GENERAL COMPUTER TRICKS
Problem Step Recorder (PSR) Trick

This is a very handy trick for troubleshooting.

PSR will help you to record your mouse click and take a screenshot of the section you click on.

If you are having some issues with your computer use PSR to capture the screen and send it to an
expert to guide you on what to do.

The best way to get the feel of this trick is to try it.

Bring out the run box using Windows Key + R

Type in PSR then hit enter.

Click on start record. Whenever you click the program will record it capture the screen and give
some explanations of what happened it that area.

a PC.

You just have to disable some of the programs.

There a many ways of doing this but the simplest way that will work on all Windows is
msconfig.

Click start or Search> type msconfig > go to startup bar >

Use the check box to disable/enable any program you want.

Using Cloud Backup

It is a good practice to back up your important files.

Apart from you using local backup, using cloud backup can help you a lot and can also save you
a lot of stress.

One good reason why I like cloud backups is that the backup will be going underground even
without you noticing it at times.

There many sites offering this service. Two of the popular ones are Dropbox and Google Drive.

Computer Trick to Rotate Your Screen.

This trick usually freaks people out.

It is an amazing trick that I like doing.

You can use it to turn your screen upside down.

Hold Ctrl + Alt + the arrow keys

Use it to freak you friends out.

How to Lock Your Computer Without Moving Your Mouse in Seconds?

Use the Windows Key plus L key.

This is useful when you don’t want someone to see what you are doing and the person suddenly
enters the room.

Just use the trick and voila your screen is locked.

Please don’t use your computer for bad things there are a lot of good ways of using it.

More on that later.

Mac users can use this trick by holding Command + Option + Power.

You can replace Power with Eject if you like.

That is a bit slow.

Just select the file and press F2.

How to Rename multiple files at a time.

If you have many files you want to rename you don’t need to select the files one after the other.

Just highlight all the files and rename the first on the list.

All the files will have the same name with different numbers at the end of the name.

How To Minimize All Programs

Do you have a lot of programs running and you want to minimize all go to the desktop but you
don’t want to be clicking around minimizing all of them one after the other?

It can be a pain in the ass if the programs are many, I know that.

Use Windows Key + D to minimize all the whole programs at once.

programs again if you press it twice.

Windows M will only minimize all the programs but cannot maximize them back.
