Learn the ways of the run prompt: ncpa.cpl launches you right to the classic network adapter control panel screen. I have to get in there so often that I've taught myself plenty of those little shortcuts because MS can't leave shit where it was.

...And it all has to be there for legacy compatibility, because some Fortune 500 company somewhere has some rickety piece of shit in-house "enterprise" software that relies on some obscure aspect or another of a past Windows version.

I am sort of partial to those rickity old systems that force them to keep legacy software compatibility.

I can still load up and use a program that was written 20 years ago for windows XP.

It also gives third parties like classic shell or startallback the ability to restore all the functionality that the newest start menu disaster tries to push.
