Moderators hazelnut Posted January 27, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2013 A little thing you can do which will allow you to access things from the desktop without having to install a 3rd party add-on is this. Right-click in the very left hand corner of your taskbar (I don't mean on the start screen popup) Hover over where it says 'toolbars' and tick Desktop. Over at the other side of the taskbar you will now see two arrows >> beside the word desktop. Click on arrows and this is what you get. (Easily unticked if you don't want it) So this means most areas of your pc are accessible via those 2 little arrows, even your program files Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators mta Posted January 27, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2013 I found something similar when trying to get to grips with the new Win8 UI. Hit the Windows key + X (something new they have introduced) (I have found myself using the keyboard a lot more with Win8, especially Alt+F4 to get out of things) Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Winapp2.ini Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I meant to post this earlier, thought I did but the forums went down. You can skip directly to the desktop view from the start screen (even without having launched the desktop yet) with the WIN+D hotkey. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Noticed that about newer Windows OSs. They keep certain info out of the publics' knowledge so their nerdier fanbois can 'find Easter Eggs' with keyboard shortcuts. (This is not a dis. It's an old marketing ploy.)

Winapp2.ini Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 What windows 8 needs more than anything is a tutorial. My friend got a new win8 laptop and he was complaining about a few things, and decided he likes it a lot more once I showed him how to do the things in the way you're meant to (for him, it was specially showing him the shutdown procedure from the charms menu, and how to search in the start screen) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators hazelnut Posted January 28, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2013 If you have downloaded an .iso file just right click on it and select mount, it will then open in a virtual drive. (you need to do this first via file explorer so the file association gets set for explorer) If you feel the need to do a 'cold' boot, just select 'reboot' from shutdown options. You will then get the traditional cold boot.

Moderators Augeas Posted January 31, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 31, 2013 After a new laptop arrived with Win8 I've upgraded my ancient Dell desktop to match. There's nothing you want to do in Win8 that can't be solved with 30 mins on Google. On initial setup I set both pc's to Auto Update Off. This had no effect, and soon the laptop received the awful Browser Choice app, which can't be disabled or uninstalled or the update backed out. So I set both pc's to 'Check but let me chose to download and install'. Today on the Dell I noticed that the power-off choice is power off or restart to apply updates, so I looked again at the Update settings and it had reverted to Auto Update. I've switched Auto Update off again and the power off has gone back to restart or power off. Has anyone else experienced this behaviour? And if so how to stop it? I may chose no downloads at all in the hope of stopping it. In the update history there is a list of updates in pending restart status. I think it's too late to stop these as it says Installed. I can't remove or do anything with them. Any help, or should I just roll over? (Edited to correct update option description) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators hazelnut Posted February 1, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2013 Do a restart from the power shutdown options (not a shutdown) The updates have to go in and if you don't restart within a certain timeframe the machine may do it for you Do the browser choice (eg IE) and then it will leave you alone. You will know when it has 'taken' as the choice browser window will say 'you are now using the latest' Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark) ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

Moderators hazelnut Posted February 1, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2013 To make sure all links open in the desktop version of IE10, go to Internet Options in the Control Panel and under the programs tab use the little dropdown arrow (where it says choose how you open links in Internet explorer) to select desktop IE and then click apply.

Moderators Augeas Posted February 1, 2013 Moderators Share Posted February 1, 2013 Most peculiar. My Windows Update status is still 'Check but let me chose to download and install', for which I am truly grateful, but the list of updates that yesterday were in a state of Installed, waiting restart, have now changed to Succeeded. I have powered off and on again overnight, but not restarted, and there was no indication that the updates were being applied. Furthermore the dreaded Browser Choice app is not installed. I'm beginning to well, like Windows 8, but I have no idea what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
