Terminal > Windows Registry.

Normal people (idiots) would rather spend 4 years of their overall life “hacking” with Windows to avoid 30 minutes learning to use a forward slash.
I mean it’s probably a similar amount of time and effort trying to fix Windows than it is learning to use Linux.
I once spent several hours at work trying to mount a USB drive to red hat. I’ll keep fighting windows for now.
On work machines, it may also be on purpose (IT department having restricted the use of USB storage).

Yeah. If that’s not one of the first things IT did when they got hired, then you need a new IT. You seriously can’t trust anyone to not plug a random USB into volatile infostructure.

Also, they could do it to prevent theft of their proprietary code and other things that you’d probably need to sign a NDA to even see in the first place.
