One Simple Cool Tip to Boost Your Productivity with Chrome Windows

Google Chrome
Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world, and for good reason. 

It's fast, secure, and packed with features. 

One of those features, a Cool Tip, is the ability to name your Chrome windows. 

Why do this?

You can organize your chrome windows and tabs logically.

And give each window its own unique name.

Each Chrome window can contain many tabs and you can move tabs from window to window to keep them organized.

This can be a great way to keep track of different windows, especially if you have a lot of them open at the same time.

To name a Chrome window, follow these steps:

  • Right-click on the title bar of the window you want to name.
  • Select Name Window from the menu.
  • Enter a name for the window in the text box that appears.
  • Click OK.
Name Chrome Window
Name Chrome Windows


The name of the windows will now appear in the taskbar and in the Alt+Tab menu.

View Chrome Window Name
View Chrome Window Names

Here are a few tips for naming your Chrome windows:

  • Be descriptive. The name of the window should give you a good idea of what's inside it.
  • Use short names. Long names can be difficult to read, especially when you're switching between windows quickly.
  • Use consistent naming conventions. This will make it easier to find the windows you're looking for.

FBI Warns Against Using Public USB Charging Stations

Did you use free USB charging ports when you are out in public?

Your phone may be at risk.

Here's why.

The concern in that cables and USB ports can be modified to introduce malware into phones that connect to the charging port.

The FBI's Denver office issued this specific warning to the public to avoid using free charging stations that are commonly found in public spaces such as airports, hotels or shopping centers.

Twitter

Avoid using free charging stations in airports, hotels or shopping centers. Bad actors have figured out ways to use public USB ports to introduce malware and monitoring software onto devices. Carry your own charger and USB cord and use an electrical outlet instead.

FBI Charger Warning

So what can you do to prevent this?
  • Keep your phone charged before you leave your home.
  • Bring your own USB charging cables and plug your phone directly into standard electrical outlets to charge it.  
  • You can also use your own mobile battery charger to recharge your phone between charging using secure electrical outlets.
Criminals are always looking for ways to commit fraud.

Stay informed and aware.

How to Attach Documents to Microsoft Outlook Messages Inside the Message

Microsoft Outlook
Do you struggle with attaching documents to your Outlook messages? 

Do you want to include the message INSIDE the message body rather than at the top?

You may have noticed that sometimes attachments in your Outlook email are at the top of the message while other times the documents are attached inside the message body itself.

Here's how to do it either way.

To attach a file from your computer in Outlook, follow these steps:

  • Reply, Forward or create a new email message.
  • Select InsertAttach File then Browse This PC.
  • Choose the file you want to attach and select Open.
  • To attach more than one file, hold CTRL (or Command in Mac) while selecting multiple files.
  • Select the file to attach to your message.
    • The file will be attached at the top of your message (under the subject line).
    • This is because your message format is most likely set as HTML
Microsoft Outlook Attachment
  • If you want to insert a document as an file icon inside the message body, select the Format Text  tab in the ribbon, then Format, Message Format, select Rich Text.
Microsoft Outlook Format Message
    • The file will be included inside your message.
Microsoft Outlook Attachment Rich Text

  • This can be useful when you want to each file or ensure the recipient knows what is different about each file you've attached.
  • The Message format determines where the attachment is located:
    • HTML and Plain Text formats will put the attachment at the top in the header.
    • Rich Text format will put the attachment INSIDE the message body.

That's it!
