Windows hides so many tricks, tricks and hidden actions that it is almost impossible to know them all even for the most experienced. Among the various actions and ways of working with Windows we see some tricks, often little known, which should however be used by everyone to do things faster.
It is not a question of options or settings to be modified, but of actions to be performed with the mouse or keyboard that save a lot of time and make life more comfortable .
1) Shake a window to minimize all the others
One of the most useful and least known Windows tricks is this: if you click on the title bar of a window that is not full screen, hold down and shake the mouse a little, all other open windows are minimized in low and disappear from view freeing the visual space.
2) Delete your browser history on the fly
On all browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox and Chrome, you can delete your browsing history and any trace of internet use from your computer simply by pressing the CTRL + SHIFT + DELETE keys.
3) Highlight the address bar
Still talking about the browser, to go immediately to write an address or a search, without using the mouse, just press F6 and write.
4) Open Task Manager immediately
Most people know that pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL keys together when something is wrong on the computer opens the task manager access menu.
To be faster and open the Task Manager immediately, just press the CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys with fewer steps.
Of course, you can always open the task manager by right clicking on the taskbar.
5) God Mode
God Mode is a special Windows folder that opens up the full list of tools and settings.
In practice it is a complete control panel, only that all options are displayed as icons in a single folder.
To enable the God Mode folder, create a new folder on the desktop (or elsewhere) and give it the name: GodMode. {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
GodMode words can be edited, the important thing is that the code is kept in the braces
6) Write the filenames on the DOS command line
When you need to use the DOS command prompt, instead of writing the file names by hand, just drag them over to automatically see the name and path written.
7) See the desktop
One of the most used and most popular Windows tricks is the fast way to see the desktop clean and windowless at any time.
To do this, you can click the lower right corner of the screen or press Windows + D keys together.
The WIN key is the one with the Windows flag icon between CTRL and ALT.
8) Rename many files at once
To give a set of files the same name, select them all, press F2, rename one and press Enter.
Windows will change the name of all files by adding a 1, 2, 3 at the end of each name so as not to confuse them.
9) Lock your computer instantly
Especially those who use the laptop at work or at university are familiar with the shortcut to lock the computer quickly.
Whenever you leave your PC unattended, even at home, press the Windows + L keys to lock it.
The windows and programs you were using will remain open and you can resume work from where you left off.
10) Preview of the files
When browsing files in a folder, you can preview them on Windows without having to open them.
To do this, open a folder with images, texts, photos, documents, pdf etc. and press the ALT + P keys
The preview pane that appears next to it can also be enlarged.
