Windows 8 試用

Windows8 Release Preview == win8

0. 新的 Start Menu , 又稱  Start Screen  個人覺得可以叫 Start Mosaic .
1. PC settings  等同 Control Panel

2. turn on Client Hyper-V feature (win8 rp 內建了非server版的HyperV, 稱為 Client HyperV)
  a. Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features.
  b. Click Turn Windows features on or off.
  c. Click Hyper-V -> OK
  d. virtmgmt.msc
  e. virtual switch (虛擬網卡binding 實體網卡)
3. 以admin 權限開啟cmd prompt ,取消hibernate
c:\> powercfg /hibernate off

4. 取消 發生錯誤時自動重開機 的設定
Computer-> System Properties -> Advanced -> Startup and Recovery
-> settings -> system failure -> unchk Automatically restart

5.  win8 開機失敗時, 重開機 -> F8 -> Enable low-resolution video(F3)

6. 學習使用基本的bcdedit

7. add dangerous sites to IE's restricted sites

8. shortcuts to  Windows Update / Windows defender

rdp 無法使用winlogo flag key

以 rdp 連接 win8 時, winlogo 快捷鍵 無法作用 ,
想存取舊的Start Menu 或者開啟 cmd console/notepad/wordpad/ ...
就只好拉捷徑(dragging/send to desktop   to create shortcut)


C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories

System Tools 目錄下有cmd console, control panel, run, ...
Accessories 目錄下有 rdp, notepad, ...

產生shortcut 後 , right-click on shortcut (在shortcut 上 按滑鼠右鍵)
-> pin to start , 在新的start screen 右側就會加入對應的icon
-> pin to taskbar, ...

聯想到 shortcut/.lnk file/shell link, symbolic link 有何差異?
.lnk 檔案格式乃Windows 自己訂的 ...

Windows logo 快捷鍵 for Windows-8

最近趕流行 試用Windows 8 Release Preview
[developer preview -> consumer preview -> release preview ?]

因為metro style 移除了舊的Start Button/Start Menu
被迫重新發現了 Windows logo 快捷鍵
[大部分的鍵盤上有個微軟Windows Logo 的按鍵, 又稱Windows key, flag key, start key ...]
在此簡稱 winlogo;

winlogo  + r : run [執行/搜尋應用程式]
winlogo + e : explorer  [開啟 file explorer]


winlogo  + r ,  notepad
winlogo  + r ,  cmd
winlogo  + r ,  taskmgr
winlogo  + r ,  control   [開啟 control panel]
winlogo  + r , diskmgmt
...

有網路文章說
winlogo  + r ,  cmd , 按下ctl+shift+enter 可用 admin 權限開啟
命令列視窗(command line console) , 但我沒試成功 ...
