    Third Tech Tip: How to Enable and Use Clipboard History on Windows

    Hello, tech enthusiasts! Today’s tip will show you how to enable and use clipboard history in Windows 10 and 11. Clipboard history can be a real productivity booster, allowing you to access a history of copied text, images, and other content that you’ve previously cut or copied. Let’s dive in!

    What is Clipboard History?

    Clipboard history is a feature in Windows 10 and 11 that keeps track of the last 25 items you copied, from text to images under 4 MB. You can retrieve these items as needed without having to re-copy them each time, which is especially useful for multitasking or handling repetitive tasks.

    How to Enable Clipboard History

    1. Open Settings:

    • Press Windows Key + I to open Settings.

    2. Navigate to Clipboard Settings:

    • Go to System > Clipboard.

    3. Enable Clipboard History:

    • In the Clipboard settings, locate the Clipboard History toggle and switch it On.

    4. Activate Clipboard History with a Shortcut:

    • Once enabled, you can access your clipboard history anytime by pressing Windows Key + V.

    • This will open a pop-up with your most recent items. Select any item to paste it into your current document or app.

    Pro Tips for Clipboard History

    • Clearing Your Clipboard: To clear items from clipboard history, open it with Windows Key + V, click on the three dots next to an item, and select Delete or Clear All.

    • Pin Frequently Used Items: You can pin items you use often by selecting the three dots next to the item and clicking Pin. Pinned items will stay in your history even after you restart your computer.

    Why Enable Clipboard History?

    This feature is a real time-saver for anyone who frequently copies and pastes data, making it easy to access multiple saved items without switching back and forth. Try it out, and let me know how it boosts your workflow!

    Second Tech Tip: Managing Default Email Apps and Mailto Links in Windows 11

    Hey, tech people! Today, let’s tackle a common setup snag in Windows 11—configuring default apps, especially for email. If you’re blocking the native ‘Mail’ app (for security or preference reasons) and relying on Outlook, you might notice a frustrating issue where email links still try to open in the blocked app, resulting in an ‘Access is denied’ error.

    Why This Happens: Windows 11 sometimes defaults to the ‘Mail’ app for mailto links, even if Outlook is set as the default email client. If the ‘Mail’ app is blocked, this can cause compatibility issues and errors.

    Quick Solution:

    1. Set Outlook as the Default Email App:

    • Go to Settings > Apps > Default Apps.

    • Under Email, select Outlook instead of the ‘Mail’ app.

    2. Update the Mailto Protocol:

    • Still in Default Apps, scroll down to Choose defaults by link type.

    • Find mailto in the list and set it to Outlook.

    By making these adjustments, you’ll have a smoother experience with Outlook handling email links and avoid conflicts caused by the ‘Mail’ app. Share this tip with others who might be managing similar setup challenges, and let me know if it helped!

    First Tech Tip: Organizing Your Digital Workspace

    For today’s tip, let’s talk about setting up a productive digital workspace. Whether you’re on a Mac, Windows, or Linux, here are a few steps to make sure your system is organized and ready for anything:

    1. Declutter Your Desktop

    • A cluttered desktop can slow down your device and make it hard to find what you need. Spend a few minutes organizing files into folders. On a Mac, you can use “Stacks” to automatically group similar items together.

    2. Automate Updates

    • Keep your software and apps up-to-date. Most systems allow you to enable automatic updates, which can help you stay secure and bug-free.

    3. Back Up Regularly

    • Use a tool like Time Machine on macOS, File History on Windows, or a cloud-based solution. Having a recent backup means you can recover files easily if anything goes wrong.

    4. Customize Your Interface

    • Customize your taskbar, dock, or desktop environment with shortcuts to the tools you use most. You can even set up scripts to open specific applications with one click if you’re frequently using multiple tools.

    I hope you’ll find these tips useful, and I look forward to sharing more with you! Stay tuned for more tech tips, and let me know in the comments what topics you’d like to see covered.
