This tutorial will show you how to change the order of folders in the File Explorer Gallery collection drop menu for your account in Windows 11.
Starting with Windows 11 version 22H2 KB5030310 Build 22621.2361, Microsoft is introducing Gallery, a new feature in File Explorer designed to make it easy to access your photo collection. The content in Gallery is the same as what you see in the All Photos view in the Photos app. Your most recently taken photos appear at the top of Gallery. This includes photos from your phone if you have OneDrive Camera Roll Backup set up.
Your Gallery collection is shared between Gallery in File Explorer, Pictures library, and the Photos app.
You can manage your Gallery by adding or removing folders from...
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable all tasks history in Task Scheduler in Windows 10 and Window 11.
The Task Scheduler service allows you to perform automated tasks on a chosen computer. With this service, you can schedule any program to run at a convenient time for you or when a specific event occurs. The Task Scheduler monitors the time or event criteria that you choose and then executes the task when those criteria are met.
Task Scheduler will show you the "Last Run Time" for tasks, but tasks history is disabled by default.
If needed, you can enable all tasks history to start seeing in Task Scheduler, and log in Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) at the location below:

This tutorial will show you how to ZIP files in Windows 11.
Zipped (compressed) files take up less storage space and can be transferred to other computers more quickly than uncompressed files. In Windows, you work with zipped files and folders in the same way that you work with uncompressed files and folders. Combine several files into a single zipped folder to more easily share a group of files.
Starting with Windows 11 build 22631.3810, you can now compress files and folders to a ZIP, 7z, or TAR file.
Starting with Windows 11 version Build 26040 (Canary), build 26052.1100 (Dev), build 22635.3640 (Beta), and build 26100.712 (RP), Microsoft is adding a new compression wizard that lets you choose even more formats and specify even...
This tutorial will show you different ways to empty the Recycle Bin for specific or all drives for your account or all users in Windows 11.
The Recycle Bin provides a safety net when deleting files or folders. When you delete any of these items from a drive, Windows places it in the Recycle Bin and the Recycle Bin icon changes from empty to full.
If you have multiple hard drives, partitions, or an external hard drive connected to your PC, each drive will have its own hidden $Recycle.Bin system folder and Recycle Bin settings.
Removable drives, such as USB flash drives and memory cards, do not have a Recycle Bin by default. Files deleted from removable drives are permanently deleted since they do not go to the Recycle Bin. You can...
