Really i need synergy plus using UltraVNC or TeamViewer ?-Contro (October 18, 2014, 06:13 PM)
No. They have the same functionalities. Pick one. Using more than one can cause all kinds of weird problems since they all access mostly the same interrupts. If this is all for for personal use, go with TeamViewer. It's the easiest to set up, has virtually no reliability issues, is fast, and deals with slow connection speeds really well. TeamViewer is one of the top apps used by tech support people to provide remote customer assistance.
If you like to tinker, go with VNC or Synergy.What i really would like to know is if i need a bios modification for launching the desktop without keyboard or mouse attached, and no monitor....
You can disable the "check for keyboard on startup" in most BIOS settings these days. Just go into the BIOS setup screen (hit F2 or whatever your BIOS uses) and poke around. It'll be in there somewhere. You can also disable onboard video if you want. If you don't want to use a mouse, just don't plug one in. They're mostly USB these days, and there's no point in disabling USB ports just to not use a mouse. Running a PC in a 'headless' configuration is no big deal these days. However...if for some reason your remote connection fails, disabling too much can make it difficult to get back into the PC to troubleshoot things afterwards.

You can install a Google Chrome Extension that will allow you to remote to your other devices.
It's also very useful to access your PC from an Android device.-Deozaan (October 18, 2014, 03:20 PM)

Synergy Plus. That software allows you to share your mouse and keyboard between more than one computer.-Shades (October 18, 2014, 02:29 PM)
What does "accidental execution" mean exactly?
I don't understand what you are trying t accomplish.-MilesAhead (October 13, 2014, 11:40 AM)
I haven't messed around much with policies. But I do have a link with some Registry Tweaks for those who have a Windows version lacking a group polocy editor.

Don't ask me how to use it. I saw it mentioned and it looked like a good link to save.-MilesAhead (October 14, 2014, 06:10 AM)
There is always 'secpol.msc' where you can create software policy rules that can prevent the execution of any *.exe.
If the above terms don't mean anything to you or are not sure about, then you shouldn't attempt the above. At least not without getting to know what policies are and how they can affect the functionality of your Windows installation. It's easy to make a mess there.-Shades (October 13, 2014, 08:03 PM)
What exactly does this line of batch code ? :
for %%a in (*) do start "" "%%a"
I don't recommend to use.
Collapse two times my system.

So you ran a batch file that you didn't have clue what it did? Seems like a totally reasonable and safe things to do...lmao-Stephen66515 (October 12, 2014, 04:45 PM)
It launches EVERY file and folder in the current directory.
I.e. it runs every executable or script files, opens every other file in its respective app and opens an explorer window for every folder.
A little trick to identify what a loop actually does is to insert the word "echo" after "do". This will print out each command instead of executing it:for %%a in (*) do echo start "" "%%a"
Hope that helps!-lujomu (October 12, 2014, 04:41 PM)
I'm not sure how the program would work. But I have a couple of suggestions to do with the issue. If your friend uses Firefox or chrome browser get him to use Privacy Badger AddOn. I haven't tried the chrome one. But for FF you just install it and go with the defaults. No options to set.
Every day when I scanned with SuperAntiSpyware I would have 52 or 53 tracking cookies. After badger I have zero.
The other thing is ToolWiz TimeFreeze. It is free. Set it to start disabled but running when Windows starts. That way you can turn it on manually from the tray icon and you don't have to reboot to turn it off. It uses shadowing to redirect disk writes away from the system partition.
If you want to actually download something just save to another disk or partition.
The TimeFreeze I did notice it running just slightly. But badger you don't feel at all. It just filters out cookies the site doesn't need to run without you having to do anything. No clicking allow this or that. Automatic.-MilesAhead (October 11, 2014, 02:15 PM)
