最近學習的計算機小知識

最近終於從窗口7升級到窗口8，原因是據說窗口8比窗口7安全了許多。

升級後比較明顯的不適有兩個：

1. 啟動菜單（Start Menu）不見了. 幸好網上找來了這個：

By Preston Gralla

In the Windows 8 Desktop, launch Windows Explorer, click the View tab on the toolbar, and check the box next to "Hidden items." That will display folders and files that are normally hidden from view.

2. Right-click the taskbar and select Toolbars-->New Toolbar.

 

3. From the screen that appears, navigate to Program DataMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu and select it. That will place a Start Menu toolbar on the far right of the taskbar. If you want to move the Start Menu toolbar to the right, right-click the taskbar, uncheck "Lock the Taskbar" and drag to the right. Lock it when you have it where you want.

4. You can now use the Start Menu by clicking the double-headed arrow. It works just like previous versions of Windows.

第二個學習的是組合鍵，特別是 Win+其它鍵，有許多都很快速。我最常用到的，估計要數 Win+ D -- 顯示桌麵。

因為計算機比較老，帶不動窗口10，所以8估計就到頭了。一旦微軟不支持窗口8，唯一的出路就將是LINUX。最近學習了LUBUNTU，是針對老舊計算機的，基於UBUNTU得一個分支。比我以前玩的PUPPY LINUX 占用資源要多一些。網上有許多教程，比如這個：

按照教程裝好後遇到的第一個問題，是NUM LOCK鍵默認不是打開的。幸好網上有人解惑，我就跟著學習了：

sudo su -

 apt-get install numlockx

restart the computer.

遇到的第二個問題是中文輸入法。這個費了半天勁，最後雖然裝上了，可並不知道到底是哪一步最終起了作用。感興趣的可參考下文。
