每周一次，我们都会把读者的邮袋倒出来，和你分享一些方便的读者提示。本周我们将通过点击快速调整windows的大小，更改windows中的默认下载目录，以及一些DIY咖啡烘焙技巧。

使用sizer快速调整窗口大小

卡尔佩什在信中提到了两条妙招，而不是一条。当您想快速调整窗口大小以设置大小时，第一种方法很有用：

The biggest problem with 1920×1080 monitors is working on two webpage (or any other narrow items) side by side. Windows Aero helps lot but 90% of sites are best viewable in width of 1041 pixels. I found this great app called Sizer;  it allows users to resize any window to the desired resolution in two clicks. It helps a lot when using Explorer (the file browser) and viewing webpages side by side. Here is the link. It’s only 16kb in size!

我们带着Sizer转了一圈。它很小，能如约交货。运行应用程序，任何时候你右击应用程序窗口的右下角，你都会看到一个类似于上面截图中的菜单。它附带这三个值作为默认值，但您可以右键单击Sizer的系统托盘图标，编辑大小，删除它们，然后添加新的大小。

更改下载文件夹的默认位置

下面是卡尔佩什的第二个建议：

I don’t like manually changing my default download location for the different web browsers and download managers I use. Some allow you to change the default, some don’t, and others periodically forget. I searched out a registry value for the default download location and changed that to great success. Here’s how you do it:

Open your registry editor (go to the run box and type regedit) then navigate to this registry entry: “Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders” Look for the entry which has a value of “%USERPROFILE%\Downloads” and change the value to your location. In my case I changed it to “D:\Downloads”. Now you don’t have to worry about programs not remembering your alternate download location as the default value is where you want your files.

谢谢你的一对二特别Kalpesh；这两个技巧都很有用。

自学家庭烧烤

阿尼尔写了一些咖啡烘焙技巧：

I saw your DIY coffee roasting article earlier today. Nice to see a coffee article on the HTG, I’m sure we all drink a lot of it! Geek pride and all. Anyways, I thought it might be helpful to fellow readers if they got a little extra info about roasting their own coffee. It’s not hard but a little extra knowledge goes a long way towards not ruining perfectly good coffee beans. Sweet Maria’s is a stop for many home roasters to get green beans (in fact the photos in that Craft article you shared about DIY roasting have a few bags of Sweet Maria’s coffee sitting around )they also have a home roasting guide. It has more than enough information to help people get started roasting. They also have a coffee library full of interesting articles about coffee. I also found it really helpful to check out roasting “color” charts when I first got started like this one, this one, and this one (if you want a super detailed guide there’s one with a video in the Sweet Maria’s library). Since the only coffee I’d seen before trying to roast my own had all seemed uniformly brown it really helped to see what the different roast stages looked like.

很有见地，阿尼尔。当我们在HTG办公室进行一些DIY烘焙时，我们肯定会重新访问这些资源。

有什么小窍门可以分享吗？不管是关于软件、硬件，还是一般的极客生活，给我们发一封电子邮件吧[email protected]在头版上找。
