  • Windblows 8.1 pains

    Ok hopefully someone can help shed some light on this one, Under windows 8.1 I have V-Ray installed for 3dsmax 2014, 2015 and 2016 and its great except is a serious pain trying to figure out which shortcuts go with which versions (see attachment) at least with windows 7 the different versions were separated in to different folders for lack of better words and I could easily find what I wanted for what version like DR and RT servers. Is there a way to have Win 8.1 display like Win 7 did with sub categories or am I screwed and have to click each link one at a time to find out what versions they go with?

    I might yet dump Win8.1 and go back to 7 just for this reason alone as this seriously sucks.

    Do yourself a favor and get StarDock's Start8 - it brings back the Start Menu as you are used to (http://www.stardock.com/products/start8/) at least until Windows 10 comes along.

        Yes Start8 or ClassicShell makes 8.x usable. Without them it's simply a nightmare on a desktop.
