Thanks for the info about Classic Shell. I may try that if I'm still floundering after a few days. I loaded some of my familiar programs and done a bit of customizing, so the computer is starting to feel more like mine now, at least when I look at the desktop.
Bluetooth mouse is definitely something I should get. I am working with a cordless mouse now but that means using the only USB port. I like the touchscreen well enough, but the control with a mouse is so much better.
I've never disliked any previous incarnations of Windows--even Vista--because they never seemed to have much of a learning curve, until now. This just doesn't seem very intuitive, plus the terminology is new--it's hard to look up help on, say, the thingy over there on the side of the screen before you know what the Microsoft gods have named it!
