HOW TO CHECK AND UPDATE THE CHROME BROWSER?

Good evening friends!

Updates are important for any kind of software. The GOOGLE CHROME browser is no exception. In fact, it is very important to use an up-to-date browser always. I think most of you know the updating process of your Chrome browser. However, there are also some beginners, who still needs this post.  So, let me share about it here.

• Open the Google Chrome browser.

• In the top-right corner of the browser window [near the right side of the URL textbox], there will be a CUSTOMIZE AND CONTROL GOOGLE CHROME menu icon as shown below. Click that icon.

• Now a menu list appears. From that, click SETTINGS option.

• Now a new tab opens with the browser settings. In the left side, click on the ABOUT option [under CHROME].

• Now, the browser will automatically check for updates and displays the result. If you are getting an error message "UPDATES ARE DISABLED BY THE ADMINISTRATOR", fix that error.

1. If your browser is up-to-date, it will displays "GOOGLE CHROME IS UP TO DATE".
2. If an update is available, it will download and install the new update [it will take several minutes depending upon the speed of your PC and internet connection] and displays "NEARLY UP-TO-DATE! RELAUNCH GOOGLE CHROME TO FINISH UPDATING".

• Below that message, a RELAUNCH button will be there. Click that button. The browser will automatically restart.

That's all. Now you have updated your Chrome browser to the latest version. You can see the current version there.

Just try it now [it's advised to close all oter tabs in your browser, while doing these].

Thanking You!

HOW TO SELECT MULTIPLE FILES AT ONCE IN WINDOWS PC?

• Select the first file.

• Now PRESS AND HOLD the Ctrl key [i.e., the CONTROL KEY] in your keyboard.

• Now holding the Control key, select as much files as you need.

That's all you had to do. Now all those files will be selected. Just give it a try.

HOW TO DELETE FILES WITHOUT SENDING IT INTO THE RECYCLE BIN?

Hai friends! Good evening! Really a cloudy day!

Everybody know that the Windows Operating System of Microsoft is the top computer operating system in the world today. Today, we all deal many files in Windows. As a safety feature, Microsoft's Windows Operating System sends the deleted files into the Recycle Bin in order to prevent accidental deletion of important files. Afterwards, you have to Empty Recycle Bin. Sometimes, this will be irritating. Isn't it!?

RECYCLE BIN

But the OS (Operating System) also enables you to disable this feature and delete the files permanently. Today I am going to blog about that. Well! There are two methods. Among these two, I personally recommend the second method.

METHOD 1 (unsafe) :

• In the DESKTOP, single click the RECYCLE BIN to select it.

• Then RIGHT-CLICK the Recycle Bin. [Now, a pop-up menu appears with a list of options]

RIGHT-CLICK

RECYCLE BIN OPTIONS

• In the displayed pop-up menu, click PROPERTIES. [Now the Recycle Bin Properties window opens]

RECYCLE BIN PROPERTIES

• Inside that, there will be a RADIO BUTTON (Don't move files to Recycle Bin. Remove files immediately when deleted.)

• Click that radio button to enable that option.

• Click the APPLY button.

• Now click the OK button. [After this, while deleting a file, it will not be send to the Recycle Bin. It will be permanently deleted.]

METHOD 2 (safe):

• Click the file which you want to delete. [You can also select multiple files at once]

• RIGHT-CLICK the file(s). [The pop-up menu appears]

RIGHT-CLICK

• Now holding the SHIFT KEY on your keyboard, click DELETE.

SHIFT KEY

DELETE OPTION

• You can also hold the SHIFT KEY and press the DELETE KEY on the keyboard itself.[After this, the particular file(s) only are deleted permanently]

DELETE KEY

I personally recommend the second method to avoid any accidental deletion. Okay friends! Try it on your own.

Thanking You!

HOW TO FIND THE MEANING OF A WORD?

Hello! Good evening friends!

In my olden days, dictionary was the main source of my knowledge. Now also I could say that the illustrated Oxford dictionary was the basic of my knowledge. I used those photographs to imagine "how the four strokes of the engine works?", "how the radar system works?", etc. On that days, there was no internet access for me.

Now, I have internet access and everybody could see that Oxford dictionary with dust, in the cupboard. Poor dictionary. Okay! Now I am going to share with you, "how I use Google to find the exact meaning of a word, along with its translations?"

The procedure is very very simple with the powerful search engine, Google!

1. Open your web browser.

1. Type "https://google.com" in the address bar.

1. In the search box, type "define:<the word to be searched>". [For example, to search the meaning of the word google, type define:google].

1. Now press the "Google Search" button.

1. Now, at the top of the search results page, there will be a box with the following details of the word.

• pronunciation [along with voice]

• meanings [usage as noun, verb, etc]

• origin

• translation to various languages

• use over time [in the form of a graph]

So simple! Isn't it!? 

Then what are you waiting for? Give a try!

Thanking You!

HOW TO CREATE A STRONG PASSWORD?

Hello friends! A little sunny day today!

SAFETY AND PRIVACY are the main expectations towards any website. Currently, passwords are primarily the key feature to preserve them.

Everyone of us is using so many passwords today. Right? For us, it looks like a safe one. But always remember hackers may try to mess with you at any time. So, be sure to create a strong password and change it at least once in three months.

Okay! Shall we discuss some basic tips on how to create and maintain a strong and secure password!?

Below are some tips from me.

• Never ever use short passwords. Make it a little long{for that, don't create a paragraph}. I recommend a "MINIMUM 12 CHARACTER" password.

• Avoid using regular words.

• Make sure that your password does not contain any of your personal information{like names, date of births, places, pets' name, favorite items, etc}.

• Mix upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols.

• Change your passwords periodically.

• Do not share your email id or phone number with strangers.

• Try to avoid using password protected accounts in public internet points or in others' devices{friends' mobile, relatives' PC, etc}. Technology has grown and there are a lot of spy software.

• In case if you entered your password in any other devices, change your password as soon as you access your own device.

• Always be sure to log out all your accounts.

• Try to avoid checking the tick mark in the "KEEP ME SIGNED IN" check box.

• If available, activate the notification for unrecognized login to your accounts.

• Clear the browsing data{particularly cookies} from your web browser after handling any accounts.

• Do not use any common dialogues.

• Do not write your password anywhere for remembering. Just use your memory power only.

• Avoid using same passwords for all accounts. This is because if one of your account is hacked, then others also can be hacked.

• Even if it is your life partner, I recommend not to share your passwords with her/him[your choice]. Because, tomorrow will not be the same as today or yesterday.

The above are only basic tips from me. You must always be alert while handling passwords.

That's all! Be safe!

Thanking You!

HOW TO MAINTAIN A SMARTPHONE'S DISPLAY?

Hello friends! Good morning!

Most of you are using smartphones. Right? As we all know, the display is the most important part in such phones [in fact all the phones].
Is your touchscreen very dirty!? Maybe! not only you. Everybody's phone is that like only.

Your screen is primarily getting dirty due to those fingerprints, which is mainly due to crazy gaming. also, there will be some scratches due to minute dust present in the fingertips. All the newly bought products are well maintained at first. but later, when we get bored, the entire appearance of the product will be changed. So, can we discuss about how to maintain your touchscreen.

• The first step is ALWAYS BE AWARE ABOUT YOUR TOUCHSCREEN.

• Always protect your phone with a proper and good quality screen-guard.

• Be sure to clean your hand, particularly your fingers before touching the screen. This is because there will be minute dust particles in your hands, which when rubbed against the screen may cause scratches.

• Clean your screen-guard periodically.

• Also, daily clean your screen with proper microfiber cloth. Use distilled water or any other recommended cleaning agents.

• Don't press too hard on the screen. Always consider your screen as an egg shell.

• Don't directly spray any liquids on the screen to prevent any leakages. Just spray it on the cloth and gently clean the screen.

• Avoid tissue papers and ordinary papers since they contain wood fibers, which may cause scratches on the screen.

• Always remember that OUR PHONES ARE SWITCHED ALWAYS SWITCHED "ON" [24 X 7 HOURS IN A WEEK]. So, please give periodic rests. At least turn if "OFF" when you are sleeping. Thereby you give it a chance to cool down and restart.

• Give a PAUSE and a rest of at least five minutes to your game once in half an hour. This will protect your eyes and your phone's screen.

Touchscreens are like your eyes. Protect them. Then it will show you an amazing display.
