoft "included" in Windows 10.
Does anyone know how to turn it off? I want my old manager back.

Care to describe the problem you are having with the desktop manager?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I also don't care for egg plant, if you serve it to me, I will politely skip it. If you insist, I will eat elsewhere.
I've used one virtual desktop manager for 5+ years on Windows 7. I like it, I know all the short cut keys, I understand it's behavior.

Microsoft's:

Also, Sysinternals desktop, Dexpot, Virtuawin....
We all have our favorites.

The question is of course [The Lounge] If your dog eats your SIM card... (will it get dissolved before it comes out?)[^]
As it turns out, a SIM card can pass through your canine companion without being damaged. After patiently checking the output from your furry friend for a few days before finally locating it like a prize in a box of cereal, taking the SIM card through a rigorous cleaning process and then popping it back in the phone will restore full functionality to your phone.
This does raise a new question: How long does it take before you can look back at this and laugh about it?

Not long at all. I'm laughing about it right now.

One question, one comment.
Q) What was on the SIM card that required retrieval?
C) You need a life.

Not really sure. It is my wife's phone. I had taken the SIM card out because I was replacing the broken screen on her phone.

I have heard about those, but I have a wife, two dogs and a fairly busy job, so that is where most of my time goes.

So... when she calls, will you say, "Oh crap.. I have to take this call"
|
|
|
|
|
Not necessary. I have already set up fart noises for her ring tone

How did you know which dog to follow?
|
|
|
|

Well, I didn't know for sure, but with about 95% confidence.
1) One of them is quite picky about what he eats and will spit stuff out if he doesn't like it. The other one will eat anything you put in front of him.
2) The next morning I found signs that one of them had been vomiting during the night, which is a sure sign that he ate something that he wanted to get out again. A quick smell test around the mouth of both dogs pointed to the usual suspect.

I have that shirt as well. When you said "the wife's sim card", it all became very clear.
Does she know the extent to which you have gone to recover the sim card? Now, it could be that you have these kinds of dogs: Chihuahua[^] in whihc case not too impressive.
In the other hand, you might have two of these:Newfoundland[^] in which case, I salute you sir. I hope she was worth the effort.

Oh, she knows. And she told her mom. This one goes into the bank and will be pulled out sometime in the future when I really screw up.

Ahem...I believe I am due proper credit for answering this question correctly before the results came in (or in this case, out): my answer in The Lounge[^]
I'm expecting my official no-prize to be delivered via drone at any moment.

You are correct (again). I will mix up a fresh batch of homemade chocolate and ship it to you - it doesn't quite smell like chocolate since I am still learning, but it's good. Believe me.

Drop it on me with the drone and all is good. 
And I do expect multiple postings around CP that simply say,
"Raddevus was right! He was so right and so smart. Raddevus was absolutely right!"

Might as well bake a chocolate pie while you are at it. a la "The Help"

Man, I tell you that sim card has been through a lot of sh*t. Dog sh*t, to be precise.

And that's just what I have shared here in our intimate circle of friends. Imagine what you don't know.
