Create Folders Without Any Name or Words

This trick will allow you to create files and folders without any name.

Just follow the following steps:


1. Select any file or folder.
2. Right click on it, press rename or simply press F2.
3. Press and hold the alt key. While holding the Alt key, type numbers 0160 from the numpad.
4. Press Enter and the nameless file or folder will be created.

Note: Type the numbers 0160 from the numpad, that is, the numbers present on the right side of the keyboard. Don't type the numbers which are present on top of the character keys

Windows 8 - Run 16-Bit App

Windows 8 has an inbuilt applet that can run any old 16-bit application. To enable, go to Control Panel > 16-Bit Application Support and Enable it.

Windows 8 - Hibernate or Sleep

Hibernate or Sleep aren’t available in Windows 8 by default. To restore them, launch the Power Options applet (powercfg.cpl) and click “Choose what the power buttons do” in the left-hand panel. If you see a “Change settings that are current unavailable” link, then click it. Check the Sleep and Hibernate options. Click Save Changes.

Windows 8 File History

Ooops! I threw away the wrong file.
File History, an inbuilt feature in Windows, offers a simple backup and restore process. Go to System and Security in the Control Panel, select File History and enable it (off by default in Windows 8). It necessitates a supplementary drive to work.
