Recommended Posts

I have just got new laptop with Windows 8.1 and want some coaching to help familiarise myself with new programme and to feel comfortable syncing with my new Nokia Lumia 930!

Too much technology for me to cope with, so need some hand holding....bit embarrassing I know but can anyone reccomend someone or who runs workshops to get me started?

Hi Win 8.1 is very different to the old windows; it does not have the start screen that we are all familiar with. I can?t help you with 8.1 but suggest that you download a small app which is free called Classic Shell. This app gives you the start screen which we all know and lets you choose either XP, Vista or Win7 start screen depending on which you are familiar with. Here is a link have a look. http://www.classicshell.net/

Hope this helps

The windows store has an app for connecting you phone called MY windows phone...!

To me it's backward thinking to replicate an earlier version of windows, why not simply spend a little time researching and exploring the new one?


Want a start menu? right click the taskbar choose new toolbar, in the dialogue box copy and paste this location


C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs


Job done!!

    • St.Christopher's never says no! Adult shop, anyway
    • It's such an uneven provision, I live just west of E Dulwich towards Herne Hill/Dulwich Village and there are four Post Office counters within 10 mins walk max. They are all in local shops and provide a great service. 
    • Wanted to come on and do a review for DRJ Builders as I know how hard it is to find good quality and reliable builders in the area! David O'Brien and DRJ Builders are more than that - they are an absolutely brilliant building firm who we can highly recommend. We used them to do a side return extension, loft extension and full house renovation in 2016. They did such a great job, we have just used them again to add on a new rear extension to the ground floor in 2025. David is great to work with from start to finish and has a fantastic team of tradespeople who always deliver a very high standard of work. Would highly recommend them. You can get David on 07960 938621.
    • They do have other lockers where you can drop off parcels, as well as some shops who will take them. If you use the Royal Mail app, or website, you can also arrange for collection of parcels from your house. The service is actually pretty good (and a lot easier than going to the post office). There are a lack of Royal Mail lockers though. Would be good to get some more - perhaps one on North Cross road? They don't need to be outside the Post Office necessarilly.
