Windows Tips & Tricks!
Permanently
delete files
If you want to permanently delete files without
moving them to Recycle bin, hold down the
Shift key while pressing delete. If you don't
want the recycle bin altogether, right-click
the Recycle Bin and click on Properties. On
the Global Tab, select Do not move files to
the Recycle Bin. If you enable configure drivers
independently, you can set this up for the
drivers you want.
Windows System Configuration
A very useful tool included with Windows is
the System Configuration Utility. Select Start
> Run and type 'msconfig' in the Open box
to launch the application. The system Configuration
utility makes fiddling with programs to launch
at Startup or editing autoexec.bat, config.sys
etc. a lot easier. To system Configuration
Utility also allows you to crease a backup
of your system files. It would be a good idea
to use this before you begin making changed.
Preview Images
You can easily preview your Image files by
enabling "Web View" from the toolbar or from
the Windows Explorer menu, select View >
As Web page. A better way to preview images
is as thumbnails instead of icons. To enable
this view in Windows Explorer, right-click
the folder you want to preview and click on
Properties. Check the box against Enable thumbnail
view and click OK to exit the dialog box.
Now, form the View menu, select Thumbnails.
