How to Create Your own Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 10 ?? :: 2 Simple Ways.

Windows 10 allows you to create custom shortcuts for any program, whether it's a traditional "desktop" app, a new-fangled "universal app" or one of Windows 8's "metro apps."  Here's how.


Method 1: Create a Desktop               Shortcut.

1. Open a command prompt window. You can get there by typing "cmd" into the Cortana / Search box and then right clicking on Command Prompt and selecting "Run as administrator."

 

2. Type "explorer shell:AppsFolder" (without quotes) at the command prompt and hit Enter. A window with a list of all your apps appears.



3. Right click on an app and select Create shortcut. It may be easier to find your app if you change the view setting to "detailed list" so you can see all the icons in a single column.

4. Click Yes when asked if you want the shortcut on the desktop. A new shortcut icon appears on your desktop.
5. Right click on the new shortcut icon and select Properties.
6. Enter a key combination in the Shortcut key field. The combination must be CTRL + ALT + a letter / number.

7. Click OK.
Note: Remember not to use the same key combination twice. Also note that some programs use CTRL + ALT + keyboard shortcuts that would also launch if you were in their windows. For example, in Photoshop Elements, CTRL + ALT + I brings up the resize menu.

Here's the second method -:
       

Method 2: Use the Start Menu.

1. Open the Start Menu.
2. Navigate to the icon or tile for the app you want. If the app is not pinned as a tile, you can find it by clicking on the All apps and scrolling through the alphabetical list.
3. Right click and select Open file location. A window opens with a shortcut icon. If Open file location doesn't appear on the menu, this is a modern or universal app and you'll have to follow method 1 above.
4. Right click on the shortcut icon and select Properties.
5. Enter a key combination in the "Shortcut key" box. 
6. Click OK.

How to Find and Remove Duplicate Files on Windows :: Simple way.


We all happen to have duplicate files on our computer and they waste a lot of precious space on our hard drive. Here is how you can remove duplicate files and free up some disk space.

dupeGuru is an awesome application for this purpose. It is completely free and comes in three styles: dupeGuru Music Edition, dupeGuru, and dupeGuru Pictures Edition. The pictures and music editions are specific for  finding similar pictures and music files. For example, the pictures edition will find duplicates of the same photo even if they have been rotated, resized, or slightly edited . Or the music edition will find copies of the same song, even if they are in different MP3 files that are encoded at a different bitrates. This tool makes use of a “fuzzy match” algorithm which is capable of finding files that are identical and also the ones that are very similar to each other.
                                      

Click Here To DOWNLOAD


DupeGuru is a completely open-source software. The installer will not attempt to drag any toolbars or other junk onto your system, and it is not even trying to hook you to anything.

                      
 The interface is simple, and easy to use. Just open it, add a few folders or drives you want to scan, and click Scan. You will see a list of copies of files, from which you can select and delete the files to remove. Double-click a file in the list to open and examine it.

if  You May Already Have Installed:: CCleaner

CCleaner is a popular tool, so there’s a good chance you already have it installed. CCleaner’s main feature is its junk file remover, which frees up space on your hard drive by removing unnecessary temporary files, but it also has quite a few other built-in tools, including a duplicate file finder.
Launch CCleaner and click Tools > Duplicate Finder to find this feature. It’s available on all versions of CCleaner, so you don’t need to pay for CCleaner Pro to use it.
CCleaner’s default settings are sensible, and will allow you to search for duplicate files on your C: drive while ignoring system files and hidden files. You could also choose to search a specific directory by clicking the “Add” button on the Include pane and selecting that folder. Be sure to select “Include files and subfolders” option while adding a new folder to ensure CCleaner searches any folders inside the folder you specify, too.
This tool’s interface for viewing duplicate files isn’t fancy, and doesn’t have all the same preview options Auslogics Duplicate File Finder does. However, it does allow you to easily select which files you want to delete and even save the list of duplicates to a text file.  but it’s a basic interface that allows you to select which files you want to delete and even save the list of duplicate files to a text file. You can right-click a file in the list and select “Open containing folder” if you want to view the file itself on your system.
