Disable or customize Windows’ Internet Connection test to improve privacy

Whenever you start a PC running Windows, an Internet connection test is run automatically to test the Internet availability. The test tries to connect to a Microsoft website — http://www.msftncsi.com/ — to download the ncsi.txt text file from the server the website is hosted on.

Windows knows then if your computer has Internet access, local area network access, or no network access at all.

How to edit timestamps with Windows PowerShell

The following tutorial demonstrates how you can edit file timestamps — create, last access and last write — using Windows PowerShell.

PowerShell is part of any modern version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Microsoft shifted to PowerShell away from the Command Prompt on Windows 10, but did not remove the command prompt doing so.

Windows 10 users and administrators have access to both, but the development focus lies clearly on PowerShell.

Each file on Windows, and other operating systems as well, has several timestamps associated with it. The file system keeps track of the files creation time, last access time, and last write time.

How to reset the Screenshots counter on Windows 10

Microsoft improved the screenshot taking functionality of Windows in Windows 10 significantly. The operating system comes with plenty of options to take screenshots, and one of the easiest options is to use the keys Windows+Print for that.

A new screenshot is saved to the default Screenshots directory on the system whenever you use the keyboard shortcut.  You can open File Explorer manually and select Pictures in the sidebar to open it, or load %userprofile%\Pictures\Screenshots directly instead anywhere provided that an address bar is available.

Windows assigns file names to screenshots automatically. Each file name begins with Screenshot but since file names need to be unique, a counter is added to the file name. Windows increases the counter by 1 each time you take a new screenshot on the system. The index is incremented by 1 automatically so that you end up with names like Screenshot (1).png, Screenshot (2).png and so on.

The counter is not reset, even if you delete files in the Screenshot directory or move all files to another location. Windows remembers the last used number and will increment it by 1 automatically.
