More Windows Secrets
Wednesday, July 18, 2007
In addition to the Windows hotkeys from my previous post, there are more Windows secrets than we already know. Let me share some of them with you. (Sorry Linux users, I'm a total noob when it comes to your OS so I'll just make use of what I have =P)
- Did you know, you can't create a folder named con anywhere in Windows? I don't know why, but I think it's supposed to be a command to the system. Weird. [Info given by Marc]
- If you're too tired of right clicking your files to see its properties, one alternative is to press [ALT] + [ENTER] on the selected item.
- Did you know that you can also rename multiple files at once? Select them all, right click and select Rename. Enter the desired name. They will be renamed using what you specified, with a number in parentheses to distinguish them.
- To restore your minimized windows (through [Windows Key] + [M]), you can press: [Windows Key] + [Shift] + [M].
- Did you know that you can invert your screen instantly (For Windows XP only)? Simply click the following:
- [CTRL] + [ALT] + [Down Arrow]: to invert the screen
- [CTRL] + [ALT] + [Up Arrow]: to undo the inversion
