Caps Lock
Have you written an email to someone and realized to late that you accidently hit the Caps Lock key and most of the email is in all caps? This has happened to almost everyone and is of course a violation of email etiquette because all caps letters makes it appear you are mad.
You do not have to delete everything and start over though. Instead, highlight the problem text, hold down Shift and tap F3. This will change all those letters from upper to lower or vice versa. Also, with a third tap you can make the text Title case, Meaning It Looks Like This.
Mass Rename
Do you take a lot of pictures and are tired of seeing the arbitrary image names like IMG_0123.jpg or DSC0123.jpg ? There is a way to rename a group of pictures to help you organize your folders. For instance, you can select all your Christmas pictures and rename them.
To do this, highlight the photos that you wish to rename, right mouse-click and select Rename. Type in the name you wish the photos to be, such as Christmas 2011 . All the photos will be renamed with a number at the end, such as Christmas 2011 (1) . You can do this with documents and other media as well.
★How to speed up your pc.
There are a thousand ways by which ,one can speed up a computer!!.It doesnt take much time really,to be frank...
A quick an easy one is to delete those temporary internet files, IE users need only click on tools>internet options - and then "delete files" under temporary internet files.
Also uninstall any software that you do not use any more. The best way is through start>settings>control panel and then "add or remove programs"
Another easy one is to keep your hard drive "defragged" A hard drive's data can get fragmented or separated along the drive. "Defragging" will bring your data back in a more orderly fashion allowing the drive to call it up quicker. Click on start>programs>accessories>system tools>disk defragmenter.
Did not get me???,I recommend these steps too!:
Step 1: Cleanup your hard drive. This is number one for a reason folks. So many people just do not cleanup their hard drive and that can really degrade your pc performance. You can goto My Computer, Drive C, Properties, and then click on disk cleanup. You can also download the freeware utility Ccleaner. This free program will cleanup all kinds of useless junk off your pc.
Step 2: Remove unnecessary bells and whistles by disabling some of the visual effects that comes on by default in windows. This will recover a lot of lost resources for running faster instead of making pretty edges around unused icons that you never look at and such.
How to Disable Unneeded Visual Effects:
(Removes the visual effects, and increases computer performance)
1. Click your “Start” button to access the start menu
2. Then right click on “My Computer”
3. Select “Properties”
4. Select the “Advanced” tab
5. Then under the “Performance” tab select “Settings”
6. Click “Adjust for best performance”
7. Save these settings by clicking “OK”
How to disable the Indexing Service:
(Unnecessary default service, disabling will increase your performance)
1. Click your “Start” button to access the start menu
2. Click “My Computer”
3. Under “Hard Disk Drives” right click on your Hard Disk
4. Click “Properties”
5. Uncheck “Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching”
6. Click “Apply”
7. Select “Apply changes to C:\ Subfolder and files” and click “OK”
8. If anything pops up on the screen simply click “Ignore”
Step 3: Uninstall unused software and programs that you don’t really need. Click Start, then Control Panel, Add Remove Programs. Now there will be a list pop up of all the software installed on your computer. Simply uninstall unused programs by clicking the uninstall button beside the unwanted software.
This will help free up hard drive space and help increase your overall system performance.
Step 4: Make sure you have updated to the latest versions of windows for your computer. This is offered totally free by microsoft’s website WindowsUpdate.com. You can also follow the directions below to goto the windows update site.
1. Click “Start”
2. Click “All Programs”
3. Look all the way on top and you’ll find a “Windows Update” or
“Microsoft update” button, then click the icon.
Step 5: For the last step and what is maybe the most important step we need to optimize your computer. This will allow your computer to run at it’s top speed. Your registry contains all the core information that your pc uses to run properly. Windows uses it every time it runs to tell the computer exactly how to handle information with all available hardware and software.
Optimize your computer with a qualified registry cleaner weekly. This will ensure you get top performance. There are many reputable products out there.
You certainly don’t have to use it but I prefer it to others and will use it for this demonstration.
