    Get that guilty feeling when driving past SARS.
    Try to avoid them if possible

    Having a problem saving pictures from a flashdrive. I open the picture with a nice black background. I right click and and get an option to Delete or Set As Lock Screen, App Tile or App Background. No Open With, no Picture Manager, no familiar paths, tracks or well worn highways. There is a Left Arrow in the top part of the screen which takes me to an interesting looking page which simple tells me I am lost.

      Copy all photos from flash drive and paste into folder on PC....
      Right click on the picture then and choose Open With and the Windows Picture Viewer...not some stoopid app.....
      I assume you have already installed classic shell as per previous post?

        I get the option of Paint and Photo Viewer
        And all editing done in Paint
        No more Windows Picture Manager?

          Classic shell gives you the old style desktop with the start button back for ease of use and bypass the MetroUI (tiles) for you....
          Windows picture Viewer is for viewing only - when picture open in viewer there is an open button which give you an option to the edit in paint....
          Windows Picture Manager I think may be just the old name.....

            Looks as if they have merged Paint and Picture Manager
            Takes time, but one gets used to it
            Like some of the functionality but it's too easy to get lost
