Y’all like simple tips, right? Here ya go. They don’t get much easier than this one.<\/p>\n
Just last week, I downloaded a program I wanted to test. But things being busy, I forgot I downloaded it. Later in the week, I remember I downloaded a program I thought might be a candidate for our freeware pick of the week. But I simply could not remember the name of the program. \u00a0Looking in my download folders is a lost cause. I have several of them. There are hundreds of things in there ( I’m a slob – but in my defense, over 4 dozen of them are site backups that I keep on an external drive as well as “in the cloud”).<\/p>\n
I could not remember the name of that program to save me. I didn’t even know the first letter. Now I could have opened up all 3 of my download folders and sorted them from newest to oldest… but I’m lazy, I tells ya.<\/p>\n
I just fired up my browser (Chrome) and pressed the CTRL + J keys. And what to my bloodshot eyes should appear? All my recent downloads, including the program whose name I could not remember. As soon as I saw it, I recognized it.<\/p>\n
Instead of wasting time and click monkeying around sorting my download folder to find it, \u00a0the old CTRL + J shortcut opened the recent downloads page from my browser and I found what I was looking for.<\/p>\n
Next time you’re looking for something you downloaded but you can’t remember where or what it was, let your fingers do the walking: Press CTRL + J. \u00a0It works in all browsers, not just Chrome.<\/p>\n
J stands for downloads; oh Jes indeed it does!<\/p>\n
[ After all that, the program turned out to be a total waste of time. I wouldn’t recommend it even to my worst enemy. No, EB! I don’t mean you! You’re not my enemy, your my nemesis!]<\/p>\n
