While there are quicker ways to open File Explorer, such as using a keyboard shortcut, you can use Command Prompt to open the file manager in the current directory (or any other directory) in Windows 10. Here's how.

Open File Explorer Using Command Prompt

First, open Command Prompt on your PC by opening the "Start" menu, typing "cmd" in the Windows Search bar, then selecting "Command Prompt" from the search results.

Open Command Prompt from Windows Search

Command Prompt will now open. Here, run the following command to open the File Explorer:

start .

open current directory in Command Prompt

The . in the command represents the current directory in the command prompt. This command will open the folder in File Explorer that reflects that directory.

To open the parent folder of the current directory, run this command instead:

start ..

Command to open File Explorer two directories above current directory in command prompt

The parent folder of the current directory will now open in the File Explorer.

You can keep going back in the directory by appending a backslash and two periods. For example, we're currently in the "25_September 2020" folder in Command Prompt. Running start .... will open the "Documents" folder in File Explorer—a folder two levels up from the current directory in Command Prompt.

Open a Specific Folder in File Explorer Using Command Prompt

You can change directories in Command Prompt by using the cd command and running the start . command once in the desired directory to open that folder in File Explorer. However, you can also open any folder in File Explorer by running the start command, followed by the path of the folder you'd like to open.

For example, in our current directory, C:Usersmarsh, we want to open the Documents folder in File Explorer, which is just one level down. To do so, we'd run the following command:

start Documents

Open documents folder command

In the same directory, let's say we want to open our Invoices folder, which is located inside the Documents folder. We'd run this command:

start DocumentsInvoices

Open invoices folder command

The "Invoices" folder will now open in File Explorer.

How to Search for Products Sold and Shipped By Amazon Itself

Posted: 20 Oct 2020 05:50 AM PDT

Amazon.com Logo

Amazon.com acts as a middleman in the sale of millions of goods from thousands of vendors all over the world. The quality of those goods varies wildly. To avoid concerns about third-party sellers, you can choose to only buy products procured, owned, and sold by Amazon itself. Here's how.

"Shipped by Amazon" vs. "Sold by Amazon"

Amazon offers many items that are owned and sold by third-party sellers but "fulfilled" by Amazon. How does it work? Third-party sellers ship items to Amazon's warehouses. Once the items are sold, Amazon ships them to customers—even with speedy Prime shipping. In return, Amazon gets a cut of each sale, and Amazon keeps costs down by not having to own as much inventory.

In general, buying from third-party sellers on Amazon is safe and works well, but a third-party sale can also be risky. You might not receive the product as advertised (perhaps you'll receive a different color, model, or style) or in the condition specified. (Some items are sold as new but actually are refurbished.) Some unethical vendors even sell counterfeit items through Amazon.

We're going to show you a way to find items sourced and owned by Amazon until they are sold and shipped to you. That way, the items you buy are more likely to be authentic and in the condition advertised. Amazon sometimes offers promotional credits that only apply to items sold by Amazon itself, too.

How to Search for Products Sold By Amazon

Currently, to find products sold by Amazon itself through a search, you have to access the desktop version of the Amazon.com website through a web browser. So first, load up Amazon.com—or your country's version of Amazon. Once there, type what you're looking for into the search bar and hit "Enter."

On Amazon.com, type a search and hit Enter.

When results appear, look in the sidebar on the left side of the screen. Locate the "Department" section and click one of the departments that applies most to what you're looking for. This step is necessary to further narrow down results.

For example, here we searched for headphones, so we picked "Electronics" as the department.

In the Amazon.com sidebar, choose a department

After you choose the department, scroll down in the sidebar until you see the "Seller" section. Place a check mark beside "Amazon.com."

Place a check mark beside "Amazon.com" in the seller section of the sidebar

After checking "Amazon.com," the search results will reload, and you'll see "Amazon.com" listed in the search criteria just above the results. The items listed below will only be items procured, owned, and sold by Amazon.com itself.

The search criteria will include "Amazon.com"

Also, whenever you're looking at a particular item, you can double-check that it is sold by Amazon by looking under the "Add to Cart" and "Buy Now" buttons. If you see "Sold by Amazon.com," then you'll know it will come directly from Amazon and not a third-party seller.

Sometimes this information is instead listed under the price as part of a single sentence, such as "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com."

In products on Amazon.com, look for items that say "Sold by Amazon.com"

You can also look for this information in the Amazon app on smartphones and tablets. Keep an eye out for the "Sold By" information under the "Add to Cart" button. If it doesn't say "Sold By Amazon.com," then the product originated from a third-party seller.

Shopping on Amazon.com can be a minefield of potential issues, from fake customer reviews to scammy sellers. Now you have one more tool in your online arsenal that can help you shop with more confidence online. Good luck!

How to Completely Disable All Vibrations on Your iPhone

Posted: 19 Oct 2020 11:29 AM PDT

iPhone outline with an Apple logo

Some people are especially sensitive to vibrations from their iPhone, whether for personal or medical reasons. Thanks to a special accessibility feature, you can completely disable all vibrations on your iPhone, including those caused by emergency alerts. Here's how.

First, a Disclaimer

Normally, you can disable most vibrations on your iPhone in the "Settings" app under the "Sound & Haptics" section. There you can decide whether you want your iPhone to "Vibrate On Ring" or "Vibrate On Silent." But even if you turn those off, your iPhone still might vibrate if you receive an emergency alert for an extreme weather event, natural disaster, or a missing person.

Emergency alerts can be disabled separately, but for some people who might want to leave them on, any vibration at all can be annoying and unnecessary. In that case, you can disable all vibrations on your iPhone completely. Just be aware that once you turn them off, you will no longer receive warning vibrations from emergency alerts.

https://www.howtogeek.com/232505/how-to-disable-emergency-alerts-on-your-smartphone/

How to Completely Disable All Vibrations on iPhone

First, open "Settings."

Tap the "Settings" icon on iPhone

In Settings, navigate to "Accessibility."

Tap Accessibility in Settings on iPhone or iPad

In Accessibility, tap "Touch."

Tap Touch in Settings on iPhone or iPad

In Touch settings, scroll down and tap the switch labeled "Vibration" to turn it off.

In iPhone Settings, tap the "Vibration" swtich.

After that, your iPhone will no longer vibrate no matter what the cause. If you ever want vibrations back, just revisit the "Vibration" switch in "Touch" settings and flip it back on.

Be aware that this setting does not affect the micro-shakes and vibrations caused by haptic feedback in the iPhone. If those are a problem, you can disable haptics by visiting Settings > Sounds & Haptics and turning off the switch beside "System Haptics" near the bottom of the page.
