How To Activate Quick Launch Bar

-
Welcome back my friends ! Today I'll show you how to bring back quick launch bar in windows 7, 8 and 10. 👋 I decided to take a short break guys ! No No not too long. I will be here again at 4th March. But you have to stay tuned those time because I'm going to announce a long awaited update to this blog. Stay Tuned ! ✌

 So what is quick launch bar ?
The Quick Launch bar was introduced in Windows XP, and sat on the far left side of the Taskbar next to the Start button. It provided a quick and easy way to access programs and your desktop.

In Windows 7, the Quick Launch bar was removed from the Taskbar, but it’s still available in Windows 7, 8, and 10 if you know how to add it back. Why would you want the Quick Launch bar back when you can pin programs to the Taskbar? The Quick Launch bar also contains the Show Desktop feature, which is a more obvious place than that small rectangle on the far right side of the Taskbar (especially in Windows 8 and 10). Maybe you prefer to use a more old-school, ungrouped taskbar with shortcuts on the side 😜. In any case, we’ll show you how to add the Quick Launch bar to the Taskbar in Windows 8 but it will work same in windows 7 and 10.


 OK now we know what is quick launch bar so let's start. Maybe you won't like this but you must try this out if you haven't experienced it yet.
To add the Quick Launch bar back to the Taskbar, right-click on an open area of the Taskbar, and go to Toolbars > New Toolbar.

Copy and paste the following path into the box at the top of the On the New Toolbar – Choose a folder dialog box and press Enter
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch
Then, click the “Select Folder” button.

And now you can see the Quick Launch Bar in the right side of Task bar. 

 Hmm.... Looks Good ! But if you don't need to keep that you can simply disable it. Right click on taskbar and go to Toolbars. There you can find Quick Launch. Uncheck it and you are done.

          So see you again in 4th March with a very special post. Good Bye for now !

Computer Security - Encryption

Welcome be a whole new Cyber Security Tutorial. we will discuss about the how important Encryption is for Computer Security. What is Encryption? Encryption is a transformed type of genuine information where only the authorized parties know how to read it, so in the worst case scenario if somebody has access to these files they would still not be able to understand the message in it. The bases of encryption are since the ancient times. A good example is the pigeon couriers, where the kings used to send messages to their commandants in the battle field in a specific code, when the enemies caught them, they could not read them, just that the message was lost, but if arrived at the destination commandant had the decryption vocabulary so they could decrypt it.
