Last Updated on: September 16, 2020 by Ramesh

Sometimes we may need to copy a file or folder path from your email or chat window to the clipboard, and open the file or folder manually. Most people open the file or folder by launching the Run dialog, pasting the path from the Clipboard, and clicking OK.

If your job involves doing this sort of task repeatedly, manually opening the Run dialog and pasting the path every time can be tedious. You can simplify this using a keyboard shortcut (hotkey) with the help of a small AutoHotKey (AHK) script.

How to Batch Convert Excel Sheets into PDF Files

Last Updated on: April 18, 2025 by Ramesh

Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets are commonly used to store financial data and prepare invoices. Often, you may need to convert the .xls or .xlsx files to .pdf format especially if you’re sending out invoices to your clients.

Microsoft Excel has a built-in option using which you can save your workbook, active sheet, or selected cells to a PDF file. This can be accomplished using the Save as… dropdown box.

By clicking on the More options… link, you can configure the page range, and the item to export (entire workbook, active sheet, etc) to PDF.

Another option would be to use the Microsoft Print to PDF driver in Windows 10 to output the .xls or .xlsx file to a .pdf document. For this, you’d use the Print option (instead of Save as) to print the document to PDF.

Pre-Windows 10 systems don’t have the Microsoft Print to PDF driver. As an alternative. you can use the free CutePDF Writer or Foxit PDF Printer (part of Foxit PDF Reader software.)

How to Clear or Flush Google Chrome DNS Cache

Last Updated on: August 2, 2023 by Ramesh

Domain Name System (DNS) is the address book of the Internet. Web browsers interact through Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. DNS translates domain names to IP addresses so browsers can load Internet resources.

Windows caches the DNS records for a considerable time. This cache can be cleared by running the command ipconfig /flushdns. Other than this, your web browser like Google Chrome maintains a separate DNS cache mechanism.

Why do you need to clear the browser DNS cache?

System administrators often find times where they need to redirect the domains by editing the host file, in order to override any DNS records for a domain name. However, every time you want to change a hostname to a different IP, you needed to close the browser before the change will take effect. This can get tedious if you have too many browser tabs or windows open.
When doing web development or other work that requires changing the web hosting IP in the HOSTS file for testing purposes, you needed to restart the web browser every time for the new host to IP mappings to take effect.

However, with Google Chrome, you can clear the internal DNS cache without closing and reopening the browser. This post tells you how to clear the internal DNS cache of the Google Chrome browser without restarting Google Chrome.
