How To Access Your Folders From Your Taskbar

This is an easy way to get to the folders on your system without having to open a Windows Explorer Window every time you want to access files. I find it very useful to have this feature as it allows me to access my Folders and Drives immediately and saves me a lot of time.

This works in Windows XP and WINDOWS 7:

1. Right Click an empty spot on your Taskbar (Between your Start Button and your System Tray).
2. Click Toolbars.
3. Click New Toolbar.
4. A Small Window will Open that allows you to pick the folder you wish to make a Toolbar. If you want to access your Desktop Without having to minimize all your windows.

keyboard shortcuts for Windows 8

How do you control a tile-based user interface with
a keyboard?
Simple – use the arrow keys! While it isn’t ideal, if
you’re stuck using just a keyboard with Windows 8,
you can find your way through the various apps –
and importantly, to the Desktop – using the arrow
keys, Page Up/Page Down and the Enter key. You’ll
know which Start screen apps are selected thanks
to the white border.
Naturally, you can use the keyboard and tab key to
find your way through forms, while typing a search
term from the Start screen will automatically open
the Search tool.
The key to fast navigation through Windows 8 using
a keyboard and mouse is the Windows key – you’ll
find that you rely on this quite often.
As with previous versions of the operating system, there are various keyboard combinations that can be used as
shortcuts in Windows 8.
Note that these keyboard combinations will not work using the on-screen keyboard.
• Win – toggles between Start screen and (classic) Windows desktop
• Win + B – Switch to the (classic) Windows desktop, select the tray notification area
• Win + C – Display Charm Bar
• Win + D – Open classic Windows desktop
