*Search by file size
You can use size: > 100 to search for files larger than size 100 KB, append a unit and you can search for file larger than 100 MB like so – size: >100MB. In addition to this, you can also use size: medium, size: large and other such operators to fine tune your search.
*Search file by kind
What if you want to search within all documents that is doc, docx, xls, pdf and the like? Well you use the kind: operator.

>> Use quotes for exact matches
As you would do with a Google query, you enclose your query within quotes to find an exact match. As an example, if you search for uniquename, the search will return items that contain make, use and of anywhere in any order. On the other hand, if you enclose these terms within quotes then search will return items having the exact phrase unique name. (e.g.) "unique name" in search box.
>> Using keywords to refine a search
If you want to filter on a property that doesn't appear when you click in the search box, you can use special keywords. This typically involves typing a property name followed by a colon, sometimes an operator, and then a value. The keywords aren't case sensitive.
>> Search using operators
When you use these operators, you need to type them in all capital letters.

>> Facebook is changing the way it deals with the user accounts of those that have died. Until now, Facebook memorialized the account held by the deceased (Memorialized accounts are a way for people on Facebook to remember and celebrate those who've passed away.), making it viewable but not editable in any way. Now, users have two distinct options from which to choose.
>> You can choose to
a) have your account permanently deleted after you die, or
b) nominate a “legacy contact” who will be able to manage your account after you have shuffled off this mortal coil. Your Facebook heir will only have access to certain information and settings.
>> This new feature that lets people choose a legacy contact—a family member or friend who can manage their account when they pass away. Once someone lets fb know that a person has passed away, fb will memorialize the account and the legacy contact will be able to:
* Write a post to display at the top of the memorialized Timeline (for example, to announce a memorial service or share a special message)
* Respond to new friend requests from family members and friends who were not yet connected on Facebook
* Update the profile picture and cover photo
>> If someone chooses, they may give their legacy contact permission to download an archive of the photos, posts and profile information they shared on Facebook. Other settings will remain the same as before the account was memorialized. The legacy contact will not be able to log in as the person who passed away or see that person’s private messages.
>> Alternatively, people can let fb know if they’d prefer to have their Facebook account permanently deleted after death.
**To setup a legacy contact:
>> Open your Settings. Choose Security and then Legacy Contact at the bottom of the page.
Note: Facebook is introducing this legacy contacts in the US first and look forward to expanding to more countries. Setting up a legacy contact is completely optional.

>> Open File Explorer window. Right-click the drive where you want to install Windows 8 apps – whether it’s an SD card, hard drive, or whatever else – and select Properties --> Ensure that the drive is set as NTFS file system.
Warning:
>> If the drive isn’t selected as NTFS file system, you will need to format the drive as NTFS to continue. (Many SD cards are formatted with the FAT file system instead.)
>> Back up any important data from the drive before continuing – formatting will delete all data on the drive. Right-click the drive and select Format.
>> Take registry and system backup before making below changes...
>> Format the selected drive, say 'D:\'
>>After format, create a folder for the apps on the drive ('D:\'), such as WindowsApps or Windows8Apps.
>> Open the registry editor.
>> Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx key
>> Select the Appx key, click Edit --> Permissions. (Ensure the Appx key is selected or you’ll modify permissions for another key instead!)
>> Click the Advanced button and click the change link next to TrustedInstaller.
>> Type Administrators into the box, click Check Names, and click OK. This will give all administrators on the computer ownership of the registry key.
>> Enable the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects checkbox and click OK.
>> Select Administrators in the Permissions for AppX window and click the Allow option next to Full Control. Click OK and you will now be able to edit the appropriate registry setting.
>> Double-click the PackageRoot value in the right pane and enter the location of the folder you created earlier. That’s 'D:\Windows8Apps\ in the case of our example.
>> Reboot your computer. Your changes won’t take effect until you reboot.
Note:This will only work for apps you install in the future. Previously installed apps will remain at the old location. To move these apps to the new location, you can try uninstall them from your computer and then reinstall them from the Windows Store.
