  1. When you buy a new PC, what is the quickest way to set yourself up as Administrator right from the start during your first install or initial set-up? I think I've done it purely by accident this past decade, but I'd like to know the real way to do it so I don't have to struggle with it later on.

  2. Well, for Firefox (the only browser I use these days) I backup my bookmarks, add-ons, etc. with MozBackup. It's a simple small free app. Firefox needs to be off while you make backups with MozBackup. It takes less than a minute for me. Save your backup(s) in a new folder in your Documents folder. It's very easy.

  3. 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.)

  4. Thanks for your posts Hazelnut. If I were a 12 year old girl I'd think Windows 8 was made just for me! :lol: What you have as your desktop image...I've seen that artists' work before at Jay Is Games (Casual Gameplay). The big font in the PC Settings column. :wacko: The whole theme looks like it was geared toward kids in 7th grade. (You know, the Occupy Wall Street crowd, twiddle fingers and chanting and all.)

  5. My start screen changes quite a lot as I try different things out. At the moment the way I have it set up I can use most of the things I use and need without going to the desktop to do it.

     

    I made most of the Microsoft start screen tiles smaller and moved them all to the other side of the screen :)

     

    P.S. I really like how when if you hold the Windows key down when you press the print screen button it automagically saves a full screen mode shot in a folder called Screenshots in your pictures library

     

    Your attached thumbnail does't get 'quoted' here, but I'm referring to it. What are the color limitations of the tiles? Can you access the color picker to change their colors, or are they limited to the standard 4 to 5 bland colors on highschool textbook covers I saw in the 1970s? :huh:
