notepad= notepad++

I preferred to use Visual Studio Code instead.

It's just a steam and video machine. The one-liner quick installs with chocolatey as he likely does is best in that case. No need to get fancy.

I have not dealt with this much, however I have seen sharing groups get their members removed completely.

Okay so figured it out with this guide.

From Windows administrative Powershell

ssh-keygen
type C:\Users\<username>\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | ssh user@linuxserver 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'

Exit administrative Powershell

Open Powershell

ssh user@linuxserver

Logged in.

Is there any alternative to home group now that it isn't available on Windows 10? Also why would you use workgroup instead of Windows Domain? Is it a cost issue?

"Home Group" was just a fancy name for network sharing without AD on Windows computers.

This may be basic but, can cookies damage your system in anyway? It's one of those things that a lot of sites require you to accept, and an average user just accepts them.

So the cookie itself is just a text file. A tiny one. That's it. So the cookie itself does nothing.

The issues are if the cookie has something in the text and a browser reads it and does something it shouldn't because of it. But realistically, that's not going to happen.

The main concerns around cookies are that they help people to track you, but you need to be tracked. We've been conditioned to thinking that being tracked is a bad thing, but cookies are what lets us track you from post to post here in RoIT for example.

Pretty useful stuff. I played around with some of the commands on my laptop.

Very useful tool, specially when computer gets freeze.

@brianwinkelmann said in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

what about the Windows Defender, I mean the antivirus and the firewall of Windows They go hand in hand right?

They go together as in they are both security components of the Windows operating system. But that's about the extent of it. They are both very good, they should both always be used, they are both for the purpose of security. But they are not actually associated other than in name.

Most of these tools I have used at least once doing support on computers.

@brianwinkelmann said in Microsoft Command Line Tools - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

Very Very Interesting, but the most important, this Command Line Tools are useful specially when you work remotely.

Or to be ready for when you suddenly half to!

Although they make you more efficient all of the time.

@brianwinkelmann said in Installing and Upgrading Windows - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

Interesting! I just wonder if it is possible for example to copy or move a complete installation of Windows to another disk just copying the files, is that possible? I mean like copy for example the whole C:\Windows folder to another folder on another disk D:\Windows and try to boot the Operative system? Well I don't know if my question is a bit dumb, sorry if it is.

No, you can't just copy the files. You have to image the system.

@brianwinkelmann said in Windows in the Enterprise - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

Very Interesting, but I would like to check comments from other users about this features mentioned on the video, I mean all of them work properly and are useful at all? or there are another alternative like application or devices that can challenge with the features mentioned on the video? Well I just wonder.

Which features or apps do you mean?

Very Interesting, I like Windows 10 xD

@brianwinkelmann said in An Overview of Windows 8 and 8.1 - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

Interesting, I didn't know Windows 8 has many features, but I don't think I can consider install Windows 8 in a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with 3 GB RAM.

You should not consider ANY old OS, really ever. Outside of learning what support used to look like, which is effectively worthless, conceptually using an old OS is a bad idea. Windows 8, especially, is only one generation newer than Windows 7 which is already crazy old. Windows 8 is something like eleven versions old already!

@brianwinkelmann said in An Overview of Windows 7 - CompTIA A+ 220-1002 Prof Messer:

@scottalanmiller Ohh I see it is a good Idea to try LINUX!

Yes, very good time. Something light. Because there are so few resources.

Try this..

@manxam so much longer, though. I had checked that out, but find the other to be better.

However if you are writing a script to fill out a form, I can see this being handier.
