Have you ever found yourself lost in the labyrinth of files and folders on your computer?

Ever spend ages clicking through files just to see what's inside?

Do you crave a more efficient way to preview content without opening each file?

Here's a Cool Tip. Use the simple yet powerful shortcut: Alt+P.

In Windows, pressing Alt + P toggles the display of the preview pane in File Explorer.

This allows you to view the contents of a selected file, such as an image or document, without having to open it in a separate application.

It’s a handy shortcut for quickly viewing files and managing your documents more efficiently.

Here's how to do it.

Open Windows File Explorer.
Navigate to the folder containing your files.
Select a file you wish to preview.
Press Alt+P to toggle the Preview Pane.
The selected file’s preview will appear on the right side of the window.

This saves time, enhances workflow and reduces the need for multiple windows.

Of course, you can always click the "Preview" in the top right of the screen too.
