What does the method used to change a username have to do with how window does file shares?

There are multiple ways to change a username in linux and os x as well.

Good info, anyway, note I never said Linux or Mac OS are better than Windows.

The total ownage kills me, lol. Some interesting info in there.

Ownage by who? by Microsoft? because (I repeat) I am NOT saying Linux or Mac OS are better.

I really hate to say this, but with the last comment it's looking to me to be more of a bassackwards way of entering into one of those "Windoz Sux" threads...and I sincerely hope I'm wrong...

Fortunately, you are wrong, because (I repeat again) I am NOT saying Linux or Mac OS are better, just complaining about that specific part of Windows.

As far as networking with Windows goes: it's been that way since Windows For Workgroups 3.11 ..

Exactly, let me quote myself here:

IMO, Windows look like a very old software patched too many times.

Too many things. IMO, Windows look like a very old software patched too many times. They just add and add things and keep the old ones, so they end with a Windows with 3 or 4 utilities for change your user name, 2 or 3 different places where you can change sharing rules, etc. Maybe they are adding another additional window for manage sharing in Windows 7? for the love of God!

If they make a real new Windows, they could make the sharing/permissions/security thing in just one unique window doing the job from newbie to advanced user in a very easy and useful way. This will also make Windows lightweight.

The control panel is designed for home users, for an easy way to add new accounts (and change their permissions)

the MSC snap-in is designed for administrators, they fulfil two different (and needed) design ideas)

Ownage by who? by Microsoft? because (I repeat) I am NOT saying Linux or Mac OS are better.

No, by BudMan.

I found your posts to be argumentative, rather than inquisitive. And then you had the cheek to pull BudMan on his tone! Only to then be owned. (repeatedly)

I don't believe anybody suggested you were saying that Linux or Mac OS was better, but I would like to know what you are basing your judgement of Windows networking on?

Do you know of a better system?

No, by BudMan.

Oh! so BudMan was owning me? I thought he was helping me. This is not CounterStrike where you own people with headshots, this is a community forum where people help each others, at least that's the way I see it.

On-topic, well, some people have a very simple thinking, they think if you love something, you should hate the competitor, and viseversa. That's not the way my brain works. My brain see everything individually and without comparisons. So, I can say Windows AND Linux are good or bad at the same time.

IMO, comparing Linux/Windows/Mac are completely ridiculous. I see all three as separated and totally different softwares. I started this topic talking about Windows, and I will stay talking about Windows (If I need any help, because I think I am done with my original question).

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
