Ran out of lines. For me, that's not a common word!

I agree, it's not a common word.

I have a number of dialogs set up in my project in multiple programs. I'm developing in C+ MFC VS 2010. The Tab Order control wasn't showing in the View menu. The Tools->Configure dialog showed it in the menu tree, but it didn't show at all. I was able to add it by going through adding a menu item. The dialog shows two Tab Orders, but the menu now only shows one, but it's always grayed out, even if I have the resource editor open showing the dialog I want to set the tab order for, but it's always grayed out. Anyone ever run into this and if so how did you fix it?
I also had some trouble logging in. I've used Firefox with this site for years, but today when I went to Codeproject and clicked on the top "Sign in" link, nothing happens. I got the login on another browser and I got a login that work in Firefox when I went to the Lounge and clicked on the login in the center of the page.
I made sure that Firefox had a popup exception for Codeproject and this is new behavior. It worked a few weeks ago when I was here.

Why are you using VS 2010 ?

Probably for the same reason I and my team continue to use VS2008. Our engineering management are a bunch of hardware engineers, and nothing makes them clutch their pearls harder than the idea of changing our tooling.

I have a 3TB HDD that's basically just adding weight to my machine, but I don't want to dig it out.
Windows is like: "I see you clicked build on a project that runs entirely off your NVMe system drive, let me just make you take a shower/make a sandwich while I spin up your HDD for no reason."
"Oh I see you want to extract a file from a zip in your C: download directory? Let me spin up D and make you wait, while you hear it just to make you mad."
I thinks it's ext4, not even NTFS, but i'm not sure because the only time it gets used is when windows randomly decides to pause everything while it wakes it up.
I keep it in there mostly on the off chance VMs (see my prior posts about VM woes) aren't going to do the job and I need to dual boot, but Windows is hurling it like a brick straight through my workflow.
So now I have to dig it out, because in their infinite wisdom Windows designers thought that spinning up the drive during unrelated operations would be some kind of win.

Just wait till they 'cloud'-ify everything in the next iteration of Windows - it will be SO MUCH BETTER!!! 
Their hubris is almost unbearable. How many years has it been, and you still can't place the start menu on the right or left sides of the screen, like you could in Win10?
It's going to get worse...

I actually appreciate them moving the Start menu more to the center, because my screen is GIGANTIC, and I don't want it in my peripheral vision area.

I was talking about the option to dock left or right. They could have just added an option to the old menu to center it as you like, and improved the menu that way. But doing so wouldn't have satisfied their hubris, I guess...

Except windows did this before copilot too, although it does seem to do it more now.

Is this because windows is using it as virtual memory to save writes to the NVMe drive?
That would at least make some sense, even if it is not quite what you want.

seems to me that I can disable drives in BIOS (or whatever Dell calls it these days), under the heading "Drives".

I couldn't find the option to actually disable it in my bios settings. And yeah, I tried advanced mode. It lets me reorder them, and even SMART scan them, but disabling is apparently a league too far.

So, I have dusted off my project yet again. Written in FORTRAN my goal is to lift it to modern systems. I've asked various questions over the years, but I hope this might just be my last hurrah that pays for the sailboat I want and pay off my mortgage. I also want to pull in some coder whannabees from local high schools (but that is VERY tbd).
Digging into this - my experience says the biggest issue with the existing system is that it's a big blob. I'll leave it there. I don't want to get into too much detail and vector my question.
In doing my research, I know I want to use C# to implement the initial UI. What I've concluded is that C# is the tip of the Microsoft iceberg. A language is a language - you just need to get familiar with it's quirks. But underneath C# is the mass of .net. Just like mfc, com, com++, dcom, ActiveX and all of the other rot MS pukes out. Don't get me wrong, some of it is okay. But it seems C# is the trivial part.
Am I on the wrong trail, or have I got this right?
