I’ve Got Chores to Do… So Where Are All the Knobs and Switches?

Posted by on January 3rd, 2013 with Comments Off
OK, so you’ve had Windows 8 for a while now and you’ve learned enough to put on your maintenance hat. Now you’re looking for tools like System Information, Device Manager, Disk Management, etc. You’ve fumbled through the Start Screen, searching for the tools you need, you’ve been burned by searching within Settings and not Apps, and finally found what you were looking for in a confusing list of options. There’s got to be an easier way!

Enter the Quick Access Menu – accessible via the Windows Key + X or alternatively, you can right-click on the bottom right corner of the screen to spawn the menu. The Quick Access Menu exposes system functionality and enables one-stop access to many key system management chores.

Testimonial

Moving into electronic document management was a significant concern to us, as we had a large mix of paper, existing data files, and hundreds of thousands of microfiche-based media that needed to be converted to electronic files and then imported into the document management system. The DiVA product lived up to its promise of robust document management capabilities, ease of use, and systems integration. The DiVA staff went out of their way to assist us through the entire process, work with our microfiche conversion company, and create a custom module that automatically imported ALL of our converted documents.
