Some basic tricks in Windows

How to open the Control Panel while surfing the web on a PC and not the Start menu?

Please enter the address bar of Control Panel content like entering a normal website address. Of course, you will replace the content in <> with the Control Panel entries like Add or Remove Programs , Accessibility Options , Keyboard , Mouse . For example, you will type Control PanelAdd or Remove Programs and press Enter to see how effective this trick is.

Turn off Indexing

Windows XP keeps a record of all files present on the hard drive so that the file search process (Search) is faster. But this approach has a major drawback, that is, the process of manipulating the file will be "stubborn" because the computer is busy updating the record. If you don't regularly use the file search function, simply turn off Indexing . Go to the Start menu> open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > open the Indexing Services > click on the file, select Properties > select Disabled and then OK to save the changes.

Delete the recorded file in Run

There is nothing more troublesome than having to share computers with many people, especially when children are at home watching computers as an attractive toy. What will happen if during the "learning" process, the child accidentally opens the Run and gets Windows XP "directing the deer to run" in the mode of saving the programs you have retrieved. Msconfig is an example, because just a little change in System Configuration Ulity is enough to leave an unintended consequence.

To avoid falling into a bad situation, you should "use" the following tips. Open the Start menu> Run > enter regedit to open Registry Editor> follow the path HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / RunMRU . In the right pane, you will find the programs that were opened with the Run command arranged in order a, b, and c (images). Just click on the program you want to delete and click Delete then click Yes when the dialog box appears to confirm.

Faster, to delete all recorded files, right-click on MRUList and select Delete . For changes to be updated, don't forget to restart your computer.

Small tricks in Firefox

A search dialog that connects to the built-in Google search engine in Firefox will be the "platform" for you to perform the following procedure. Look at the top left corner of the screen to determine the location of the search box. When you need to use a few quick calculations, enter the data into the search box and press Enter to get the answer from Google. For example, enter 6 * 5, you will get the answer immediately 30.

The second technique is for searching. You can ask Google to find an existing word in the website you are browsing by highlighting the word or phrase, right-clicking and selecting Search for xxx (xxx is the content you have blacked out). Google search results will be immediately listed in a new tab.
