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...!


here is a good guide to get you started on 8

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!!

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).  
    • I don't! But I've also taken to calling myself David, as it seems to shorten the odds of achieving something in life. It's not King Dave, Dave Lloyd George, Dave Hockney, Dave Bowie or Dave Hasselhoff is it? And I'm not sure Michelangelo would have had such success if he'd called his sculpture 'Dave'.
    • I think there is still a shoes/clothes recycling bank outside of North Dulwich station.  
    • I'm not so sure the collection team are that bothered anymore.  Two houses either side of me are rented and the tenants just chuck their rubbish - mostly bagged - in the blue or green bins depending on which has space in, not based on what it is.  The blue bins are always emptied.
