1. Select Start -> Multitasking settings.
2. Uncheck When I snap a window, show what I can snap next to it.

The Golden Rule of Computing

Regularly test your backups. Such as once a month (common data) or once a week (critical data). Data loss occurs in basically two kinds of situations:

• No backups
• Bad backups

If you practice restoring from backups every so often, then you are much more likely to be resilient in the case of computer problems.

If your computer processes depend on specific hardware or software setups, then document these requirements along with the data backups. That way, you can immediately begin provisioning the necessary components in the event of an outage. A little notetaking now saves a lot of pain later.

How to Make a Windows Boot USB Drive

1. Obtain a reliable copy of a Windows ISO. When in doubt, reference well known cryptographic checksums when validating such critical files.

2. Format a USB drive for a Windows NTFS partition, such as with Tuxera. For modern hardware, opt for GPT-style instead of MBR.

3. Mount the Windows ISO as a virtual disc.

4. Copy all files from the Windows virtual disc onto the USB partition.
