=== Windows Hints and Tips ===
== Bios ==
  * Check your bios version: ''wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion''
== Disable Windows Keys (Win+letter) ==
  * ''HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced'' > add ''DisabledHotkeys'' as New Expandable String with the list of letters you want to disabled as value, e.g. ''ACQST''
  * Restart Explorer
== Pin any file to the Start Menu ==
  * ''HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers'' > add ''{470C0EBD-5D73-4d58-9CED-E91E22E23282}'' as SubKey and enter ''Pin to Start'' as ''(default)'' value
== Re-order entries in Navigation Pane of File Explorer ==
  * 3rd-party entries are under the path ''\HKEY_USERS\[*SID*]_Classes\CLSID\[*ApplicationHash*]''. If you're the only user logged on (entries only exist for active users not logged out), your SID (or Security Identifier) will be obvious because there will only be one. It is the long one. Otherwise obtain your user by using the Command Prompt statement ''wmic useraccount get name,sid''.
