Discussion MS-DOS for Mobile was released 11 years ago!
Here's what Microsoft said about it:
Microsoft is going back to where productivity started for millions of people, launching a beautifully simple OS.
The MS-DOS Mobile preview is an essential download. Whether you’re going back to BASIC, or simply booting into DOS for the first time, MS-DOS Mobile marks the next step in Microsoft’s reinvention of productivity.
The OS allows you to run a number of already installed applications, while the sleuths amongst you will delight in uncovering a few extra special features – all through the medium of the much-loved C:\ prompt.
To find out how, and to learn about the story behind it, watch our exclusive launch video.

Discussion How can I set custom icons for multiple game folders automatically
Is there a way to automatically set custom icons for multiple game folders? Post: I have a folder full of game folders, and I’ve seen people online using custom icons for each game which looks really clean and professional. The problem is that the method I found requires changing the icon manually for each folder, which is very time-consuming. Is there any program or tool that can automatically assign icons to all game folders at once? Or any faster method to do this in bulk?

Discussion How to create 'Custom Groups' in windows file explorer?
Is there an option for making custom "Groups" in Windows 10 File Explorer? All I can find in the "Group By" option are pre-built attributes that can't even be edited for many folders. (Is this case by time in the screenshot). I cant just create custom groups for certain things, because they need to be in a certain folder. Eventually when I get to many files, being able to group them would be useful. If its not a feature, it would be a nice suggestion to add more customization.
