    Paste text without formatting

    When referring to rich-text, like found on a web page, Word document, or e-mail, the formattingremains when it is copied then pasted elsewhere. For example, if you were to copy this paragraph of text, "This is bold" would remain bold when you paste it into any other document that supports rich-text. Anyone needs plain text pasting frequently may find having a universal shortcut key beneficial.

    Free Software

    We recommend the free tool PureText, which runs in the background and can paste plain text into any program using the same shortcut key your choosing (Windows key + V by default). PureText is capable of removing font faces, font styles (i.e. bold, italic, etc.), font colors, paragraph styles, extra spacing, tables, and pictures from any text you copy.

    Download PureText

    Windows Tip: 

    In most versions of Windows Ctrl+Windows Key + V also pastes text as plain text.

    How to make Windows programs open as full screen

    By default, Windows opens it's programs in a "Normal" window size, meaning its dimensions won't fill the entire screen. While users may easily maximize the window's size by clicking the middle icon in the upper right-hand corner, many don't like having to repeat the action every time they start a program. To force Windows to open a program in full-screen mode, proceed through the steps below.
    Note: The following steps only work for a Windows program shortcut. It will not work for a non-shortcut icon.
    1. Right-click on any Windows program shortcut and select Properties.
    2. In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab (as shown below).
    3. Locate the Run: section, and then click the down arrow on the right-hand side.
    4. In the drop-down menu that appears, choose Maximized.
    5. Click Apply, and then OK. The program should now open in a full window.

    Use the Windows Magnify to zoom in on parts of your screen.

    The Windows Magnifier is a great accessibility tool that allows you to zoom into any portion of your screen you find hard to read. This feature can be found in the Control Panel in the Ease of Access Center. It can also be quickly accessed by holding down the Windows key and pressing the + (plus) key to zoom in or - (minus) key to zoom out. When enabled the Magnifier box and the current magnification will be shown, as seen in the picture.

    Turn your monitor off using your keyboard

    Using the Monitor Off Utility is a quick and easy way to turn off your monitor when you step away from your computer. As can be seen in the below screenshot, this utility allows the user to setup any HotKey to turn off their monitor from anywhere in Windows. This utility also can have a shortcut key start a screen saver and lock the workstation as an extra form of security.
    Not only does this program help protect your computer it is the best way to save money on your power bill if your computer is on all day.

    Tip: 

    Although this utility is claiming to turn off the monitor, it is actually putting the monitor into Standby. Although Standby mode is similar to turning off your monitor, we'd still recommend that you turn off the monitor if you're going to be away from the computer for an extended period of time.

    Minimize all open windows in using Aero Peek

    Introduced in Windows 7, and available in, Windows 8, and Windows 10, Aero Peek allows you to peek at the Windows Desktop by moving your mouse pointer to the very bottom right corner of your screen and show the Desktop if clicked.
    If you have several windows open at one time, you can minimize them by using Aero Peek (Show Desktop) icon on the Windows Notification Area on your taskbar. The Show Desktop minimizes all open windows so you can access your Desktop.
    To re-open all previously minimized windows, click the 'Show Desktop' icon again and they will all reappear.
    Also, to view the Desktop without actually minimizing all screens, you can use Peek. Hover your mouse pointer over the 'Show Desktop' icon without clicking. This way, you can view your desktop momentarily without minimizing anything.

    Bonus Tip:

     You can also press the keyboard shortcut Windows Key + D to get to the Windows Desktop. After you're done viewing the desktop if you press the same keys again it will restore the windows to how they were when you originally pressed the keys.
