Hello there, After quite some (google) searches i could still not find if the following existed; I have several machines in the house that keep being nagged by the fact that Windows Optimization/Maintenance keeps getting started in the middle of the night (the machine will wake up but won't go...

Found it. Windows 8 Start menu has to be active to show the right dialog. If you open the charms bar and hit personalize from the desktop you will get the windows personalize dialog.

Anyone?

Hi all, Recently after installing a few new Windows 8.1 machines i have noticed that the possibility to change the background and accent color of the new start screen (and accent colors in other screens) seems to dissapear after you set Windows to boot to desktop (and skip the start screen). As...

@ play2mefish: Thanks alot for the testing! I'm clueless as to why it _would_ work for 1 of the 2 directions/shares and not for the other (funny you seem to have the exact same finding when it comes to that). I guess i am just going to conclude this is a 'security restriction' (or a feature if...

Thanks for all your input. Thing is.. all i really want is a normal Windows share, which any other Windows 7/Windows 8 machine can just open without having to enter credentials. I re-checked all network and share settings several times now its mind boggling to me why i can't get this to work...

1. I tried sharing a folder on Machine B, instead of an external harddrive.. no difference (Windows still asks me to enter credentials). 2. Both machines have different user accounts with different passwords. This is however, plain logic if you ask me. I would like to create an 'open' share on...

Hi, thanks for your response. Both machines are in the exact same network. Same gateway, same subnet, same workgroup (Workgroup). Any other suggestions? :)

Could anyone help me with this, please? I am dying to finish the setup and start using my new mediacenter/homeserver but this is keeping me from it. :)

I just noticed a difference... I made a share on both machines (accessible to 'Everyone'). As mentioned in my first post... Machine B can flawessly access the share on Machine A. The other way around, i keep getting asked to put in credentials. The share on Machine B, does concern a shared...

Is this a specific setting for saving the credentials in this case? I would just like to make an 'open' share in the network which everyone can just access without being bothered to enter any credentials. This should work if i share a drive or folder with Reading permissions to "Everyone" right...

Hi there, I just bought a new Intel NUC which i installed a clean and fully updated Windows 8.1 Pro on. I want to create a networkshare on this machine, which everyone can just access (read permissions) to view the content of a folder or drive. I am trying to access the drive on another (my...

Some nice and clean desktops around here... i like it too that way. :)

Hey, Thanks for the reply. I decided to make a custom orb that fits my menu bar exactly (3 rows high, all small icons). I gave it the look of the default Windows 8 start button. I'll live with this! :)

Anyone else have an idea perhaps? :)
