Tip For Windows 8

[goupon]

A little techie for those who have Windows 8. If you want an icon for Shutdown, here's a little code i google from. Copy& Paste the code to Notepad and save as Shutdown.vbs. Make sure it's not Shutdown.vbs.txt. If you do see .txt, just delete the ".txt"

dim objShell
set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application")
objshell.ShutdownWindows
set objShell = nothing

Now, right click on Shutdown-->Porperties-->Custimize-->Change Icon
Now just browser to a "shutdown icon"

You're good to go.

Or another easy way to bring back "Start Menu"
At the Search---type-- cmd
cmd open, type --> regedit and navigate to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
RPEnabled=0

This is to restore your activation on the same machine with no modification.

I hope this method will work.
1. Go to Folder Option and Uncheck the follow to unhide file/folder
- uncheck "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)
- put a dot on "Show hidden files, folders, and driver
2. Go to C:\Windows\System32\spp\store
copy data.dat and tokens.dat
Those are two files you need to activate your windows 8.

Windows 8.1, same procedure but file locate in C:\windows\system32\spp\store\2.0\

run cmd as admin and type:
SLMGR /IPK XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

Note: If you change any hardware, i.e. cpu, hard drive, motherboard, the two files will not work. What are those two files? They store your pc spec and serial number.

If your need win8 iso, let me know. But remember, the iso will not activate w/out a legitimate key. If u do have the above .dat, i can write a guide on how to add those into the iso so u do not need to add serial and will activate right away
