- Windows 7 and earlier: Open msg (Windows Key + R) and enter msconfig to access a window with a similar startup section.
- macOS: Select System Preferences> Users and Groups> Your User and click on the Login Items tab. You can remove or hide the startup application from here.

Password-protected files:-
A simple way to lock access to certain files to create an encrypted archive. Odds You have already installed a copy of 7-Zip, WinRAR, or Anarklever (Mac) or something equivalent. Create a new archive, choose to encrypt its contents, and password protect them.

You can undo any action? Ctrl + Z is the last hot key, and make sure you were already aware of it, though note that the undo doesn’t just apply to typing. If you accidentally delete or move a file, you can hit Ctrl + Z to bring it back to where it was (Ctrl + Y will redo whatever you undo).
YouTube keyboard shortcut:-
If you thought it was easy to use the spacebar to pause a YouTube video (except when the focus is elsewhere and it doesn’t work), try using K to stop K instead, While J and L will step back / forward for 10 seconds. M acts as a mute. Super work.
