Windows: The missing ‘No to All’
When you copy files to a folder, you may get a confirmation dialog asking you whether you wish to replace existing files. You have the option to say Yes, Yes to All and No.
How about ‘No to All‘? It’s missing, right?
You can get the No to all function by a simple trick:
Hold Shift and press No. This action is equal to “No to All”. Enjoy!
Stop annoying beeps in Windows
Windows sends out beeps at times when there are any problems with your PC.
Sometimes these may prove extremely annoying, and here’s how you can disable them:
1. Open the registry editor by going to Start >> Run and typing regedit.exe and hitting enter
2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelSound
3. Double click Beep
4. Change the value to No
That’s it. You’re now set free from those annoying beeps.
Disclaimer: Modifying the registry may harm your system. Make sure that you take a backup before you do so.
