I have two machines on Windows 8 x64. One runs headless and 24/7 just for downloads and has a new Intel ethernet card while my PC uses on-board. For some reason the rdp connection is always available to me, but if a couple hours or sometimes just a while should pass without me accessing the...

I noticed Remote Desktop currently seems to depend on reaching my Verizon gigabit router and was just wondering, is it even possible to have it operate off a switch alone? I'd also like to have it avoid the router even when it's on the network.

The Windows 7 method for removing the homegroup icon from the navigation pain doesn't seem to work, even though the extremely similar method for the libraries icon does. Has anyone managed to remove it? I don't feel like disabling homegroups, Microsoft made setting up a network too annoying...

I love Metro, but I think booting into it is worse for me than if the Start menu were hanging open everytime you booted 7. I have to say this is an additional step that makes it feel a bit forced, a bit in the user's face. Has anyone figured out how to go straight to the dekstop?

I was testing out Windows 8's remote desktop connection and ran into the basic problem that my little craptop pinched and shrunk all my window size settings on the actual desktop pc. Kind of frustrating since I had everything just so. Now I'm sure in past versions you could choose to pan and...

Something I've installed on both computers (perhaps ACDSee Pro Image Viewer) has knocked compressedfolder association away. I never had this complication with Windows 7. Worse, the old assoc .zip=CompressedFolder in command prompt isn't working either, I definitely did it right. Can anyone think...

Now that I've installed Windows 8 on both my desktop and laptop, I'm impressed by some of the new account syncing abilities. However I hate that I change the wallpaper on my tiny laptop and not 10 seconds later my huge desktop monitor is in the loop, with the low res wallpaper stretched across...

I'm having a strange issue with Firefox in Windows 8. I was seeing it from the start, just with Firefox so far, before I installed the Nvidia driver or any add-ons and still after. I also installed system updates and rebooted a few times since. It variously glitches out tab colors and more. I...
