How to change 12 stupid Windows default settings

If you buy a new car, you will definitely adjust the seat, adjust the volume of the radio, adjust everything to the most comfortable state. Similarly, the Windows PC is the same, most of the default settings may not be user-friendly, if you can not endure, as a reference to the following 12 tips to replace these stupid default settings:

1. The return function of the backspace bar in the browser

First of all, by default, the use of a Web browser when the BACKSPACE key will return to the previous page, often because of the input focus to switch back error operation and lost the work, it is very annoying. Some browsers, such as Chrome or Firefox, can be changed by setting up or installing Plug-ins, but if you use IE or safari, you only have to be careful.

2. hide file name extension

Perhaps to prevent misoperation, file extensions are hidden by Microsoft in Windows, but this is inconvenient, especially if you have multiple PDFs or Word documents with the same files. Fortunately we can open the extension display in the Folder options in task management.

Annoying typing animation in 3.Office

Office annoying cursor animations obviously affect typing speed, and we don't need these extra experiences. Open the registry, and in Hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftoffice15.0common, add a "Cancel Animation" DWORD item, which values 1 to cancel the animation effect.

4. Browser Load Home

If you like the author, do not want to open the browser will automatically show a variety of boring search engines or portal home page, in the browser option to set the homepage as a blank page.

Lock screen interface of 5.Windows 8 system

If your time is as precious as gold, then Windows 8 's lock-screen interface must be annoying, especially for non-touchscreen PCs. So, open the registry, create a lock-screen item in the Hkey_local_machinesoftwarepoliciesmicrosoftwindowspersonalization project, and set the value to 1.

6. Annoying user Account Control warning

This feature comes from Microsoft's most failed Vista system, but continues in Windows 7 and 8, and basically you do a little bit of the system and it jumps out and bothers you. Although thanks to Microsoft's caution, obviously we are not preschool children, so shut it down in Windows control Center.

7.Windows Error Reporting

The same annoying little pop-up window will pop up and harass you when the program crashes. Even if you submit a report, Microsoft will not solve it for you, so the error reporting option is turned off in the control center.

8.Windows Automatic reboot

When you install the Wndows update, the system will ask you to reboot, if you choose to postpone 10 minutes or longer, it will be in time to automatically restart the computer, quite overbearing. Then, in Windows 7 or 8, we can turn this feature off by entering the registry hkey_local_machine/software/policies/microsoft/windows and adding a key value of not automatically restarting to 1.

9. Priority of Network Connections

Windows systems automatically prioritize network connections, such as if you think the WiFi signal is weak and instead use a wired network, it will still be a priority when searching for WiFi signals, which is not smart. To change this situation, you need to adjust the priority of the connection in the advanced settings of your network settings, such as you want to use the wired network as a priority, and move it to the top.

10. Taskbar Auto Merge Hide

If you open multiple pages of the same application, such as 10 Word documents, the default display of the Windows taskbar is to track a group of them, placing the mouse in this group to view the preview, which is cumbersome. To change it to a full display, you need to right-click the taskbar Selection property, and change the taskbar button to "merge when full" or "never merge."

11.Word Auto-Conversion punctuation

While this is a smarter feature in a Word program, if you use it to edit an HTML file, you will get an error, so in the file options, click the "Proofing" section and turn off the AutoFormat in the AutoCorrect options, and the experience will be better.

Protected View features for 12.Word

If you receive a document from a small partner and want to change something but find that a protected view reminder pops up, you can go to the option, select Protected View in the Trust Center, and cancel all three options to turn off this feature.
