Still a lot to learn

I just registered to get a WindowsPhone 7 developer account and in this process they send you an email. So normally you have to click on some link to confirm that you got the mail, and this is the same case here. But the guys over at Microsoft wrote the email in such a way that it first goes into your spam folder and then Thunderbird tell you it is scam because they have html links in it that point to other urls as they are displaying.


The display

and in real they goto

All I can say to that is "idiots"

Windows 7

We got my mum a Acer ONE for Christmas and I spent one whole day trying to set it up so that it would sort of work, as it came with Windows 7. After removing all the shit that Acer seam to think you need I spent another few hours going to different web-sites and downloading flash, acrobat, etc ... and mostly waiting. As a last task I wanted to replace the background image with a picture of my family. How would you go about of doing this? I spend 30 min looking in different menu items and trying to find this one thing. After doubting my intelligence I asked Google and guess what. It is not possible, in Windows starter it is not possible to replace the background image. Hahah how about that? You spend 400 Euros on a PC and you can't even change the background image. Money well spend I would say. Now my mum will enjoy Ubuntu. What a stupid decision, I was really thinking Mic$osft was on the right way but this just blows it. Only retards would use something like that.

Howto reset your Windows Vista password

On my laptop I had forgotten my password because I always use the finger print reader. And I never really needed it because windows, once you are logged in, never really prompts you for it. But today I needed it and I didn't know it. So what do you do? Here are some simple steps.

1. Create another user account with Admin rights
2. Log in as that user
3. Change your `real` user password
4. Log in as your `real` user and delete the other account

Viola, password reset without knowing it. Thank you to Paul for this tip. Quite simple but I would have never thought about it.
