But I will add the latest anti-ransomware cryptoprevent to offset that.
I invited myself to join dropbox via a different email and used that link on new PC, picking up 500Mb for the referral, so now I'll sign out, & sign in to to the main dropboax account instead and that will copy over my calibre libraries backup.
when you guys are done with debating jump lists, I'd appreciate your take on ransomware vulnerability. google is telling me that it CAN get into win 8 and can bypass both UAC and defender ? in which case I may as well turn UAC off ?

I have Win 8.1 and Win 7 both talking to each other. The Win 7 systems have accounts I've created just for networking and the Win 7 systems use the account the Win 8 systems use.
This way, the systems can see each other no problem. But you do need password protected networking.
