That's not my point. Google found Softpedia's Sledgehammer listing but Softpedia itself will not. The inference I draw from this curious fact is that Softpedia is somewhat fearful of MS (probably with reason) and MS most definitely dislikes Sledgehammer, again with reason.
This gives me comfort that Sledgehammer is a potent tool. Hence my thanks to Johnoh for the post. It's an important one and I like the suggestion above that with a bit of polishing it should be lodged with the other excellent tutorials on this site.

Hi johnhoh! I took your post and added links to it for more help to the reader. Please review and tell me if you approve. I left out screenshots as the links have such.
Looks good Lance, though I found two things that may be typos
when formatted, this line appears as:
"(I only proceed if Defcon isn't level 1 or 2)"Refer to link above""
and I assume you did not mean for Refer To Link Above to appear like that, and for the line
"I created a shortcut on my start menu Command Prompt, PowerShell or Run Dialog Box which goes straight to it"
I assume you meant for the red text to read something like How to Make a Shortcut to Win10 Settings
This should get a whole lot easier soon! W10 version 1903 has a "light theme" that looks very much like Windows 7! And the start menu is much simpler. Personally I'm not upgrading to 1903 until it's been out a bit longer.
OK!! I Bit The Bullet.. I Ran the media creation tool for Windows 10... Closed my left eye, stuck my tongue in my right cheek, crossed toes on both feet, crossed my fingers on my left hand, "I need my right hand for the mouse" AND!! ................... I Click Upgrade ...OMG! What Have I Done!! I finished the upgrade, I lit my torch and pulled my sword and made my way into the depths of darkness.. Actually! It's not that bad! I ran Sledgehammer, already have Classic Shell as you can see. I don't need Winaero Tweaker.. I'm running the dark theme. I like it. All In All! Good. Time to start digging around To make changes. I'm no stranger to Windows 10... Just being melodramatic and having fun! Interesting that some app's like Everything still come up white. Does this mean that I can't post in the windows 7 forum?? No problem.. I'll split the drive and ghost the image I created prior to the upgrade and dual boot. Always come prepared for disaster.
