Often access to shared resources that require you to enter a user name and password and this is repeated for each subsequent access.

Sometimes it would be nice to speed up the operation or even to enter only the username and password is default.

For Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7 you can use the system utilities:

cmdkey

that allows you to maintain multiple combinations of usernames and passwords to shared resources on the network, keeping them encrypted in the Windows Registry. more »

One of the most annoying things that happen when you're in a hurry and you have to unplug a USB device is to receive the operating system message that says the device can not be disconnected, and attempting, and of course this happens more frequently as you in a hurry.

The temptation to remove the device and go is very strong, but can lead to serious damage to the device's file system, so you need an alternative.

One possibility is Unlocker , an excellent free program to Cedric 'Nitch' Collomb that solves the problem mainly to indicate which application is holding open a file and be able to delete it anyway but it also fixes other locking situations.

If you receive this message and then attempt to safely disconnect a USB device:

you must:

The keyboard is always faster than the mouse, but in some cases it is difficult to remember some key combinations little used, for example those which are used to maximize and minimize a window.

To minimize all open windows you can use the combination ALT + M and to show the desktop is a combination Windows Key + D. This is a switch and can be repeated.

To minimize the active window, press alt + space and then the I (r leaders in icon).

To maximize the active window by pressing alt + space key and then the N (i N grandisci ).

To close the active window by pressing alt + space and then the C key (C ose), but the standard combination Alt + F4 is quicker.

To lock the PC and to request the password you use Windows + L, wanting to create a desktop shortcut for this purpose, you create a link with the name you want and as you enter the following command string:

% Windir% \ system32 \ rundll32.exe user32.dll, LockWorkStation

Another thing not widely known is that you can invoke the context menu (the one that appears by pressing the right mouse button) simply by pressing Shift-F10 after selecting an object.

Every time you download a file from the Internet that receives a marking that identifies it from Windows as a file downloaded and potentially dangerous. So Windows can alert every time you try to launch the file, which can pose a risk. The point lies in those two words - every time. If the downloaded file is an executable that does not need the whole setup becomes quite tedious, especially when under Vista or 7, which also require administrative rights, because in that case the interruption is twice, once for the unknown origin and a time for the usual UAC.

To solve the problem, edit the following registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE to make the change or under HKEY_CURRENT_USER touches every user to apply the change only to themselves.

These are the changes to make.

Before the string: Software \ Microsoft \ Internet Explorer \ Download (create it if it exists) which is assigned the value "No" and then a dword value named RunInvalidSignatures be set to 1.

Then go to the key:

Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Attachments

and create a dword value called SaveZoneInformation - set it to 1

Finally, go to the key: Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Associations

and create a string called LowRiskFileTypes - fill it with extensions that do not want the security warning, separated by ";" as in:

As usual, remember that manipulate the registry is dangerous and should be done only if you feel able to correct any errors and disable the security features of Windows may have negative effects.
