I work too fast sometimes for my own good. Sometimes I just click on things without paying attention, and that can get me into trouble!
One of the cool things about Windows way back from the old days, you can undo stuff you did, that you didn’t really want to do!
Undo is in almost every program running on Windows today. Usually it is in the menu EDIT and you click on UNDO. Pretty Simple.
Some programs have a left handed arrow, which means Undo or Go Back (just like your web browser, it takes you BACK a page).
Some programs even have a redo, an arrow pointing to the right. Just like in Photoshop pictured here.
That means you can undo something, then change your mind and say, O.K. forget the UNDO, and REDO that back.
Another cool thing is that Windows itself uses the UNDO Command. Let’s say you move a file from a folder, and like me accidently let go too soon and dropped it in the wrong folder. O no, how are you going to find it?
Go to the top menu under Edit>UNDO or you can use the handy keyboard shortcut Control+Z keys. That will put the file back where you moved it from and you can start over.
Another thing that can be annoying is if you are selecting multiple files with Control+Click. If you are not careful, if you move them slightly and let up on the mouse, you have now made a copy of everything selected. I hate this, and it happens.
Just hold Control+Z and viola! You have undone that little mess you just made. The trick is not to do anything else. One good thing is, if you went ahead and did one other thing, you can do UNDO and UNDO again, and it will step back one action at a time.
There are some rare cases where UNDO will not work, like deleting files from a USB Flash drive, because that drive is not on the computer, it will not restore those files.
But if you goof up, it is worth a try. UNDO is like your little computer angel.
