Windows 10: Lock on a Clear View

Having read heaps about the Lock screen these days; mostly that there is too much on it. Well, one can have a clear view of whatever image is chosen to be there. There are a couple of settings that do the trick. What I show here uses a photo... can use Spotlight or Slideshow, instead.The red outline at the top IS my Lock screen My dog. Notice nothing extra, no cards, all due to the settings below. Leave the box unchecked and instead of Weather and more, use None.Cheers,Drew

Clear Pagefile on Shutdown


I've been looking into clearing the pagefile, and I found the following steps at a somewhat dated webpage:

1. In the registry editor, navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
2. Set ClearPageFileAtShutdown to the REG_DWORD value of 1.
3. Restart Windows.

I'm just wondering whether those steps are still valid, and, if so, does clearing the pagefile work as advertised?

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

Lock the view for one folder

Hello

I have a folder on my Windows 10 Pro Desktop named Programs. It contains shortcuts to most of the applications I use on my computer.

In order to be able to view all the applications at a glance, I use the List view (View > Layout > List). This ensures all the shortcuts are visible within the folder window.

My issue is that the view keeps resetting to Details. This results in the list of application shortcuts extending beyond the bottom of the folder window - I need to scroll down to see the remainder of the shortcuts.

Sometimes List view will last for a few days or just a single day. I use my computer every single day and it is on all day when at home.

I have researched this several times over the last year or so but none of the conventional suggestions work. Setting the view from a template does not work - it keeps reverting to Details.

Has anyone managed to lock a folder view so that it retains the same view when opened?

Thank you.
