Windows Explorer in
Windows 8 features a Quick Access toolbar immediately above the menu,
providing easy access to options such as 'New Folder', 'Minimise',
'Undo' and more.
This is customisable, too - click the arrow to
the right of the default buttons, in the Explorer window caption bar,
and choose whatever options you need. And you can include add any other
ribbon option on the Quick Access Toolbar by right-clicking it and
selecting Add to Quick Access Toolbar.
49. Try the advanced menu options
If
you need to run the command prompt as an Administrator then your
instant reaction will probably be to reach for the Start menu. Before
becoming annoyed a microsecond later when you remember it's no longer
there.
It's good to see that Microsoft has provided a simple
alternative, then - just click the File menu in Explorer and click Open
command prompt > Open command prompt as administrator.
And
while you're there, make note of the other advanced new options also on
that menu: you can open a new window in a new process, open Explorer,
and even delete your Recent Places and Address Bar histories with a
click.
50. Show all folders
The
default Windows 8 Explorer view doesn't show all the usual drives and
folders - Control Panel, Recycle Bin and so on - in the left-hand
navigation pane. It certainly keeps the display simple, and if you want
to see all your drives then you can just click Computer, but if you
prefer to see everything upfront then it only takes a moment. Click View
> Options, check 'Show all folders' and click OK.
51. Mount ISO files in Windows 8
Need
to take a closer look at an ISO file? Right-click it in Explorer, click
Mount and you can view it as a virtual drive, launch the files it
contains, or add more if you like.
52. Open new file types
If
you find a file type that none of your applications can handle, then
right-click on the file in Windows Explorer and choose Open With. You'll
see a 'Look for an app in the Store' option, which enables Windows 8 to
use an automated search tool to find and highlight an app for you.
You can also click 'More Options' to see currently installed programs and apps that may be able to open the file.
53. Restart Explorer
If
Explorer locks up for some reason, then regaining control is now very
easy. No need to close the process any more: simply press Ctrl+Alt+Esc,
select Explorer in the list, click Restart and Windows 8 will handle the
rest.
The safest way to sample
Windows 8 is to install it on a VirtualBox virtual machine. It's fairly
easy to set up, there's no need to worry about partitioning or other
issues, and if it doesn't work for whatever reason (which is possible,
it's a beta after all) then you'll have lost nothing but a little time.
After
completing your installation, though, you might find your virtual
Windows 8 complaining that "Your PC needs to be repaired". But despite
telling you to "Press Enter to try again", or "Press F8 for alternate
boot options", neither option works.
Fortunately there's an easy
answer. Close the Windows 8 window, select your virtual machine in
VirtualBox, click Settings > System > Processor and check the
'Enable PAE/NX' box. Click OK, restart your virtual machine and this
time it should launch properly.
55. Fix it if Windows 8 apps won't launch
If
you click a Windows 8 app, and nothing else happens, display issues are
often the cause. In particular, Windows 8 apps don't currently support
screen resolutions lower than 1024 x 768 (or 1366 x 768 when snapping),
so increase your resolution if possible (launch the desktop,
right-click, select Screen Resolution).
Or if that's no help, try updating your video drivers.
56. Solve Store problems
Installing
or updating Windows 8 apps normally takes only a moment, but if your PC
just can't do either any more then there are several potential causes.
A
corrupted Store cache is one of the more likely candidates, for
instance, but fortunately Microsoft has provided a tool to help. Press
Win+R, type wsreset and press Enter, and the Store cache will be cleaned
for you.
If Windows Update is broken or disabled then you'll also
have app problems. Launch the Control Panel Troubleshooting applet
(press Win+W, type trouble, and click "Troubleshooting") and click "Fix
problems with Windows update" to detect and resolve any issues.
And if these don't help then it's time to try the official Store troubleshooter.
57. Fix performance problems
If
your Windows 8 system seems sluggish, the revamped Task Manager may be
able to offer some clues. Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to take a look.
Click
'More Details'. The simplified Processes tab then reveals what's
currently using your CPU time, RAM, hard drive and network bandwidth.
(The more in-depth data available in previous Task Manager versions is
now accessible via the Details tab.)
The Performance tab gives you
a graphical view of resource use over the last few seconds, while the
App History dialog looks back over days or more to reveal which app is
the most resource-hungry.
And is your boot time slow? Click the
new Startup tab to see programs your system is launching when Windows
boots. The 'Startup impact' now shows how much of an effect each of
these has on your boot time; if you spot high impact programs you're
sure you don't need, then right-clicking them and selecting 'Disable'
will ensure they're not loaded next time.
Powerful though all this
is, if you can think of a reason to use the old Task Manager then it's
still accessible. Hold down the Windows key, press R, type TaskMGR and
press Enter to launch it. (Typing TM will launch the new version.)
58. Diagnose with Device Manager events
If
you've got a driver or hardware-related problem with Windows 8, launch
Device Manager, browse to the relevant device, right-click it, select
Properties and click the new Events tab. If Windows has installed
drivers, related services or carried out other important actions on this
device then you'll now see them here, which is very useful when
troubleshooting.
59. Speed up chkdsk
If you suspect your
Windows 8 system may have a corrupted hard drive, then you might be
tempted to use the old chkdsk /f command. This does still work, but it's
horribly slow, and won't do anything at all until you reboot. What's
more, it may no longer be necessary now.
Windows 8 now regularly
runs chkdsk in the background, looking for problems, and recording them.
And then, when run at boot time, it doesn't have to scan every single
sector of your hard drive. It just fixes the known problems, usually in a
few seconds.
The first lesson here is that you probably won't have to use chkdsk any more.
But
if you want to try it anyway, don't use chkdsk /f first. Enter chkdsk
/spotfix instead, agree to run a check when you next reboot, then
restart your PC and any fixes will be applied, much more quickly.
While
this works most of the time, there are no guarantees. If you're out of
other options then you can still try chkdsk /f later.
60. Recover your system
Windows
8 has performed well for us, but if you find it won't boot at some
point then you now have to press Shift+F8 during the launch process to
access its recovery tools.
Access the Troubleshoot menu, then
Advanced Options, and you'll be able to try the Automatic Repair tool,
which may fix your problems. No luck? The same menu enables you to use
the last System Restore point, tweak key Windows Startup settings, and
even open a command prompt if you'd like to troubleshoot your system
manually.
If that all seems like too much hassle then the
Troubleshoot menu's option to 'Refresh your PC' may be preferable,
because it essentially reinstalls Windows 8 but keeps your files, and
will fix many issues.
But if it doesn't then there's always the
more drastic 'Reset your PC' option, which removes all your files and
installs a fresh new copy of Windows 8.
You don't have to access
these features from the boot menu, of course. If Windows 8 starts but
seems very unstable, then open the new Recovery applet in Control Panel
for easy access to the Refresh, Reset and other disaster recovery
features.

Facebook Inc. (FB) is unveiling tools for its Instagram service that will let users embed photos and videos on outside websites, including blogs and news providers, seeking to spread its influence and woo more consumers. The new feature requires a few clicks of a mouse to place a video or photoon a Web page, Facebook said in a blog posttoday. The tool, designed to maintain privacy settings, is only available for content that’s already public, the Menlo Park, California-based company said. The owner of the world’s most popular social-networking service is rolling out new features for its Instagramunit to help expand its reach on mobile devices where users are increasingly shifting their activity. Facebook, competing against services from Twitter Inc. and others, announced last month it was adding video to its photo-sharing service. “As always, you own your photos andvideos, and we want to make sure that’s understood no matter where your content appears,” the company said. “Whether you want to embed your video on your blog or a friend wants to feature your photo on a website, everyone will clearly see thatyour content belongs to you.” Instagram, which Facebook bought last year for more than $700 million, has more than 130 million monthly users. More than 16 billion photos have been shared on the service.
