If you knew everything there was to know about a computer us IT technicians would be out of a job. It’s also good to mention that we spend a lot of time and money on educating ourselves on everything technical. So, whilst we don’t expect you to know everything, there are some simple things that can make your life a little easier.
- Remote access
Working from home can make life a lot easier, but what if you forget to send the information to your work computer? All you need to do is set up TeamViewer and you have remote access to both your devices at any time.
- Control
The old saying, don’t take shortcuts is not true in this scenario. Why waste time looking for commonly used documents when Windows can provide you with easy shortcuts at the touch of the control button.
- Top Secret
Working on a top-secret project? If you’re working on something and want to keep it hush hush, why not lock the folder with a password. This is a relatively easy thing to do and a great way to keep all your good work under wraps until you are ready to unveil it.
- Mouse
Your mouse has broken and you are working towards an important deadline. Maybe you can swipe one of someone else’s desk, but what if you can’t, what do you do? That’s easy, your keyboard can double up as your mouse.
Simply click on the ‘Start’ button and go to the ‘Control Panel’, click the ease of access and then click on ease of ‘Access Centre’ and click on ‘Make the mouse easier to use’ and tick the box that says, ‘Turn on the Mouse Keys’.
