How to bookmark on PDF files
Ryan Bondroff <deafblindadvocate@...>
Hi, what is the shortcut or command to bookmark on any PDF file when you need a reading break? I use W10, JAWS 2021 and Focus 40 and a standard keyboard.

Re: Question regarding either of these options.
Randy Barnett <blindmansbluff09@...>
Unless you do video or audio production you don't need to worry
about this. Windows will check the disk once a month unless you
change the schedule. As for SSD's: You don't need to do anything
special. They have what is called trim. This is the SSD equivalent
of defrag. It is all done automatically. Also unless you do
professional audio/video production modern SSD's will take longer
to die from writes than most computers will last. I have some
ssd's that are going on 10 years now. Now if you do do audio/video
production the time savings of SSD's will outway any potential
longivity of SSDs. As for moving your swap file to a mechanical
drive. This totally defeats the benefits of having an SSD. your
swap file is a extension of your RAM and needs to be as fast as
possible to get decent performance from your computer. Granted RAM
is so cheap now that swap files are seldom needed but when it is
you don't want it on a slow mechanical hard drive.

Re: cursor moves back to top of email
Mike B.
Hi Kevin & Richard,
I don't run Outlook, so this is only something
to try to see if it'll take care of what you're wanting.
Open the Settings Center while in the
application or open the default all applications Settings Center if you want to
do this for all applications.
Down arrow to, Web / HTML / PDFs closed, right arrow to open. Down arrow to, Reading, right arrow to open. Down arrow to, Configure Web Verbosity Levels closed, right arrow to open. Down arrow to, Medium..., press the spacebar to open. Note, don't press enter here, only use the spacebar. Down arrow many times to, Table grid checked, and uncheck this to see if this helps. Note: Instead of down arrowing you can tap the
letter, T, until you get to, Table grid, as well.
Now, tab to, Okay, press the spacebar tab to, apply, press the spacebar and tab to, okay, and press enter to save / close. Take care. Mike. Sent from my
iBarstool.
From: Adrian Spratt Mike,
I had the same problem with Outlook 2016, and
the quick settings remedy was no longer working. So far this morning, the
procedure you lay out here has
worked. It makes a huge difference. Once again, thanks.
Adrian
Stay safe and take care. Mike.

Hi JM,
The default setting is to check the drive once a month, at least that's what it was on my Windows 10 Pro system using a solid state drive, but it can be changed to weekly or turned off.
To check / change the defrag settings open File Explorer and highlight your OS drive.
Open the drive's properties and, control + tab to the, Tools, page.
Tab to, optimize and defrag... button, and press the spacebar. You'll find a list of drives and their status will be reported if you arrow from drive to drive
You tab to find more options like analyze, optimize, schedule on or off, frequency of optimizing / defragging. In order to get to scheduling / frequency settings you have to spacebar the, change settings button.
I know I'm missing a thing or 2, but to see what is there go into the drive properties and take a look around on the Tools page / tab.

Re: Question regarding either of these options.
Dave Durber
Hello there:
At least since Windows 7, Defrag is turned on by
default. It is also set by default, to defragany Hard Disk Drive (HDD), once a
week. If a Solid State Drive (SSD), is detected, a procedure, called
"Retrimming", is occasionally performed. How often the retrimming process is
performed on any SSD drives, is not clear. I have 2 SSD Drives in 4 Desktop
systems. On what I call my main storage computer, the system drive, has not been
Retrimmed for 32 days, while Drive F, was retrimmed a week ago yesterday,
on 22nd March.

If folks are really concerned about writing to their SSD too much, you might consider turning off hibernation, which writes to the SSD/HD whenever your computer hibernates. Also, you might set your swap file to a fixed size, so the page file isn't constantly changing size. And if windows still lets you, if you have a secondary drive in your computer, put your pagefile.sys file on the second internal HD drive, so windows isn't constantly writing on the SSD. You can move your commonly used folders like downloads and documents to a secondary HDD. There is also a windows feature that I have never used, called super fetch.

Yeah, I only reboot mine when it starts stumbling
from being on too long, like after a couple months.
I think the same is true for mechanical drives,
constant rebooting, with the spinning up and down is hard on them.
I've never had a mechanical HDD die on me, and I
never turn them off.
On one of my laptops, I put in a SATA disk drive
adapter, and it holds two CF cards.
So that laptop has 64 GB of SSD, using the two CF
cards inside.
If I can find some 64 GB CF cards at a decent
price, I may swap them out with the 32 GB CF cards.
I may see if I can get an adapter that takes USB
drives, I have a couple 128 GB USB thumb drives.
The nice thing about a desktop system is that you
can make your own hybrid system.
You can get a relatively small SSD for installing
programs and you really wouldn't need more than 32 GB, and you can have a
mechanical drive inside as well for your downloads and documents folders, and
perhaps your swap file too.

Albert, You will always want to do a disk cleanup first, then do a defrag. The disk cleanup will make space that the defrag will write data onto to make a tighter usage of the disk.

Good afternoon everyone,
Does windows ten, have a utility built into it that will automatically do both a disk defrag, and a disk cleanup on a weekly schedule, or do you have too do it yourself? If not, which one do you have too do first. In other words, should I do a disk defrag first, and then do a disk cleanup second
Thanks in advance,
Al ? Which one comes first.
