Picture Tools/Manage Tab


                Opening the Pictures library folder offers a special double-decker tab, too,
                stocked with commands for controlling pictures. They include these:


                           Rotate left, Rotate right. Turns the selected photos 90 degrees.
                           Handy if they’re coming up turned sideways because of the way
                           you held the camera.


                           Slide show. Starts an immediate full-screen slideshow. Click the
                           mouse or tap to go to the next picture; press the arrow keys to go

                           forward or backward faster; press the Esc key to stop the show.

                           Set as background. Instantly applies the selected photo to your

                           desktop as its new wallpaper!

                           Cast to Device. If you have an Xbox, a Miracast adapter, or
                           another playback gadget attached to your TV, then you can send a

                           photo or slideshow from your Windows machine to the big screen
                           with this one click.



                Tabucopia


                Incredibly, that’s not all the tabs. You’ll see other tabs appear when you
                open certain window types. There’s a Ribbon tab just for the Recycle Bin.
                There’s a Disk Tools tab (when you open a disk window), a Shortcut Tools

                tab (for a shortcut), an Application Tools tab (for a program), and so on.
                Part of the fun is encountering new tabs you’ve never seen before.




                The File Explorer Address Bar


                When you’re working at the desktop—that is, opening File Explorer folder

                windows—you’ll find a few additional controls dotting the edges.

                In a web browser, the address bar is where you type the addresses of the
                websites you want to visit. In a File Explorer window, the address bar is
                more of a “bread-crumbs bar” (that’s a shout-out to Hansel and Gretel fans).
