Hello everyone. First of all, I'm sorry if this has been addressed already, but I've had a good look and couldn't see a solution anywhere. I currently have Windows 8 installed on my ssd (drive C) with program and user files on drive E where there is more space for large documents and software...

Folks, I've joined this forum for a couple reasons. Foremost is that I don't believe that Microsoft is interested in anything I have to say. Secondly, I'm using Windows 7 at my office and on my main personal computer and, after getting a new laptop with Windows 8, I realize that I have to...

Here is the problem. I'm an IT pro and I'm in the process of creating Windows 8 Pro (64-bit) images for my workplace using audit mode (i have done this countless times on windows 7). The problem is, the 'Change PC settings' button does NOT work when I click on it in audit mode. Nothing happens...

I have a new install of Windows 8 Home and am trying to log in to a network share. The problem is that it is trying to force me to log in with PCname\username and the share is expecting only uname. If I click on the change username button it is still forcing me to use PCname\username and wont...

As I'm sure many of you already know, older Windows versions 95/98/XP had a way of soft-rebooting Windows; it essentially allowed you to reboot the system without actually turning the machine off. In the older versions, I believe you just held the shift button down after clicking Restart until...
