  1. Scale window content to window size on large monitor, using Windows 10?


    I just replace a pair of smaller monitors with a new, 31" Dell monitor. The new display is beautiful, but I miss the pair of separate monitors for one reason: I could open a window on each and the window content was scaled to that (smaller) size. On the new monitor, each window's content is scaled to the size of the monitor display and does not scale down as a window is made smaller. This means that working with two applications on the big screen, while viewing each in a separate window, I do not have full content in either one as I could do with the two smaller monitors. Is it possible to set the Windows 10 display so that content scales to the window size rather than the display size?

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
