Looking for Windows tricks is as simple as googling them, and here at NeoTeo we have shared a healthy number of them. However, it never hurts to have a local copy, an offline reference to keep and share with other users. That reference is WinTricks an updated database with tricks, secrets, and tips for all editions of Windows.
As the saying goes, old habits die hard, and when it comes to Windows, we can't help but apply certain tricks and tweaks, even if their effectiveness hasn't been fully proven. Personally, I always modify the size of the virtual memory, changing its configuration from dynamic to static. Many Redmond apologists shout that it has no effect these days (especially with SSDs in the equation)... but I'll die on that hill.
So, what is the best place with Windows tricks? Actually, what we're going to recommend today is not a site, but the equivalent of a manual, a reference guide. Its name is WinTricks it has been around for a long time, and it has the advantage of receiving frequent updates. Its latest build was published in August 2021, but don't expect to find tricks for recent versions of Windows only. Some of its suggestions date back even to Windows 95...
WinTricks: The Best Windows Tricks
Unfortunately, WinTricks is not available in Spanish (only English, French, German, and Dutch), but that hasn't stopped us before. Its navigation is very similar to that of the old Windows help files. Each operating system has its own category, and there are also entries for Office, browsers, security, and even Xbox One. Another very interesting section is the one focused on Easter eggs. Some are particularly old, dating back to Windows 3.1, Mozilla, Amazon in its early days, and the classic Netscape Navigator.
The people behind WinTricks are working on an online version of their database, but honestly, I think the ability to download Windows tricks and access them offline is its strongest point. Some tricks are quite complex and should be read step by step, which is more comfortable through the WinTricks interface. The program supports printing, so nothing stops you from making physical copies of its content. Give it a try!
