General Pc Tips : -
- Adjust any setting on your PC with the Windows “God Mode” folder, which is a centralized Control Panel for all the OS settings. Access this by creating a new folder named: God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}.

1. Window snapping and Multiple Monitor Control : -
Pressing the Windows Key + Arrow Keys will cause a window to quickly snap to each side of either monitor. Alternatively, hitting Shift + Windows Key + Arrows will cause the window to jump to the other monitor. While pressing Windows + P will allow you to quickly set up a second display or projector.
As mentioned before, in macOS we favor leveraging the power of Mission Control to handle virtual desktops, switching between apps, and peaking at your desktop beautifully. Though Macs don't support window snapping out of the box, a $0.99 app called Magnet comes highly recommended.
2. Undo Everywhere to fix those little : -
Did you know you can undo almost any action? Ctrl + Z is the ultimate hot key, and for sure you knew about it already, however note that undo doesn't just apply to typing. If you accidentally delete or move a file, you can hit Ctrl + Z to bring it right back to where it was (Ctrl + Y will redo whatever you undid).
3. YouTube Keyboard shortcut : -
If you thought using the spacebar to pause a YouTube video was effective (except when focus is elsewhere and it doesn't work), instead try using K for pausing, while J and L will step backward/forward 10 seconds. M works for mute. Super handy.
4. Password - Protect files : -
