每週我們都會在我們的小貼士包裡與您分享一些方便的讀者小貼士。本週我們將介紹一些技巧，幫助您在Linux和Windows安裝之間共享資料夾，升級您的Canon韌體，一種清潔鍵盤的簡單方法。

使用符號連結協調雙引導系統

Fodaro以他在雙啟動Windows和Fedora方面的經驗寫道：

I read your article on harmonizing a Windows/Ubuntu dual-boot setup before I bought a Dell laptop that I was planning to install Ubuntu on. However, when it came I discovered that it already had two other partiti*** beside the Windows one (a recovery partition, and one that displayed a license agreement), so I fit in a common partition. I thought I’d share my solution with you, in case some other Linux users find it helpful.

First, I set the Windows partition to auto-mount when I booted up, for which I used the ntfs-config package from the Software Centre.

Then I tried modifying .config/user-dirs.dirs as you showed in your article, but it didn’t work for some reason, so instead I deleted some of the folders in my home directory and replaced them with symbolic links. For example, after deleting the Documents folder (after checking that it was empty, of course), I launched terminal in my home directory and typed:

ln -sf “/media/OS/Users/Fodaro/Documents” Documents

This created a link to my Windows documents folder in place of the Documents folder in my home directory. So if a program tries to save or open a file at ~/Documents/hello.txt, it will still work, but Linux will direct it to /media/OS/Users/Fodaro/Documents/hello.txt instead. I repeated this process for some other folders in my home directory, like Pictures, Music, Videos etc., so that all of my data can be kept in one place.

感謝您用Fodaro撰寫本文；我們相信其他讀者也會發現自己處於類似的情況，並將從您的提示中獲益。

升級佳能相機韌體

比爾在信中為佳能相機使用者提供了一個很好的建議：

This website has software (the Canon Hack Development Kit)for a multitude of Canon cameras that gives them features such as; RAW, Bracketing, Motion Detection to capture lightning.  Best of All its not permanent and free. It goes along well with HDR, Tilt Shift, and RAW photography.

CHDK是選擇佳能相機而不是其他DSLR品牌的一個更有說服力的原因。如果你有一個佳能相機，你想擠出更多的生活/更好的功能，我們不能建議點選chdkwiki不夠。一些第三方韌體的功能真是太神奇了。

輕鬆清潔鍵盤

上週我們分享了一個關於你可以用來鎖定鍵盤的軟體的提示框。Leon用他的簡單的無需軟體解決方案寫道：

You do not need to download any software to lock you keyboard for cleaning a Windows machine.  Hold down the Windows key and press the L key.  That will lock you keyboard but allow your mouse to work to unlock it.  First turn the keyboard over and jiggle it on the desk top.  Hold it up a couple of inches above the desk and drop it.  It won’t hurt the key board and will dislodge lots of tiny stuff in between the keys.  Then do your wipe down and use the mouse to turn the keyboard back on.

我們以前也用過Win+L技巧，但要預先警告的是，如果你用酒精擦拭或類似的東西用力擦拭鍵盤，就有可能搗碎正確的按鍵組合來重啟電腦。不是說我們以前做過。尋找一個更深入的清潔會議？看看我們這裡的導遊。
