This machine has 4,000 times the memory of my first PC, and over 9,000 times the disk space. It cost less than a quarter of the price too!

Packard Bell? I didn’t even know they were still in business. My first PC was a Packard Bell. A 386SX33 with a whopping 2 MB worth of memory. Paid $80 for another 2 MB. Can’t recall what DOS version it came with (5 or 5.5 I think).
Anyway, I tended to just use the search field at the bottom of main start menu to find my programs. Kind of a throw back solution but it worked well enough. I also added my favorites to the taskbar. New computer someday soon. Hope the Packard Bell works out for you.

Ten Mile: I searched, but couldn’t find Rankin’s solution. I found a nice tweak though that does the job very nicely. I’ll put the details in a new post.
