Hide your screen from others

8/8/2018

If you work on your computer where other people can see sometimes you want to hide things quickly.  Or maybe you just want to take a break and don't want everything on your computer available to other people.  One thing you can do is to have your screen blank out after a certain time and require a password on waking it you but you don't want to have to wait for that to happen. Any time you want to lock your machine quickly you just hold down the Windows key and press the "L" This will immediately lock the computer till your password or pin code is put in.  While this will work for all  Windows based computers whether desktop or laptop, it won't work for Macs.  On a mac with an optical drive you can press control + shift + eject.  If it is a newer Apple computer you press command + control + shift.  As a special for clients in Kansas City, MO please comment on this post and I will give you 10% off your next service.

Wish you hadn't done that?

If you have ever done something on your computer but wished you hadn't there is s shortcut key that may help.  Just like in programs like Word or Excel where there is an undo button you can perform the same thing by holding down the Ctrl key and the Z.  In many cases this will undo the last action.  Unfortunately this doesn't work on everything but in cases like where you moved a file to the wrong location this will work great.
