Useful tricks for Windows 10: copy/ paste with history

We all know the Copy and Paste commands. They were invented way back in 1973 by Larry Tesler, who recently passed away.

E' possibile conservare la cronologia degli appunti copiati, per incollare non solo l'ultimo oggetto, immagine o testo copiato, ma anche i precedenti.

First you need to activate the function Clipboard history, which is located in the settings (Settings, System, Clipboard). From the same settings you can also clear the clipboard data history.

After activating the function Clipboard history of Windows 10, you can use it by pressing Windows + V, instead of Ctrl + V. A window opens that lets you choose which clipboard to paste. From the same window, you can also selectively delete the clipboard that is no longer useful by clicking on the icons with the three dots. Finally, you can clear all the clipboard history by clicking on one of the icons with the three dots and then on Erase everything.

Four ways to show the desktop

Another of the useful tricks for Windows 10 allows you to show the desktop. The desktop can be shown in at least four ways. The easiest is to press the key combination Windows + D. By pressing the same key combination again, the windows, which have been minimized, are restored.

The second method is to press Windows + M: All windows are minimized. To restore them, you need to act on every single minimized window.

The third method is to press the right mouse button on the taskbar, then click on the command Show desktop.

We all know the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Z ci salva la vita in molti casi! Consente infatti di annullare l'ultimo comando oppure l'ultimo testo digitato.

Caricare un programma automaticamente all'avvio di Windows

Sometimes, it can be convenient to make sure that some programs or applications partano automaticamente all'avvio di Windows. Per fare ciò, in maniera semplice, è sufficiente incollare un collegamento dell'app, che si vuole far partire automaticamente, in shell:startup (esecuzione automatica).

From the file explorer location bar, type:

shell:startup

Nella cartella che si apre, è possibile incollare i collegamenti delle applicazioni che si desidera avviare all'avvio di Windows.

2. Rename the newly created folder to the following name:
