Windows shortcut to save your time

One of the must interested thing with Information technology is; shortcut is permitted! You are not a geek in computer world without using shortcuts. I know the first thing that comes to people mind about shortcuts is ctrl+c for copy or ctrl+v for paste! There are many windows shortcut that can save time! And make you get the best speed out of your windows machine.

Power of Ctrl+alt+

Create key combination for programs. Sometimes it sound tedious if you want to run a particular program, you have to come back to the desktop or all programs environment. What am about to show you will help you open any program (as long as you have created the shortcut key for the program) while running other programs, without going through startmenu nor desktop environment.

Step 1>>> Locate the program you want to create shortcut

Step 2>>> Right click and select properties, its always the last available option.

Step 3>>> Click on the shortcut option at the top of the opened window

Step 4>>> Locate a text field with the title shortcut key

Step 5>>> Click inside the text field and choose your shortcut key (it must be one character letter, number or special character ). as we can see we will have more than 40 unique keys.

Step 6>>> Click apply. UAC will popup asking for administrative privilege. Click continue then click OK.

You can now access your Application using this combination ctrl+alt+the key you defined. NB: This trick is based on first come first serve! And seniority! When you first create libre office shortcut with ctrl+alt+L, and later create the same shortcut to another App, no error will occur, but the first program will always use the shortcut.

Taskbar shortcut combination

This shortcut is short and precise. It goes in order! Meaning you count the apps pinned to your taskbar from left to right. My taskbar goes in this order. 1 Windows player, 2 File Explorer, 3 Word web, 4 Firefox, 5 Adobe Reader, 6 Xampp, 7 Firefox for developers, 8 Driver booster, 9 Android studio and 10 VLC. If I want to to access start, all I will do is click on menu key+6 Xampp will automatically starts. Again if its Android studio I want to start I will use the combination windows key+9 respectively. NB: This trick only work with 1 to 9.

Try alt+tab key your self....

Powerful words from Steve Jobs on his sick bed

Powerful message. Steve Jobs’ Last Words - I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer… Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth… Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ... Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just l...

Turn your Word doc into a PDF with a live table of contents

A long report needs to be broken up into sections. Readers will want shortcuts to the chapters that most interest them. So, if you’re distributing your reports as PDFs, you’ll want live tables of contents in which readers can easily go to the chapters they want to read. Fortunately, this is easy to do in Word 2010 or 2013 (I haven’t tested this in earlier versions). First of all, you need to set up your document properly. Use Word’s outline styles— Heading 1, Heading 2 , and so on—to organize your report. For instance, you might want to assign large section titles as Heading 1, chapter titles as Heading 2, sub-chapters as Heading 3, and so on. By the way, using these headings has other advantages. You can select View>Outline and work on your document as a collapsible outline. Also, the left tab of the Navigation pane uses these styles. But back to the table of contents. When you’re ready to distribute your document, select the References tab and click...
