Windows & Active Directory Users : Clear saved Windows networking passwords

Clear saved windows networking passwords

From time to time, I need to clear or reset a saved password to a network share. When I connect to a remote computer and click the Remember Password checkbox, it gets stored somewhere… this command will help you manage those passwords:

 

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll, KRShowKeyMgr

 

This will popup a little application, with all those shares where you saved the password, and let you clear them one by one.

How to change Shutdown button in Windows 7 and VISTA

 

Change Windows 7 Shutdown Button

Windows 7 makes it really easy – just head into the Start Menu / Taskbar preferences by right-clicking on the start menu and choosing Properties.

All you need to do is change the drop-down for Power Button Action to whatever you would prefer.

Change Windows Vista Power Buttons
You can configure this setting easily by using the advanced power settings panel, which is a little tricky to get to normally, but we’ll take the shortcut.

Open a command prompt (type cmd into the start menu search bar), and then type in the following:

powercfg.cpl,1

You could also take the long route (Control Panel \ Power Options \ Change Plan Settings \ Change Advanced Power Settings)

Once you get to this dialog, browse down as shown to “Power buttons and lid”

From here, you can change the options:

• Power button action – Changes the hardware power button action
• Start menu power button – Changes the power button on the Start Menu

You can change the power button to either Sleep, Hibernate or Shut Down, or even nothing for the hardware power button.
