Windows 10 Collusion complaint / class act

[DonJuane]

What I do with new Windows 10 systems is first of all re-instate the administrator account. I get tired of being asked "are you sure you want this program to run" with every app I start and told "you need admin privileges to run that". Then I kill the user account I was on. Then I follow online guides to restore the Quick Launch bar, unpin every program from the task bar, set the task bar to where programs are only stacked if the task bar is full. Then I load "Classic Shell" to give me a Windows 7 desktop. Then I add the Sphinx windows 10 firewall control to keep apps from sending my data back by phoning home, then I add Windows anti-telemetry software O&O Shutup 10, W10Privacy and an old version of Spybot Anti-Beacon distributed before they started charging for it. I then add favorite apps like free versions of WinZip, WinRAR, Irfanview, VLCplayer, (reluctantly AVG where I set off all feedback channels and AVG reporting from my system activity to them) add Malwarebytes for periodic browser invasion checking, startup management software Autoruns where I mange disabling phontom start-ups of software "fast launch" and other unwanted auto-starts, icon save/restore DesktopOK, then I add Firefox with plug-ins including Ad-block+, Behind the Overlay, Disable Autoplay, Tab session manager, Facebook Purity, then I add Palemoon with all plug-ins including AdBlock Latitude, Age unlimiter for Youtube, Cookie Manager, Dismiss the Overlay, Flash Stopper, Greesemonkey, Facebook Purity, Session manager. I also add free apps such as Easeus Partition Manager, ConText for Linux file editing, PC Navigator 18 using the free OpenMap suite and I have a GPS USB receiver for this, old corporate version of MS Office I own that works fine for my needs, free Exact Audio CD ripper, ImgBurn to burn CD/DVDs, DVDFab to backup DVDs, Mp3Tag MP3 tag editor for music collection eding, Libre office, Kodi streaming TV app and many more. It's hard to tell my desktop for a Windows 7 one. I also go through many many iterations of killing and disabling all the apps that are on the original Windows 10 desktop and assigning other default apps away from these such as assigning default email client to the old MS Office version that I continue to use, assign default browser to (currently) Palemoon which I use instead of Firefox once Firefox got taken over and bloated, avoid all Chrome and Google tools as Google siphons every aspect of our personal lives and uses it to market, use my own email server to avoid anything Google, and others but this is just a basic guide to get you started with a friendly Window 10 computer that looks like a Windows 7. Enjoy!
