   What about being able to do anything on Windows without _any_ menus?   
      
   If you're on Windows, you should try this, but it's an aside, but 99.9% of   
   Windows users do _not_ know this trick (which existed since Win95 days!).   
      
   1. Make sure the command you will create doesn't already exist   
      Win+R > bev   
      It should look for "bev.exe" & then complain "Windows cannot find bev."   
      
   2. Create the "bev" command (it can do anything - we'll just edit a file).   
      Win+R > regedit   
      HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\   
      Create a new key named "bev.exe" (yes, I know that file doesn't exist).   
      Set the default to any file you wish to edit (e.g., a family phone list).   
      @Default = C:\Users\Bev\Documents\bev.txt (name it whatever you like).   
      
   3. Create the file if it doesn't already exist.   
      Win+R > notepad C:\Users\Bev\Documents\bev.txt   
      
   Now you have created a new command that does whatever you want it to do.   
    Win+R > bev (this will edit that file)   
      
   Who needs menus?   
   You can create a quick command to do _anything_ you like this way.   
   --   
   Bear in mind Win10 _never_ lost the classic WinXP pullout menu; people are   
   stupid so they can't figure out that Microsoft simply _moved_ the location.
