Many times, the power of habit is powerful. When you are accustomed to something, you will generally not take the initiative to change it unless you have to. This is especially true for operating systems. After using XP for many years, we are almost completely accustomed to its interface menu layout, operation methods and other aspects. At this time, if there is a new system that wants to replace it, it is best not to make too many changes, at least on the surface. Otherwise, the speed at which users accept it will be greatly reduced, or even completely ignore it.
Unfortunately, Vista happens to be such a negative example. There are too many new things for users to accept, not to mention the poor backward compatibility when it came out. Although Vista failed to shake the status of XP, over the past two years, Vista still left a lot of impressions on people. Therefore, the current feeling of Windows 7 is not that bad, and it is more out of curiosity to try it. Just out of habit, many people will still try to change the settings of Windows 7, hoping that it will be more like XP.
For example, in the XP era, double-clicking "My Computer" will see various disk drives and control panels, and retreating to the top "Desktop" will see icons such as Network Places and the Recycle Bin.
In Windows 7, the two icons of the Recycle Bin and Control Panel have really disappeared. The Control Panel icon has been moved to the bottom of the address bar and replaced with text; as for the Recycle Bin icon, it seems that it has completely disappeared in the Explorer.
In fact, you may not use these two icons at all, but you will feel uncomfortable without them. Want to get these two icons back? No problem, retrieving them only takes seconds. Open the "Organize" menu in the upper left corner of "Computer", click "Folder and Search Options", check the two options under "Navigation Pane", and finally confirm.
Now go back to "Computer" and look at the list on the left. The desktop, control panel, and recycle bin all appear. In addition, all relatively independent libraries, personal folders, computers, networks, etc. are all placed on the desktop. Does it feel like XP?
