I vaguely remember having to deal with one user who used this setting. Very confusing if you're not used to it, and I have a vague memory of some inconsistencies or problems with it. It was a long time ago - Windows NT.

My problem might have been that if I wanted to delete something, I would click on it to select it, then press Delete ...

I think it would feel natural on a touch screen.

> Check boxes on - Ditto but also useful on PC

What are they?

> Display File Extensions - Deah! (Oz version of doh) meaning bleeding
> obvious that it should be on by default.

Agreed. Hiding them just leads to confusion and vulnerability to being tricked with double extensions.

> Display Hidden Files - Deah! but not system files because then you see
> all the desktop.ini files scattered across Desktop.
> Always display menu - How is anyone supposed to know it's there unless
> it's displayed.

> Pointer Arrow_RL - Gives a large black mouse pointer that is much
> easier to see than the usual white arrow on a white background.
> Ctrl - When you press CTRL radar rings are displayed around pointer.
> Makes it much easier to find in bright sunlight,

I use this too.
