2014-01-05T16:37:00+00:00 It's kind of funny that after more than a year of people complaining about this problem Microsoft has done nothing to alleviate the problem. If you do a search for this issue there are thousands of hits yet Microsoft just ignores it. Too busy working on the next even more intrusive version of windows I guess.
