Sometimes my finger slips and I get the startscreen opened, but I can never figure out how it happened.
What's the hotkey for opening the start-screen when I have CSM running? |

| You can't prevent indexing of folders but you can prevent returning them in search results. The search box supports the Windows Advanced Query Syntax. So you can type: <Your search term> —kind:folder(— means exclude items with the kind:folder). I see. Well, it l'll go back to making .lnk-s then. |
