EDGE tips
Cherlynn Low, LAPTOP Staff Writer
laptopmag.com | Who has time to type in a URL or a
set of URLs just to have their frequently visited websites open whenever they
start their browser? No one. And even if some browsers display your favorite
sites on the start page, nothing beats having your destinations ready for you
when you start your browser. With Microsoft's new Edge browser for Windows 10,
not only can you set your homepage so your favorite site is waiting for you
when you launch the program, you can also specify as many other Web pages to
open as you want. Here's how to set it up.
1. Open Edge.
2. Tap the three-dot menu button on the top right.
3. Select Settings.
4. Check the box for A Specific Page Or Pages under the
Open With section. A drop down menu will appear. Enter the page or pages you
want Edge to Open when you click on IE. You can either copy and paste that text
into this area, or type it out.
Using EDGE Pin a website “ To Start “
If you want to pin a web address to your start menu, just
click the icon ( pin cushion labeled Pin To Start ) . It pins your
website to your Start tiles. Now you only need to click that tile to jump into
that website. No need to open a browser program.

What is the meaning of Quick Access in Windows 10?
Windows 10 replaced Favorites from previous Windows with
Quick access. The Quick access page is the shortest route to files you've been
working on and folders you often use. These are your frequent folders and
recent files.
In Windows 10, File Explorer opens to Quick access by default which shows your Frequent folders and Recent files.

To "Pin to Quick access" Locations

the Home tab, and click/tap on the Pin to Quick
access button in the ribbon.
The Action Center

used tools we grew to know changed and are now a part of the Action Center Action Center Action Center
What happened to AutoPlay?
Another annoying change in the new OS is to how
autoplay reacts. Now to activate autoplay you need to change the settings in
Notifications. This will change the length of time the notification stays
open.
" Note: This example shows my SDHC(E:) card under
the title AutoPlay. You need to click on the Action Center

The PHOTO APP Save and Share Your Photos
When you're done editing a photo, you can either update it or save a copy. At
the most immediate level, Photos has a button that will start playing a
slideshow of your collection. An odd thing about this feature, though, is that
you can only start it from an individual photo view, rather than from a group
of selected photo thumbnails.
For sharing further abroad, you can tap the Share button to
open a panel populated by any apps that can accept photos, including Mail,
Facebook, and Twitter (assuming you have those apps installed). Helpful for
this kind of sharing is the app's multiple selection button, so you can select
a bunch of photos to slap up on Facebook in one shot.
Show or Hide Common desktop icons
With Windows 10 to set common icons, aka My PC or
Computer, on the desktop click on the Action Center
