Quick tip of the day

When you open a folder on your PC, you see a grid or list of all the different files inside. You can change how files are displayed, making navigating everything in a specific folder easier.

  • Open up a folder, then right-click on the background — not a file.
  • Hover your mouse over the View tab of the dropdown menu.
  • Choose your preferred layout from the menu.

Select extra-large icons if you’re trying to preview photos before opening them. Choose List (just filed names) or Details (file names plus the date, type and size) to view compact information about your files, making it easier to locate PDFs and Word documents, for instance.

Sometimes, Windows notices when you choose the same display layout in a new folder and automatically applies it to other folders to save time. Nice.
