Disable snapping in Windows 10 but keep other extended window management options
The Aero Snap feature which appeared in Windows 7, allows you to manage opened windows easily. It has a number of features, one of which, is the ability to dock an opened window to the screen edges. This behavior exists in Windows 10 and Windows 8 as well. Windows allows turning off Aero Snap completely via Ease of Access Center but offers no fine tuning over it. Turning off Aero Snap disables drag-to-top to maximize, drag-from-maximize to restore, drag-to-side-edges to snap and the vertical maximizing feature - it's an all or none switch. It is possible to keep all Aero Snap options on but only disable drag-to-side-edges to snap. In this article we will see how it can be done.

Speed up your Windows 10 by having fewer Desktop icons
There are a number of ways to speed up Windows so it performs optimally. One of the lesser known facts but which should be obvious to anyone and which I think should be made more clear to end users by Microsoft is that having many icons on the desktop slows down your logon and affect overall Explorer.exe performance. When the Windows operating system is starting, it might take a long time to load your user profile, showing the Welcome screen till then. Or after logging in, the performance might be sluggish. Did you know that slow logon can be caused by simply having too many desktop icons and shortcuts to apps on the desktop?

How to access This PC from Quick Access using the keyboard in Windows 10
Most of the times, I operate my PCs a lot with the keyboard. Whether it's Windows or Linux, I can do things faster with a keyboard. For example, I use Win+E to open Explorer. In Windows 10, Explorer has 2 home locations - This PC and Quick Access. The default is Quick Access. Although you can change the default, I find Quick Access useful as it contains recent files and frequent folders. But there are times when I need to access This PC quickly. I would like to share a fast method to open This PC using only the keyboard.

How to change your user account name in Windows 10
When you first install Windows 10, you either create a local user account or Microsoft account. For local accounts, you must specify a name whereas for Microsoft accounts, it takes the name from your online profile which you can manage by going to account.microsoft.com. Your user name also becomes your logon name. Also, a separate display name is generated based on the name you typed. Usually, your first name becomes the logon name and your full name is stored as the display name. You can easily change both - your display name as well as your logon name without creating a new user account. Let me show you how it's done.
