Today’s Quick Tip….
Save time by right-clicking the Start button
If you have a Windows PC you surely know that clicking the Start button will open the Start Menu.
But did you know you can right-click the Start button as well?
When you do you’ll be presented with a streamlined text-only menu that provides quick access to several handy tools that usually require several mouse clicks to access.
When you need to access your PC’s Power Options, the Disk Management utility, Apps and Features or one of the other handy tools listed there, you can go directly to it without having to click through a bunch of nested menus in order to find it.
I recommend right-clicking on the Start button a few times so you can take a mental inventory of everything that’s available there. It just might end up saving you a lot of time in the future.
