Now that I've finnaly moved to doing some development/support work for Windows 2008 I find myself annoyed by the lack of one feature I just can't enable: the desktop shortcut to "My Computer" I've grown used to. I know how to enable this on XP and 2003, but I just can't find the setting on 2008.
How can a user configure which desktop icons (My Computer, My Documents, Recycling Bin etc) on Windows 2008 Server?
Right click on the Computer menu item on the start menu, and select 'Show on Desktop' from the context menu that pops up.
Create a Registry Editor file (.reg file) with the following content, and import it into the Registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\HideDesktopIcons\NewStartPanel]
"{F02C1A0D-BE21-4350-88B0-7367FC96EF3C}"=dword:00000000
"{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"=dword:00000000

Microsoft released Windows terminal as a Microsoft Store app. How to add it to the context menu or replace 'Open Powershell window here' with it ?
There might have been several approaches discussed everywhere, but none of them is up-to-date nor offers flexibility. So I started a new open source project and provided two PowerShell scripts to help.
https://github.com/lextm/windowsterminal-shell
You can run install.ps1 as administrator in PowerShell 7 to easily add the default layout.
There are other layouts (mini and flat at this moment).
Uninstall the menu items are also easy with uninstall.ps1.
The Win-X Menu shortcuts are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX and in the Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ShellCompatibility\InboxApp part of the registry, but the file explorer option is the one that really dictates what happens in the Win-X menu. I do not suggest just adding and changing stuff in the WinX folder because you could mess things up, however, the winaero.com/comment.php?comment.news.30 app in the link provides a way in which you wouldn't mess it up. Either way, you should put "%programfiles%\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.11.1121.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe" in either a shortcut in the WinX folder, or in the app named accordingly.

I was tweaking around with the windows command prompt customization settings and now i can't manage to restore it to default settings. Does anyone know how to get the default setting back? I've looked around on the web and cant seem to find a solution that works.

I've tried remote desktop (win server 2010) via this batch code in Windows 8 and it works without showing authentication window:
cmdkey /generic:"192.168.1.3" /user:"User112" /pass:"Password"
mstsc /v:"192.168.1.3"
But when I've tried it in Windows 7, it shows me authentication window and needs password.
How to remote desktop without showing authentication window in Windows 7?
When you get the Remote Desktop dialog authentication windows is displayed, click on 'Show Options'. The General Tab allows you to enter a username and save the configuration as an RDP file. Make sure 'Always Ask for Credentials' is unchecked and Connect then save this configuration. Not exactly a batch file but clicking on the RDP file in the future will open the desktop connection without having to enter your credentials.

How to put ConEmu in context menu in windows 7, when click on folder to be able to choose Open in ConEmu?
Configure it like this:
Settings → Integration (or Settings → Features → Integration in older versions)
Set up the ConEmu Here group (don't misuse ConEmu Inside) and press the Register button.
These options are stored in the registry (Explorer related keys) and that's why these settings are not stored the ConEmu configuration, so the Save settings button is useless on that particular page.
