Windows have many features and so accordingly tricks exist. The tricks that I'm going to explore in this post only work in Windows. I'm going to publish the similar post for the mac user later on as soon as possible. So, don't get disappointed. These tricks are for those who want to use different shortcuts to their works to make it efficient at different levels. So, the coolest 5 Windows tricks I'm going to share in this post for your ready guidance. So, Let's get started.
1. Hide Folders in Windows
It is always a good idea to hide sensitive information from unauthorized access. To hide the folder make a right click on the folder icon you want to hide and click on "Property".
➤ In the attributes section click on "Hidden" and then "Ok".
➤ Now your folder is hidden on the screen. If it doesn't work then make sure by going to the option "show hidden files, folders and drives" if it is unchecked.
➤ To show the folder or revert the changes- open control panel and then go to "Folder options".
➤ Click on the "view" tab to open files and folders option. In the "Hidden Files and Folders" click on "Show hidden files, folders or drives".
➤ Click on "Apply" and then click on "Ok".
2. Bypass the recycle bin
If any file is accidentally deleted, it will first go to recycle bin. If you want to bring back the file in the previous location then you have to restore it from the recycle bin. However, if you want to delete a file permanently without moving into the recycle bin then instead of pressing "Del" key press Shift+Delete (Hold the shift and press delete) to confirm whether to delete it permanently or not. Press "Enter" to delete it permanently.
➤ You can also hide the recycle bin from the desktop screen. To do this, right click on the desktop screen and click on "Personalize".
➤ On the left side of the screen click on "Change desktop icons", unchecked the recycle bin and then apply to make changes.
3. Cancel the current running program
If your computer freezes up suddenly or you're unable to close a specific program that is running on the screen or the computer is unable to restart or shutdown, in this case, you can solve this problem by going to the "task manager" and then end up the process. To go to the task manager hold Alt Ctrl and Del key together. Click on "Start task manager".
➤ After appearing the Windows Task manager dialogue box find the affected program and then select it.
➤ Finally, click on "End Task" to end up or exit the program. That's it.
Note: Any unsaved data in the program is lost if you exit the program in this manner.
