For most of us, Windows has become so familiar and the familiar that has become a trusted old friend. We are well aware of his dignity, we have learned to put up with its shortcomings and know exactly what to expect in a given situation from him. However, there is at this fellow a number of habits that annoy us just continue every day. In this article you will learn how to easily and quickly get rid of some annoying to users of Windows functions literally five minutes.
Confirm delete
Every time you delete files Windows asks us as little children, "Do you really want to delete this file? No, you do exactly that? Maybe it's just a joke? ". If you are tired to convince each time the system of the seriousness of their intentions, then turn off the confirmation dialog in the settings of the basket.
Caps Lock
Does anyone actually use Caps Lock for its intended purpose? In my opinion, most often we press this button accidentally. As a result, changes the case of letters and we have to retype text again.
Fortunately, you can disable the Caps Lock key on Windows, simply by changing the settings in the system registry. download file disable_caps_lock.reg from this page (By the way, note that it has a number of uses for this ill-fated button), double-click on it and you disable the Caps Lock key at all.
Click once to select the application window
Windows 7 in the selection of several windows of the same application, for example, if you run multiple copies of the Explorer, First Click shows us the first previews of windows, and then the second click allows to activate the desired window.
You can speed up the process so as to make a single click on the application icon in the taskbar to restore the last active window. The following clicks will be cycling through the window in order to use them.
It will also need to make changes to the system registry. Open the Start menu, type in the search bar regedit and then start Registry Editor. Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ Advanced
Right-click in the right pane and create a new value DWORD, name it LastActiveClick. Double-click LastActiveClick parameter and change its value to 1. You will have to log out and log in again after the operation.
Sound scheme
Windows creators have tried to make the most pleasant signals that accompany the system. However, people have different tastes and if the proposed sound scheme you initially do not like, or just tired, you can disable it at all, or change to another.
Right-click the speaker icon in the system tray and select sounds. In the window that appears, set the Without sound, if you love silence, or to change the scheme to a nice to your ear.
Warnings from the Support Center
white flag warning center in the system tray - it's a hell of a notion of Microsoft, which is constantly scares users by their menacing messages. If you feel his presence and behavior is too intrusive, then go on the road Control Panel \ All Control Panel Items \ Action Center \ Settings Support Center and teach him how to behave. Remove the types of notifications you want to receive.
Sticky keys
This feature is quite useful for people with disabilities, but did not need most of the other users. She turned on by pressing the five-time Shift and is accompanied by a confirmation dialog box, which is especially annoying if it happens during a computer game, which is not uncommon.
To turn off this habit, go to the link in the pop-up window and uncheck Include Sticky Keys when pressing Shift five times.
Extra items in the context menu
Many of our established programs like to add your items to right click without even asking our consent menu. Moreover, some of them forget to clean up your items after their removal. If you irritate the traces of these programs from the context menu, you can clean them out with the help of the registry. But it is much easier to use the program CCleaner, which can not only that, but also is a versatile tool for the maintenance of your computer.
Run the program, go to Service and the tab Context menu turn off unnecessary items for you.
