Windows 8 Handy Tips

Use Windows 8's keyboard shortcuts

Use Windows 8's keyboard shortcuts

To launch Regedit, you may need to use a shortcut key. Here are some of the keys that can help you in Windows 8:

Pressing the Windows key and R simultaneously brings up the Run box.

Pressing Windows+I brings up your settings from the side panel.

Pressing Windows+Q brings up an application search.

Pressing Windows+C brings up the simple Start menu and time and date

Setting SmartScreen filtering

If you've played around a bit with Internet Explorer, you know that IE utilizes a feature called SmartScreen to filter and protect your system from harmful elements. In fact, Windows 8 uses SmartScreen to filter the entire Windows system, not just IE. You can find these settings in the control panels and in the Action Center under the Change SmartScreen Settings heading.

Revisiting your file history

There's a cool new applet called File History in the control panel that can help you recover files, much like Mac OS X's Time Machine utility. You can configure the folders to focus on and/or exclude and determine the location of the drive for the backup destination (preferably an external drive). This allows you to check any file through Explorer by selecting the Home ribbon tab and clicking the History option

Fixing disk errors

You can perform two different disk scans in Windows 8. The Scan Drive utility scans the disk and fixes minor issues but lets you keep using it during the operation. The Scan and Repair Drive utility does a deeper scan and can fix major issues, but your disk is unavailable throughout the process. To get these utilities, select a drive in the Explorer, right-click, and choose Properties from its contextual menu as you would in Windows 7 or earlier. From the Tools pane, click Check Now in the error-checking section.
