Daily backups - For each day of the work week I've created a backup folder on my file server. I backup each day to a different folder and thus have 4 earlier backups available to me. This way, if I happen to lose an important document but don't realize it for a couple of days, I have not overwritten it and can still locate it in an earlier backup folder...

Put any of your QuicKeys shortcuts on timers so they can work even if you aren't there... schedule a system back-up to occur at 2 a.m. when you’re snug in bed!

Weekly backups - Each week I create a larger backup than what I make daily. I have 4 separate weekly backup folders for the same reason I have unique daily backup folders, greater redundancy!...

If you always do the same set of actions each time you open a program (for example open multiple files or arrange windows) create a QuicKeys Action to perform these tasks automatically using a timed trigger (x seconds after startup) scoped to the desired program.

Everyone has a few folders they need to access regularly. Instead of manually navigating through your hard drive every time, create a QuicKeys Action to do it for you. For this example, create an action that will open your Documents folder when you press a hot key.

When you save a document for the first time you have to tell the application you are where you want to put the file by navigating through your folder hierarchy. Use QuicKeys to automate the process of changing the destination folder when saving...

Make your own toolbar, complete with an icon for each of your favorite programs. Clicking the toolbar launches the program, and you don’t have to wade through the Start menu or folder hierarchy to launch them.

Files can be locked and unlocked by QuicKeys with a single hot key or mouse click. This is valuable when you want to lock a batch or original images to ensure that modifications are only made to copies.
