Summary of the tricks that you have neglected under Windows 8

We are now always a "competitive" for Windows users, and some less common tricks can make your Win 8 easier to use.

1. Re-open the delete confirmation dialog box

Windows users may be familiar with the confirmation button when deleting files for many years, but it does not appear in Windows 8 by default. Confirm the prompt to delete a specific file. This change in detail may cause problems for many users, but don't worry, there are still ways to get back to this dialog box.

Right click on “Recycle Bin” and select “Attributes”, then select the “Delete Confirmation Dialog” option in the pop-up dialog box.

Note: In fact, Win8 removes this dialog box is also worth encouraging. After all, deleting this action is not irreversible. First, the probability of users deleting the error is very small. Second, even if the user deletes the error, they can go to the recycle bin. Retrieving deleted files is costly. But every time you delete a file, a dialog box will be asked to confirm whether the cost of deleting the user is very large. Therefore, the changes in this detail are very worthy of our opinion.

2. Automatically save screenshots

In Windows 8, you don't have to press the PrtSc button like Windows before, and then you can paste it in the drawing or other image viewing process.

Press the “Win + PrtScr” button, the screen will have a darkening effect after releasing the button. After the screenshot is completed, it will be automatically saved to “Library-Picture-My Pictures-Screenshots&rdquo ;, the image is named by the format of the screenshot (x).png” by default, where x is a number and is automatically incremented in the order of the screenshot. (Auto-save only supports full-screen screenshots, Alt + PrtScr intercepts active windows and cannot be saved automatically.)

3. How do I make Hyper-V and VMware virtual machine software coexist?

If we are at a computer After installing and running Hyper-V, other virtual machines such as VMware will not run because both are based on the Hypervisor mechanism of the underlying hardware such as CPU, and they must manage the Hypervisor exclusively, so they cannot be simultaneously in one computer. run. So if you want to run two virtual machine platforms simultaneously in one system, you need to create two boot menus for Windows. You can choose whether you want to run Hyper-V at startup.

In addition to Hyper-V, you need to run a VMware virtual machine, but if you have two virtual machine platforms installed in your system, the VMware virtual machine will not work: this is because both are Based on the Hypervisor mechanism of the underlying hardware such as the CPU, they must manage the Hypervisor exclusively, so they cannot run simultaneously on a single computer. If you really need to install and use these two virtual machine platforms in one system, we can only use the compromise method for the moment, that is, create two boot menus for Windows, you can choose whether you want to run Hyper-V at startup. Please see Via for the specific implementation.

4. Run as administrator

Due to permissions and security issues, many applications need to be run as an administrator. For example, Potplayer can't modify the setting options by default under non-administrator privileges. At this time, you need to right-click and select “Run as administrator”, and the “Start Screen” button is also the right button. The option appears at the bottom. Select & rdquo; run as administrator, “, as shown below.

5. Modify file permissions

Similar to the application running administrator status, many files under Windows do not have full control permissions by default, you need to manually modify them. For example, the hosts file of the bitter and deep hatred, right-click the property to modify as shown below. (Basically consistent in Win 7)

6. Make Windows to Go

Load the prepared Windows 8 image file (ISO format) into the virtual drive;

Insert the prepared USB storage device;

Open the control panel and click “Windows To Go”;

Follow the steps in the next option to select the corresponding Win 8 Image files and USB storage devices are all available.

7. Log in to the system without a password.

Press the Windows + R key combination, type netplwiz in the pop-up interface and press Enter to launch the User Account dialog. The “user must enter a username and password to use this computer” checkbox to cancel, then click “OK”
