Ten awesome Windows tips & tricks

Well, I'm not really an expert with windows and avid fan of higher version of windows (vista to upper version), still I'm sticking in XP. There something I want to quote, correct and shared. [quote=bobcbar;#197338;1340769438]CTRL+P for paste,[/quote] [b]CTRL+P[/b] is for Print shortcut [b]CTRL+V[/b] is for Paste shortcut [quote=bobcbar;#197338;1340769438]Pin those apps See that taskbar at the bottom of the screen? In Windows 7, you can pin any application, website, file or folder you use a lot, so you can easily click to open it — regardless of what program you might be in. That is, if you use the calculator a lot, simply right mouse click on the app and choose "Pin to Taskbar" and move it wherever you like. This is much faster than clicking on the Start button, selecting All Programs, then Accessories and finally Calculator. For files, such as a Word or PDF document, simply drag to the taskbar and let go. If you have a lot of pins on your taskbar, you can press the Windows key (beside Alt) and a number (e.g. 1 or 2) and the corresponding app will launch from your taskbar.[/quote] I have this on my [b][url=http://lee-soft.com/viglance/]Viglance[/url] (windows tweaks)[/b] [quote=bobcbar;#197338;1340769438]Batch rename Photo takers should get to know the "batch rename" feature in Windows Explorer. Instead of all your images having arbitrary names like IMG_0339.jpg or DSC01121.jpg, you can highlight all your photos in a folder, right mouse-click and select Rename; now type in something relevant to the photos, like Spring Break 2012. And hit Enter. Now, all of those files will be renamed with a number at the end, such as Spring Break 2012 (1).jpg, plus you can quickly see what's inside the photo file by changing from "list" view to "large icons." This batch rename tip can also be used for documents and other media.[/quote] Even in lower version of windows have it. [quote=bobcbar;#197338;1340769438]Encrypt it If you share your Windows computer with someone and have a folder or files you want to password-protect, there's an easy way to do it with a built-in encryption tool. First select the folder or file you wish to encrypt, right-click on it and choose Properties. Now click the Advanced button and add a check beside "Encrypt contents to secure data" option. Click Apply and then Ok. To access this file you'll type in your Windows password used to log into your account. If your version of Windows doesn't offer this feature, there's always the free TrueCrypt software.[/quote] Just checking private, it will automatically unaccessible. Also, you can apply security policy per user. Installing, [b][url=http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23]Windows Search 4.0 for Windows XP[/url] [/b]have it too.
