In the same way you use a remote control for your TV, you can also use a
 phone or tablet to control your computer. How you do this depends on 
whether you use an Android or iOS device. Using a remote control for 
your PC is really handy if you play music or watch catch-up TV on it. 
Here’s how to set things up on both types of device. Android

 to your Android device and select your computer from the list of 
servers and tap Remotes to see all the controllers available.</div>

The Basic Input remote turns your phone or tablet into a trackpad and 
keyboard for your computer. Where Unifi ed Remote really comes into its 
own is as a controller for your music and videos. Th e free version 
includes remote controls for VLC Media Player, Windows Media Center, 
Windows Media Player, Spotify and YouTube. Use the Basic Input remote to
 open your video or music software and then open the relevant remote 
control. Th ere are controls for pausing and playing music and video, 
skipping tracks and turning the volume up or down - just like on a TV or
 hi-fi remote. </div>

Run Command Prompt as administrator With shortcut

Saturday, August 01, 2015 Shahid 0

<br />
If you use Windows 7, you'll know that you occasionally need to run 
Command Prompt as an administrator for commands to work. It's easy to 
forget this until it's too late. To avoid making the same mistake over 
and over again, why not make a shortcut that opens the console as an 
administrator every time?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
To do this, type command prompt into the Start menu, right-click it and 
select Properties and Shortcut. From this tab, choose Advanced, tick 
‘Run as administrator’ and click OK and Apply. You can then copy the 
target and use this for the shortcut location.</div>

See a notification whenever you switch caps (Windows 7, 8, 8.1)

<br />
Some keyboards have small light indicators for the Caps Lock key. If you
 don’t have one of these keyboards and tend to use that key a lot (to 
type your passwords in upper and lower case, for example), then you 
should install the free tool Keyboard Indicator. This displays a small 
icon on your Taskbar that tells you whether your Caps Lock is on or off.<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a>First of all <a href="http://roidayan.com/keyboard-indicator/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">download it</a>,
 go to and click the ‘Download Keyboard Indicator v1.6.0.1’ link. Next, 
click the downloaded zipped file, open the folder inside, click the 
‘KeyboardIndicator. exe’ setup file, then click Run. You’ll now see a 
small blue or pink ‘A’ icon in your Taskbar.  If the icon is blue it 
means that Caps Lock is off.<br />

A pink icon denotes it’s on. Whenever you press the Caps Lock key, 
you’ll see a notification at the bottom right of your PC (see screenshot
 above) and the icon will change colour accordingly.</div>

Stop your PC automatically rebooting (Windows 7, 8, 8.1)

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every few weeks your PC automatically downloads important system updates
 in the background. You’re then prompted to install them by restarting 
your PC. You can choose to delay the restart by selecting a time (from 
‘10 minutes’ to ‘4 hours’) from the dropdown menu. After that time 
elapses, your PC will automatically reboot.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re working on something important and need to continue using your
 PC beyond four hours, then there’s an easy way to bypass this automatic
 reboot using the Command Prompt. You first need to open it as an 
Administrator. To do that, press the Windows key, type cmd, press 
Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then Yes (to confirm you want to open the Command 
Prompt as Admin). Now type the following command net stop “windows 
update”, into the Command Prompt (see screenshot below), then press 
Enter.</div>
