I think the settings have greatly improved in Win8 and Win10 over Windows 7.

Windows 8 and 10 now have settings where you might expect to find them under the right areas, topics or headings.

Windows 7 was a nightmare where if you knew the setting you wanted to change, you could not change it until you had played "Jeopardy" to come up with the question to which your setting was the answer.

The worst default was the maximizing of windows if you inadvertently dragged it too near the edge of the screen.
