Problems Steps Recorder (for windows)
We all have faced problems while trying to change some settings, or while doing some project. Next thing we do is pick up our mobile and call the tech boy (everyone have one tech boy whom they call whenever they face any tech problem) and he tries to explain us where we went wrong.
Not many of us know (rarely anyone know) that windows has a preinstalled software which allows us to record all our problems in a MHTMLfile which we can mail to that techboy, and this will prevent us (and him ) from all the mobile hassle.
Here are the steps to open this software
Step 1: Open run (window+ r)
Step 2: Type "psr".
Step 3: psr window will open.
Step 4: Click "Start Record" button.
Step 5: Do all the steps during which you were facing problems.
Step 6: Click "Stop Record".
Step 7: Save the zip file. This zip file will contain a document which will contain pictorial log of our problem.
Now here is a simple trick that used by me to shutdown the computer directly from the desktop.
In Windows 8, Microsoft decided to remove the start button and this made it very difficult for many users to shut down the computer. Here I'm giving a simple trick to do it very easily :
1. First right click the mouse button, select New and then Shortcut as seen in the pic below
2. A dialog box appears as shown in the pic below and copy paste this command shutdown /s /t 0 (last is zero) as shown below
3. Click Next and then give a name (by default it'll be "shutdown.exe") and give a name of your choice if needed and then click FINISH.
4. Hurray !!!
Now you have created a shutdown shortcut and double click the Icon and the computer will shutdown. Simple isn't it !!!
5. Now the Icon seems weird and we can change it by right clicking the shutdown icon we just created and select Properties as shown below
6. A dialog box may appear saying Select icons from the available and click OK.
In Properties select Change Icon as shown in fig (red rounded)
7. Another small dialog box appears and select any of the icon and click OK. I have selected the red rounded icon which is appropriate for Shutdown.
8. Now your Shutdown shortcut is ready and it looks good now !!
This is how the Icon appears.
Further more if you need to pin this shortcut to the Start Menu then right click the Shutdown Icon and select Pin to Start.
Finally you have shutdown shortcut both in the desktop and the start menu.
In start just CLICK on the shutdown tile and the computer will shutdown.
There are many softwares to restore Start Menu to Windows 8, but many of them will make your computer slow and thus this will be easy option for people who install those softwares to just shutdown the computer.
