Before we introduce the hidden features and settings of Windows Explorer, let me explain the following shortcuts to help us quickly open the Explorer and use its functions:
Windows + E Open Resource Manager
Alt + ↑ Back to upper folder
Alt + P Switch preview pane
F2 Rename selected file or folder
Shift + Del Do not move to the recycle bin to kill the selected file directly Or folder
Ok, let's get back to the topic and start introducing the little-known features of Windows Explorer.
Directly open ISO image files
Starting with Windows 8, we will no longer need third-party software such as UltraISO or PowerISO to open the .iso image file directly. Windows 8 already provides native support for ISO image files.
Using the address bar to move files
If you usually need to copy-paste or cut-paste the contents of a subfolder into the parent folder, we can drag it directly to the parent folder name of the address bar. You can go back and forth without having to switch back and forth between the parent and child folders. By default, dragging is to move the folder, if you only want to copy it, hold down the Ctrl key.
Displaying the path in the title bar
In Linux we use pwd to view the current working directory, and Windows Explorer can also directly display the current working path. We just need to check the —options— view tab in the Explorer — check the full path in the title bar.
Select & rdquo; when sent to the “ option, you can display more shortcuts for us to choose.
The above method believes that many friends know that we can also customize the "send to" location, just add the required path in the folder opened after executing shell:sendto in the resource manager address bar. A shortcut is fine.
Displaying a network map
In Windows 7, users can view the network address of the current network computer in the network and sharing center, and also display the IP address and MAC address of the computer or network device, which is for us. The mistake is still very useful.
But after Windows 7, the network map function was cut off by Microsoft, but this is no problem, we can still get similar network information in the new version of Windows:
Click the network icon &mdash on the left side of Windows Explorer In the View tab, select Details & mdash; click the Arrangement drop-down list — click the Select column to select the relevant network information as needed.
How do you select multiple files at the same time in Windows? Select files
Press and hold Ctrl to single-select multiple files
Shift-click to select continuous files
, Windows can open the file check box function, so we can use the mouse to check Choose multiple files. To enable this feature, we only need to select &mdash in the Explorer's View —Options—View tab; check the Use checkbox to select an item.
The example after opening this function is as follows:
Customize the shortcut toolbar
The function area of Windows has a lot of functions, if we often switch between different tabs It is cumbersome to go to the ribbon to select frequently used function commands. You can find your favorite functions in the ribbon, right click and select Add to the Quick Access Toolbar.
