Nowadays I mainly use Dell devices running Windows. I have a TracFone, but have not installed any apps on it. BTW, if you happen to have my phone number, please do not leave voice mail because I never listen to it (and actually don’t know how), and please do not text me anything big because I pay by the megabyte (and by the minute).

One of the first things I do on a new Windows device is create a folder on the desktop named
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
To learn about this, see howtogeek.com’s What Is the “God Mode” Folder in Windows 10, and How Do I Enable It?
Everything that is in the Startup folder is launched when Windows starts up. I like to keep an eye on what’s in this folder so I put a shortcut to this folder…
on my Windows desktop and
in the Startup folder (since it is a shortcut, you don’t need to worry about an infinite loop).
The startup folder is usually located here:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
To create a shortcut to this folder, right-click on it in Windows File Explorer and
choose
💡 | I also keep an eye on the list of installed programs (sorted by date), what’s going on with Task Scheduler, and more. |
I use the following environment variables on my Windows devices.
INFINITEINKROOT
YEARQUARTER
These environment variables make it easy to…
share scripts and configs on multiple Windows devices
and update scripts and configs when, for example, it is a new year.🎉[3]
An example of
how I use
%YEARQUARTER%
