Playing alone is very good, but often better than a shared experience. Even if you play alone, you can share the highlights of your game with your friends by posting video clips of your favourite moments on social media. Luckily, the PS4 has built-in video recording capabilities for these kinds of things.

Not only can you start recording to capture the game as it starts, but the PS4 always records the last 15 minutes of the game, so it’s easy to save a great moment that just happened.

How do I Record Gameplay on the PS4?

• Start playing. To get started, simply launch the game you want to capture. Remember that you can’t currently share video clips or the PS4 menu interface.
• Once the game is loaded, play until you come across something cool. The PS4 automatically saves the recordings of the last 15 minutes of the game.
• Use the “Share” button. Click the “Share” button on your controller when you’re ready to edit and share your clip. This will automatically open the options for uploading videos or screenshots. Click on “Upload Video”.
• You will see a selection of recently recorded PS4 clips. Note that they don’t have to be 15 minutes long; each time you click the “Share” button, the PS4 will stop recording and start again. Select the video that contains the part of the game you want to share.

Adobe Acrobat Reader contains the thumbnail extractor and a shell extension for the preview manager that creates PDF thumbnails and a preview of the file in the preview window of the file explorer. PDF thumbnails can be enabled or disabled in the Adobe Reader preferences dialog box.

After Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is installed, the corresponding icon in the system tray will not be displayed each time the program is started. Instead, I could only see a generic-looking icon that resembled the native Photos application. The problem even affected the program’s Start menu entries. read more

It’s not the Aero Glass of Windows Vista, but the transparency effects of Windows 10 are certainly not for everyone. Transparency effects are visible by default in the Start Menu, Taskbar and Action Center, although they can easily be turned off if they’re not your cup of tea.

To Disable Taskbar Transparency in Windows 10

To do this, you need to do the following:

• Open the Settings application.
• Go to Customization -> Colors
• You can open this page directly. Press the Win + R key combination on your keyboard and enter the following information in the “Run” field
• ms-Settings:Colours
• Scroll down the page to the “More Options” section.
• Uncheck the Transparency Effects option.

Editing the Registry

• Even if you don’t download the registration files, it’s always good to know what has been changed, just in case. Make sure you make a backup copy of the registry first.
• Open Regedit and create two DWORDs (32-bit value):
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced named UseOLEDTaskbarTransparency
  • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Dwm called ForceEffectMode.
  Double-click on each new DWORD and change the data value from 1 to Enable and 2 to Disable.Right-click and delete both DWORDS later if you change your mind.

  Conclusion

  It’s a good thing that Microsoft decided to implement a native method to disable taskbar transparency in Windows 10. It has been well received by many users. Tell us in the comments which taskbar you prefer – transparent or opaque? read more

Wi-Fi passwords can be difficult to remember and sometimes difficult to retrieve if the router or information is not easily accessible to users. If you’ve already accessed the wireless network on a Mac, AppleInsider explains how to use keychain access to retrieve your Wi-Fi password.

In most cases, it is fairly easy to find the Wi-Fi network password, especially on home routers where the password can be changed through a software interface, or on some ISP routers that are printed on the side of the network device. On a workstation, it can be so easy to request technical support. read more

The desktop.ini file is a hidden file that stores information about the layout of a Windows folder. Essentially, when the layout or settings of a folder are changed, a desktop.ini file is automatically created to record those changes.

Can it be deleted?

The desktop.ini file can technically be deleted from any directory, although this is not recommended. Note that the file stores the settings associated with the folder it is contained in, and deleting it will reset the settings to the defaults. For example, if you change the icon of a folder and then delete the desktop.ini file, the icon will revert back to what it was before. read more
