its in the title, I want to build in shortcuts in my word templates. Any shortcut-gods here?

That's definitely it, I think I even remember when it happened even though it was two years ago. Thank you so much, you're the man.

Yeah, it's desktop.ini and it's the file that has neither been copied or noticed as a difference by syncback, my file copying software. On another note, the first three files in the same folder all have had the first two letters replaced and now start with "~$". Could this be a bug, bit flip or a mistake I have made when making them? They aren't that critical and now un-openable, so I think I am just going to delete them. Any idea on what the weird phenomena is so that I can be less afraid of it happening again though? haha

Thanks for the advice! I downloaded WinMerge and found a single file that I have actually gotten a notification for before. Do you know what this symbol means?

Title pretty much says it all. I am making 3 copies of a huge folder and I am using syncback pro and windows file explorer. I made the copies, but when I checked the properties of each copy to see if everything went fine I noticed there was one file missing. I ran my parity check in syncback which compares every file in the three folders and it said that they were identical, but file explorer says that one of them still has one extra tiny file. The version with the extra file is on an SSD while the ones that are missing a file are on separate HDD's, could this be the reason? Here are the property pages for the three different versions, thanks for your time.

Perfect, you the man<3

I am writing about different storage devices and categorizing them. I want a single word that categorizes storage devices like NVME PCIE SSD's internal SSD's, external SSD's, internal HDD's and external HDD's, but not NAS'es connected through LAN or offsite "devices" like a private server or paid cloud service. I tried words like "Physical" or "Wired" but those would also include NAS's and local servers, is there a word here that's staring me in the face that I don't know? Thanks for your time, it's a weird question I know.

You guys are such fucking heroes, I would have spent hours looking for that. Thank you so much!!

Hey guys, really awkward formulation in the question because I am not really sure what the terminology is, but I can explain it perfectly with the problem I have: I am making a huge spreadsheet that uses Letters as name for both the x and y axis, and I could name each cell manually but it would be way faster if excel could do this for me. Here are the images of what I am trying to do, and the abstract "formula" I want. Is there any way to make excel do this? I want it to take the numbers of the marked cells in the formula and spell out the letter in the cells after each other in a single word: Sorry for the really clumsy explanation I have almost never used excel at anything more than a completely basic level before, hope someone can help me. Thanks for your time!

I want to start doing as many things as possible on my pc instead of in physical form. This inlcudes reading, buying and storing books, so I want to have a library of my favorite books in pdf format on my NAS so I don't depend on for example Amazon to keep using their kindle format. I think I read that the amazon ebook format's drm has been cracked and is therefore easily converted to pdf online, is this true? Can I count on amazon's drm to stay cracked or is there a better way of doing this alltogether? Do I have to use other less used stores to get the files in pdf-format from the beginning? Has anyone done something similar to this? Thanks for your time.

I want to create a pc where the fans are off under most light load, but when the temperature sensors connected to a commander pro detects a high temperature all the case fans turn on. Does the icue software or any software that can control a commander pro have this option? (I want this to only turn on when the case turns hot from the heat of the graphics card, therefore I can't use the cpu temp as the trigger in the bios or other software)

Thanks for a clear and great answer, I'm guessing the only thing you're giving up for the uncontested compatibility is the ability to include a photo? (without getting around it by using say, a weblink to a photo)

I want to make a locally stored list of all my friends', and family's names, emails, phone number, addresses, maybe photo etc. What would be the cleanest, most future-proof way to do this? My first thought was to store each contact as its own docx / odf document (or one long document) for easy compatibility, but after googling for a few minutes I now realise that there are formats like VCF and CSV specifically for this usecase. Has anyone made something similar / have some knowledge of this that they want to share? What are the safest and best formats and programs? Thanks for the time.

I'm studying for my IT-exam and one of the basics here is that every pixel uses byte and bits to store information. The text book is a bit outdated so it says that "we use 3 bytes to store color information for each pixel, and we call this 24-bit color depth." Now this confused me a bit because I have a pretty high-end color accurate monitor that has "10-bit color". Now after doing some digging online I now learned that there is something called bits per component and bits per pixel. Am I correct when I guess that the book was referring to the bits per pixel of an image, while my monitor has 10 bits per color component, so because it uses RGB output color format and rgb led-lights in each pixel it actually has 30 bpp (bits per pixel)?
