Windows 8 Tricks
Here are
some tricks which will make windows 8 much more interesting and if you
are using windows 8 on a touch screen device it will be a fun
experience.
1. Overview
Your Entire Start Screen By Semantic Zoom If you’re using a touch
screen, squeeze the Start screen with two fingers to receive a bird’s
eye view of your entire screen contents. This is useful when you have a
lots of apps/programs installed and want to see all the apps without
scrolling the contents up and down.
2. Use Windows Hot Corners
The corners on your screen provides you to different Windows features. Below, is a brief explanation of each of these corners.
Bottom
Left-hand corner of the screen will allow you to access the Start
screen, if you’re in the Start screen and have the Desktop open, this
corner will open the Desktop from the Start screen.
Quick Tip: Right-clicking in the left hand corner will open the power user menu.
Moving the
mouse to the top-left corner and then down will display all the apps
running on the computer. Clicking and dragging any of these apps to the
left or right-hand side of the screen will snap that app to that side of
the screen. Each of these open app icons can also be right-clicked to
close or snap.On the full right-hand side of the screen will be given
access to the Windows Charms.
3. Why Close Buttons Are Hard To Find?
Closing a
program seems easy, but you might have noticed that close buttons are
hard to find in Windows 8. That’s because Microsoft encourages us to run
apps in the background where they’ll take up minimal resources, but
still be accessible at any time!Still, anyway, you can close an app 1)
by dragging it from top to bottom, or 2) using Alt+F4 keys or 3) using
the task manager.
4. Find Anything Using Power-packed Search
Search looks
power-packed. Start typing anything you are looking for in the search
bar and it will search in the apps, files/folders and emails too.
5. Windows 8 God Mode Folder?
Create a magic folder which contains all the Windows 8 setings and hidden tweaks:
1. Create a “New Folder” by right-clicking on empty spot in any directory, preferably Desktop.
2. Give the folder this name: All Settings .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. Open the
folder to see a complete list of settings.But be careful for using
advanced settings, don’t change them unless you are an expert.
6. PC Slowed Down? Get Fresh Windows 8 Easily in Minutes!
In Windows 7
and previous versions, you had to format and re_install the entire OS
to get a fresh feel. This was a tiresome and time-wasting process.
Windows 8 provides an in-built way to refresh your computer!In order to
perform the Windows 8 refresh, go to Settings and click the Change PC
Settings tab near the bottom. Select the General tab and find the
“Refresh your PC without affecting your files” section near the middle
(you may also select “Remove everything and re_install Windows” to get
the true factory settings treatment). Select “Get started” and press
“Refresh.” After a few minutes the PC will restart, and you will have a
fresh copy of Windows 8.
7. Shut Down Shortcut:
Windows 8
hides the Power button in the Settings menu, so it takes multistep
process just to shut down your PC. But you can pin a Shutdown button
right onto the bottom of your desktop using following trick:Create a
shortcut on your desktop (right-click, go to New, then Shortcut). Enter
“shutdown /s /t 0″ (with no quotes, and, yes, that’s a zero not an “O”)
as the location of the item, and press Next. Now name the shortcut
(prefereably “Shutdown”) and press Finish.Right-click the shortcut, and
navigate to Properties. Choose Change Icon in the Shortcut tab, and then
OK to leave the warning box. Choose an icon of your choice from the
list. In the screenshot above, you’ll see we chose a Power
button.Right-click the shortcut again, and select Pin to Start. You can
place the icon on your Start screen wherever it’s convenient. Clicking
it will instantly shut down your computer.But which one is the easiest
and fastest way to shutdown? Hit power button on your computer!
