that new desk looks great!
Thanks for the Wifi tip. Here in Taiwan my wifi must travel through 2 or 3 floors of concrete.
Make sure you get the Pearl Milk Tea when you come to Taiwan. It's harder to find in Taipei, but down here in Taichung it's everywhere.
Nice new set, but not a new shirt for GM ;) (congrats on the new kid BTW)
Win10 anniversary spot great - show more hidden gems
Tweet your Taiwan travelling Ch9 guy pics!
These videos are so slow to download... this is the reason why I normally didn't watch channel9 videos...
Why didn't you just host on youtube?... youtube plays almost instantly...
Nice studio Gove and Larry,
I use Total Commander, Powerfull tool!
Beste regards.

[17:50] Aero Theme and Windows 10
ms designer have no taste, so they replaced the glass ui with this 16 color monochrome crap in Windows 8 and made it even more worse in Windows 10. I use glass8.eu with the aero 8 Release preview theme:
Looking for a File Explorer replacement
Try Far Manager
New desk FTW!
I tried Media Creation Tool. It was wonderful.
Thanks.
I prefer the more professional looking set. The other one has too much of a sci-fi feeling to it.
Question. Have a Surface Book with Windows 10 Build 14393.51 having no sound when booting cool but when restarting have sound. Done a uninstall of driver that didn't fix it.
[15:16] Looking for a File Explorer replacement
There is a cool utility that is not trying to replace the explorer but actually enhance it with new functionalities:
http://www.listary.com is in essence a search tool, but has some nice tricks, like syncronization of "open file..." dialogs, quicklaunch, etc.
For a powerful companion app I can strongly recommend Total Commander. Looks crappy and old, but this thing is packed with tons of features for powerusers, like search files by regex and content, bulk rename tool with search & replace for filenames, folders sync (even on FTP), compare files by content (and highlight the changes), split/combine files, uuencode/decode, verify checksums, zip files support, etc. It also support extensions. Really handy to have on the pendrive.
TotalCommander FTW.
This is excellent replacement as Psy mentioned. Norton Commnader look. If you learn powerful shortcuts you can speed up file work... a lot!
Also tried FreeCommander (also handy and free :))
