Open a network drive with different user At the command line you can run net use * /d /y - that'll cause Windows to forget any cached credentials you have to an open network share. I typically have a shortcut that points to cmd.exe with -k net use * /d /y as arguments for this very reason. |

Could a laptop switch off even if it isn't overheating? What about other components? Chipset temperatures, battery temperatures, etc. |

Win8 consent.exe “File system error -1073741819” I've seen some really goofy problems for this with sound codecs. consent.exe plays a sound when it pops up, and if you have a bad audio driver, consent crashes. Try booting into safe mode and turning off your audio drivers. |

Is there any way to run a legacy 16-bit Windows program on Mac? What OS was it designed to run on? Perhaps it would work in DOSBox if it was designed to run in DOS. |

Disable Windows 8 Charms Bar top-right reveal corner I don't think you can do that, what you can do is disable the mouse shortcut all together and use Win+C to show the Charms bar when you need it. |

Is there a way to diagnose Windows & hang when trying to sleep, intermittently The most common of this is a driver that doesn't property (or takes a long time) to respond to the OS's request to sleep. I suppose you could start by looking for driver updates. Worst case you can disable non-critical devices and enabled them one by one to find the culplrit. |

What is the Windows 7 equivalent of bash's “export PS1” to set prompt color As far as I know, no cmd.exe does not offer that, though that works just fine in PowerShell. |

Disable Narrator shortcut key in windows 8 @avirk The bounty is "One or more of the answers is exemplary and worthy of an additional bounty." I was really happy to find this, so in 24 hours (when I can award the bounty) I'll give it to the accepted answer (which worked well enough for me). Sometimes I find an answer that is really worth more than an upvote. This is one of those times. |

How Do I Disable Microsoft Translator in Internet Explorer? "Does this solves the issue?" Yes. I had never thought to check Add Ins or things link that since this was a bare Windows 8 install. It seems that it got installed somehow, or came pre-installed. |

How Do I Disable Microsoft Translator in Internet Explorer? @Ramhound I disagree. I believe IE is doing this, similar how Google Chrome will show things in Google Translate if it detects content in a foreign language. I looked at source of the HTML and wasn't able to find that. I also tried loading the window in Chrome (even though the JavaScript doesn't work), and it didn't try to reach microsofttranslator.com. At least the DOM was able to load. It would also be insanely stupid of Cisco to put translation code in their Web GUI. |
