Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals. — E. James Rohn.

I know for a fact that I’ve recently deleted some file so there should be contents inside the bin. Let’s jump in! What are the steps to reset explorer? Here are the steps I’ve created for when I do not need to restart the PC to reset overall explorer settings or when its has flaw. Open the “Run command” window by pressing WIN+R.

At the command prompt, type this: taskkill /IM explorer.exe /F You should notice these all vanish: Start Menu, Taskbar, any open File Explorer windows. Type this at the command prompt explorer.

Disable mDNS and SSDP Discovery in Google Chrome

We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone. — Orson Welles. Hi guys, if you ever check your task manager you’ll notice chrome is listening to port 5353 on Linux.
