Windows Tricks - 3

Today we are again going to talk about two tricks which you can use on Windows 7.

1. Keyboard Shortcuts for Programs
If you are looking for faster way to access programs then you can create keyboard shortcuts for any program in Windows 7. Right-click the program icon and select Properties. Select the Shortcut tab, click in Shortcut key, to set the keyboard shortcut for that program.



Now here 'C' is shortcut key for Calculator and 'P' is for Paint, then you just need to press Ctrl+Alt+C for Calculator and Ctrl+Alt+P for Paint.



2. Add Videos To Your Start Menu
Again this is one of the fatser ways to access programs in Windows 7. Suppose Windows 7 does not place a link to your videos on the Start Menu by default. To add a link to your videos on the Start Menu, right-click Start, select Properties, click on Customize. In the Videos section at the bottom, choose Display as a link.

Windows Tricks - 1

Today we'll talk about two tricks here.
1) Virtual Diary
You want a quick diary on your pc, but dont want to install a separate program for this purpose. And writing notes in a word processor by giving date-time everytime isn’t a good idea.

Try this:
Open ‘NOTEPAD’.
Type .LOG (remember .log or .Log wont work)

Save the file with any desired any name and close the notepad window.


Now everytime you will try to open this notepad file….the current date and time will be already placed there. So, this way it’ll become a virtual diary.






2) Windows Key + Arrows
Just try them out..
Windows key + Left: docks current window to the left side of the screen.
Windows key + Right: docks current window to the right side of the screen.
Windows key + Up: maximizes and/or restores foreground window.
Windows key + Down: minimizes active window.
