    Hello,ZNorQ,

I thought you didn't like where the window opended not the shortcuts to the
    left.

As to the shortcuts I think this is matter of Bill Gates knows, "What's best
    for you."

What I do is use Windows Classic View then I don't have to look at those
    shortcuts at all.

You can always put your own shortcuts in Window's Start Menu, just by
    dragging them there.

    Also you can put them in the Window's status bar.
