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.
