 These options allow you to personalize and customize your Windows 10 taskbar to your liking, making it more efficient and visually appealing for your workflow.

How to create shortcuts and deleting the shortcuts

Creating and deleting shortcuts for various Windows elements, such as files, folders, programs, and websites, is a common task. Here's how you can create shortcuts and delete them in Windows:

Creating Shortcuts:

1. Desktop Shortcuts:

   - For Files/Folders:

  - Locate the file or folder you want to create a shortcut for.

  - Right-click on it, and from the context menu, select "Create shortcut."

  - The shortcut will appear on your desktop.

   - For Programs:

  - Locate the program's .exe file (usually in the "Program Files" folder or on the Start menu).

  - Right-click on it, and select "Create shortcut."

  - Drag and drop this shortcut onto your desktop.

2. Start Menu Shortcuts:

   - To create a shortcut to a program on the Start menu:

  - Open the Start menu.

  - Locate the program.

  - Right-click on it, and select "More" > "Open file location."

  - In the File Explorer window that opens, right-click on the program's .exe file, and select "Send to" > "Desktop (create shortcut)."

3. Taskbar Shortcuts:

   - To create a shortcut on the taskbar:

  - Locate the program on your desktop or in the Start menu.

  - Drag and drop the program's icon to the taskbar.

Deleting Shortcuts:

1. Desktop Shortcuts:

Remember that deleting a shortcut doesn't delete the actual file or program; it only removes the shortcut icon.

Google Meet tips & Tricks

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Google Meet offers different presentation modes to accommodate various needs during a video conference or virtual meeting. These modes are designed to help you share your screen or presentation materials effectively. Keep in mind that Google Meet might have added new features or changed existing ones since then. Here are the primary presentation modes available in Google Meet:

1. Present Your Screen:

   - This mode allows you to share your entire screen or a specific application window with meeting participants.

   - To use this mode, click the "Present Now" button (usually located at the bottom-right of the Google Meet interface) and select either "Your entire screen" or a specific application window.

   - You can also choose to share a Chrome tab if you have the Google Meet tab open.

 2. Present a Window:

   - This mode allows you to share a specific application window, such as a presentation software or document, without showing your entire screen.

   - Click the "Present Now" button and select "A window" to choose a specific application window to share.

 3. Present a Tab:

   - This mode is specifically for sharing a Chrome browser tab.

   - Click the "Present Now" button and select "A tab" to share a specific Chrome tab that you have open.

 4. Present a Document:

   - You can use this mode to directly upload and present a document from your Google Drive.

   - Click the "Present Now" button, choose "Google Drive," and select the document you want to present.

 5. Present a Jamboard:

   - Google Jamboard is a collaborative whiteboard tool. You can use this mode to present a Jamboard to the meeting participants.

   - Click the "Present Now" button and select "Jamboard" to share a collaborative whiteboard.

 6. Present a Meet Add-on:

   - Some third-party apps and add-ons may integrate with Google Meet and offer specialized presentation modes. If you have such an add-on installed, it may appear as an option in the "Present Now" menu.

 7. Stop Presentation:

   - You can stop sharing your screen or presentation at any time by clicking the "Stop presenting" button, which is typically found in the lower-right corner of your screen while you're presenting.

 Remember that your ability to use certain presentation modes may depend on your Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) subscription and the permissions granted by the meeting organizer. Additionally, Google Meet may have introduced new features or changed existing ones, so it's a good idea to check the latest documentation or help resources for up-to-date information.
