Windows Operations & Library of Functions
WOLF’s Requirements
Windows Vista
Windows 7
Windows 8/8.1
Windows 10 Tech Preview
Note: Needs to have .NET Framework 4.5.2, or above, installed.
Inspiration
Windows 8s release was very eye opening to me as a professional computer user. I have no desire to get on board this Metro-UI design train. The interface left so much to be desired on a standard desktop. Naturally, I moved back to Windows 7, however, I began to see Windows 8s roots of convolution a little more clearly. Settings and tools are hidden in layers upon layers. The control panel has links to maybe 10% of the active locations of OS settings. The snap consoles have snap consoles inside them. Nothing is centrally located.
Basically, Windows has become a non-centralized management style OS. Each section of management was located in different places. Some inside Control Panel, others inside Computer Management, while more were hidden in Policies.
So I decided to get to work, to not only undo the obfuscation and time consumption managing a Windows install, but also add functions that Administrators/PowerUsers may use every single day.
