Maybe it's just my age, but I use File Explorer to find things on my PC.

But Windows loves to not show you things, and the main folder(C:) just seems to get worse and more cluttered with folders with a name like: 4783DDBMJUD84WWIOT.

Well, the thing is that the start menu used to be useful. So the habit is there. Even in Linux, this is the same.

But now in windows, it's a pile of crap riddled with ads.

Even when Win95 came out, I was so used to 3.1 navigation and the MSDOS prompt, the Start menu just never had any appeal to me.

Hell, I even right-click to shut down or restart.

I started using computers at windows 95, so to me the start menu was always there.
