Five tips for upgrading Windows XP are worth it

Computers have become a necessity for people's daily life, work and study, so people are increasingly unable to do without it. For novices, how can you make your computer more comfortable to use and make your computer more in line with your own habits? Let's take a look at the following tips:

1. Automatically record the file opening time in Notepad

In Notepad, we can record the time each time a text file is opened, by entering ".LOG" on the first line of the file (note: it must be capitalized!), and then a new line starts the text. This will automatically add the current time after the file is closed after each time the file is opened.

2. Quickly browse offline web pages

You need to browse an open web page offline. The traditional way is to find and open the web page one by one in the order of opening online. The faster way is to add this web page to your favorites and browse this web page from your favorites offline.

In fact, creating a shortcut for this web page is the fastest way. In the address bar of the browser, there is a small icon in front of the URL of the open web page. Press and hold the small icon with the mouse and drag it to the desktop. Next time you can quickly browse the web page offline on the desktop.

3. Send a quick email

Right-click the Start menu, select Open, right-click the window that opens, select New---"Shortcut", and then enter "mailto:" in the "Please type the location of the project" box, click "Next", enter a name in the "Type the name of the shortcut" box, and click "Finish". You can create a new email later by simply clicking this shortcut.

If you often email a friend, you can create a shortcut specifically for this friend. The method is similar to what is mentioned above. For example, your friend's email address isabc@Then you just need to enter "mailto:abc@" in the "Please enter the location of the project" box, and the rest will not change.

4. Place your favorite program near the top of the Start menu

Do you love and use a program very much? Then, it should be increased prioritized in the Start menu by placing it at the top of the list. This method ensures that the program remains in the Start menu and is not disturbed by other programs, even if other programs have a higher frequency of use. Right-click the link to your favorite program on the Start menu and select "Attached to Start Menu" in the shortcut menu that appears. Your program will be permanently moved to the top of the list, just below the browser and email program.

5. Add ringing for Capslock

If you accidentally press Capslock when entering Chinese, it will become capitalized in English. You will feel much more relieved if you add a "ring" to this key. The method is: open the "Assisted Options" of "Control Panel", and in the "Keyboard" item, select "Use toggle keys".
