Dans Geek Stop

Welcome to Dans Geek Stop. This site is built around simple, practical tech help: the kind of stuff you can use right away without needing a computer science degree (or a 45-minute video).

A lot of the content is Windows-focused, but many ideas carry over to other operating systems: good habits, good tools, good workflows.

What you’ll find here

  • Hot Keys: shortcuts that save time every single day.
  • Data Storage: how to store files safely and share them cleanly.
  • Free Apps: legitimate software that’s free for personal use (no sketchy downloads).
  • Google Services: practical tips for common Google tools and accounts.
  • Security: basic steps that reduce risk without turning life into paranoia.
  • Projects: notes, how-tos, and small builds as they get added.
  • Local Business: community info and helpful local resources (as available).

How to use this site

  • Use the navigation bar at the top to jump to a section.
  • If you’re not sure where to start, hit Hot Keys first.
  • Bookmark the pages you actually use. That’s the whole point.

Quick note: if a page links to a third-party website, that’s just a reference or a tool. Always download software from official sources when possible.
