It's the little things in life that can build up stress levels, so why not brew a cuppa, sit back and read our Top 10 Tech Tips to lighten your load.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 \u2013 Accidents Happen<\/strong><br \/>\nAccidentally deleted a file? Moved it into the wrong folder? No problem, Ctrl+Z is your \u201cUndo\u201d tool for so much more than just Word. And if you realise it wasn\u2019t a mistake, simply select Ctrl+Y to redo. If this is not working, restore from recycle bin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 \u2013 Closed Browser Tabs<\/strong><br \/>\nBeen a bit over clicky closing all your tabs when browsing the web? Bring back a closed tab with Ctrl+Shift+T (or Cmd+Shift+T for you Mac users).<\/p>\n<p><strong>3 \u2013 Loooooong Web Pages<\/strong><br \/>\nBored wasting your time scrolling down long webpages to find what you are after? Pressing the spacebar or PageUp\/PageDown will speed this up for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 \u2013 Switching Between Programs<\/strong><br \/>\nNeed to switch through your open windows easily? Alt+Tab is your new best friend. Newer versions of Windows can also use Windows Key+Tab or the Task View button<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 \u2013 Quickly Minimise Everything\/View Desktop<\/strong><br \/>\nTea break time and not a moment to waste? Windows Key+D minimises all your tabs back to the desktop, saving you precious seconds for an extra biscuit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6 \u2013 Excel Tips<\/strong><br \/>\nInputting on excel becoming a chore? How about using F4 to repeat the last command over and over and over. If you\u2019re looking to repeat data or a formula, use the tiny square in the bottom right corner of the cell and drag down or across.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7 \u2013 Power Surge<\/strong><br \/>\nInvesting a little in a Surge Protector, could save you \u00a3hundreds in instances of blackouts, burnouts and surges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8 \u2013 Backup Work<\/strong><br \/>\nSuper important project that just simply must not be lost? Backup to a cloud service or external HDD for that added security.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9 \u2013 Taking Forever To Turn On?<\/strong><br \/>\nPulling your hair out every morning waiting for your PC to boot? Cut down on the programmes that run in start-up (\u2026but take care, some may be essential). Or invest in an SSD to boot Windows (and your favourite programs if there is space!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>10 - Updates<\/strong><br \/>\nWant to keep in tip-top PC health and secured from the latest threats? Allow time for updates to run fully and uninterrupted. Remember patch Tuesday!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Humber IT are always happy to share tech tips with you, but why not give us a ring or email us and let's see how else we can help you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">01482 53 44 54        info@humber-it.co.uk<\/h2>\n<h5>We specialise in supporting businesses with their IT needs.
