Quick tip of the day

The first thing you notice about a computer after its hardware is the desktop. Is yours filled with a countless number of thumbnails? While this makes it convenient to locate files, it can result in a mountain of clutter if you don’t practice some organization skills.

If you have several files and programs you rarely or never use on your desktop, delete them. Simply right-click on the application or file and select Delete. This will not delete the program from your computer, but it will remove the shortcut from your desktop.

Now it’s time to organize the icons. Don’t waste time dragging icons around your screen. Right-click the screen (not an icon) and select Name, Size, File or Date modified under the Sort by option. For Mac users, check out Apple’s how-to guide. Now you can arrange your icons into neat rows.

🎧 AUDIO BRIEFING

White House warning, Google shortcut, FBI cybercrime report

The White House put out a list of what businesses need to do to protect themselves from cyberwarfare. The problem? It's far from helpful. Plus, a helpful Google Drive shortcut you'll use again and again. And the FBI's 2021 Internet Crime Report is here. It was a banner year for hackers — and that's a bad thing for you.
