Hi
While looking for a way to solve the missing Windows 8 password in relation to a post on the support forum I found this video....
I decided to give it a try myself, since it seemed like something that could be useful.
I made a CD and booted my computer to Mini Windows XP.
I booted right up, and I thought this is great, except I found that the tools icon shown in the video wasn't available on the desktop.
In fact I found that I couldn't do anything from the desktop, I appeared to have no access to anything in my computer.
No file manager, no way to access anything except the command prompt.
I tried the Run Window, and could not access msconfig etc.
So my question is, has anyone here had any experience with this?
Anyone know why my desktop didn't' have active menus like the one in the video?
About the only thing I could do was to shut it down again, I couldn't access any of the tools that you are supposed to run from it.
