By default the Windows 10 File Explorer opens to the quick access folder by default, personally i dont find that at all useful and would sooner it open “This PC” (My Computer) so I can have easy access to hard drives, connected devices and network shares. Thankfully the Windows 10 file explorer can be made to open This PC by default, it even has its own setting hidden away, so no registry hacks are required like on Windows 8. To make the Windows 10 File Explorer open this PC by default you need to do the following: On any open file explorer window click the view tab Then click options > change folder and search options Now simply change the open file explorer option to “This PC” When you click on ok you have done it, now when you open a new file explorer windows it will default to opening “This PC” from now on. I hope this helps someone out, again easy once you know where to look!

The company where I work sells repair parts / home security upgrade related products online. Currently we have three main outlets. The E-Commerce Website Ebay Amazon Over the last couple of years i’ve noticed the mindset of people shopping at each different on-line outlet is very different. The E-Commerce Website – Generally I would class customers on the e-commerce website to be your average on-line shopper, they know how to use a search engine and have usually purchased on-line before. These customers are happy to upgrade from the standard free 2nd class delivery to first class delivery to get the repair part quicker. The Ebay Customer – Ebay customers expect to be treated like royalty and pay as little as possible for the privilege. For the Ebay customer it’s all about price, if another seller is selling the same product as you and is a little as 1p cheaper, you will loose the sale. Reputation, Feedback or even if the customer has purchased from you before will not come in to it. The pure motivation is price. Not only is eBay all about price you are expected to go above and beyond the call of duty and be available 24/7 365. I can sort…
