Tech Tip #2

Hey guys, it's Achintya back with Tech Tip Tuesday. Today's tip is how to enter Windows "God Mode" folder. Windows offers a centralized Control Panel for all of the OS settings, making it easy for users to tweak everything from desktop background to setting up a VPN. To enter this mode, create a new folder with this exact name (copy and paste it): God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. The folder icon will change to a Control Panel-style icon, and you will be able to jump in and change all kinds of settings.

Tech Tip #1

Tech Tip #1: Use Keyboard Shortcuts

You can use keyboard shortcuts to help make operating a computer easier. For example, to switch tabs on a browser, you can use ctrl + tab instead of using your mouse. You can also use ctrl + t to create a new tab, ctrl + shift + t to open the last closed tab, and ctrl + w to close your tab. Additionally, you can also use ctrl + c to copy, ctrl + v to paste, and ctrl + x to cut. For a full list of all the keyboard shortcuts, you can look at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12445/windows-keyboard-shortcuts.
