  • Windows 8 – Toggle Hiding / Minimizing the Ribbon in Explorer

    Prevent the ribbon in Windows 8’s Explorer from automatically disappearing after you select an option.

    In Windows 8, when you select a menu item from the Ribbon in Explorer, by default the ribbon hides itself. This way you can keep more screen real-estate for actually looking through your files and folders.

    However, if you are configuring which files to view, altering how you want icons displayed, or rotating images, you may find it irritating that the ribbon disappears each time you select an option, check a box, etc. While you can select the menu bar again to access the option, why should you have to do this each time?…

  • Windows 8 – Toggle Computer, Control Panel, Files, Network, Recycle Bin on Desktop

    Show or hide a variety of icons on the Windows 8 Desktop: Computer, Control Panel, Files, Network, and/or the Recycle Bin.

    By default, the Windows 8 Desktop is fairly sparse, only showing an icon for the Recycle Bin so you can quickly view deleted files that have not been completely removed from the system.

    While you can access your Computer, Control Panel, the network, and your user files via the Explorer icon in the Taskbar, you might find it more useful to have Desktop icons that you can double-click for instant access to these locations. …

  • Windows 8 – Move the Desktop’s Taskbar Around the Screen

    Tired of the Windows 8 Desktop Taskbar appearing at the bottom? Why not move it to the top or another edge?

    As with earlier versions of Windows, when you access the Desktop mode of Windows 8, the Taskbar by default appears at the familiar place – the bottom of the screen.

    Would you like to move the Taskbar to the top of the screen similar to other operating systems? Or if you have a wide monitor, perhaps you prefer the Taskbar to appear at the left or right edge. Making this change is easy:…

  • SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) in Riverbend Ponds Natural Area


    SUP in Riverbend Ponds Natural Area

    September 30, 2012. To SUP ot not to SUP? Paddling SurfTech 14-0 Bark Expedition SUP in Riverbend Ponds Natural Area. Camera: GoPro Hero.

    Starting from the parking lot on Cairnes St (off Timberline, left shore of the Poudre River) it is possible to paddle a loop through three small ponds with one very short portage and one passing under low walk board (on the picture above). The smallest Turtle Pond is amazing – a crystal clear water with a lot underwater vegetation. It is one of my favorite photography spots in Fort Collins. That long walk board appears in many of my pictures.
