How to disable Start up Apps

Via Task Manager

1. press Ctrl+Shift+Esc.
  - or
2. Open the Task Manager by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting "Task Manager"
  1. 1. 1. Click on the "Startup" tab to see a list of programs that start automatically with Windows.
        
        Disable the ones you don't need by right-clicking on them and selecting "Disable".
        
        this one is only a small potion of the auto start up tasks and may no longer work on newer windows versions

How to disable Start up Apps

Via Settings

1. 1. in the search bar or the settings app search for startup apps
    - Some apps may have an option in their settings to disable the automatic startup.
    - you "may" find something there i literally never have
    - stg this is useless but hay its "an option"

How to disable Start up Apps

Via System Configuration:

1. Windows key + R to open "Run"
  1. type the fallowing program name then click Enter.
2. msconfig
3. Click on the "Startup" tab to see a list of programs that start automatically with Windows.
  1. Disable the ones you don't need by unchecking the checkbox next to them.
  2. if you are running into extensive issues you may need to enable diagnostic startup and see if you still have problems

How to disable Start up Apps

Via Registry Editor

"DISCLAIMER" This method should only be used if you have experience with editing the Windows registry.

1. Open the Registry Editor by pressing the Windows key + R and typing "regedit" in the Run dialog box.
2. paste these into the URL bar
  - 1. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    2. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
    3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    4. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
  - OBVIOUSLY local and current users are different
  - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    - is for the logged in user and
  - HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    - but you also have
  - HKEY_USERS
    - this is for other users on the pc
  - HKEY_USERS\useridgoeshere\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
    - - if you have allot of users on your PC u might just want to loginto there acct by admining them and changing there password

Remember to only disable apps that you're sure you don't need, as disabling the wrong program could cause problems with your system.

How to admin people Via Run

1. 1. 1. 1. key + R to open the Run dialog box.
        
        Type "control userpasswords2" in the Run dialog box and press Enter.
        
        control userpasswords2
        
        click on user
        
        click properies
        
        click group membership
        
        click administrator
        
        click apply

change another users passwd without knowing it

1. 1. 1. 1. open cmd as admin by searching it in the search bar then clicking run as administrator
        
        paste this command into the terminal
        
        net user [username] [new password]
        
        replace username with the users username
        
        and new password with your preferred password

disclaimer don't do this without there permission

fix windows files

start CMD or PowerShell in admin mode
type or past
- sfc /scannow
restart pc
regardless if it fixes stuff, then do
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
when its done restart
then do
- sfc /scannow
  - again
then restart
1. 1. and boom all of your corrupt files should be fixed
u could do
- DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- again and restart but that's up to you

every tool for windows in a single file :D

change the name of a folder in your desktop to
- GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

download file to sshed windows server

Open your SSH client and log in to the Windows server.
Navigate to the directory where you want to download the file.
Use the "curl" command followed by the URL of the file you want to download.
curl -LJO
1. example location:[
2. curl -LJO https://github.com/Fictiverse/bark/releases/download/0.2/Bark_WebUI.7z
Press Enter to start the download. The file will be downloaded to your current directory on the server.

what does -LJ0 mean?

-L or --location: Follow HTTP(S) redirects. This flag tells curl to automatically follow any HTTP redirects that the server may send, allowing it to download the file from the correct URL even if the server responds with a redirect.
-J or --remote-header-name: Use the remote header name for the downloaded file. This flag tells curl to use the suggested filename in the Content-Disposition header, which is typically set by the server when you download a file. In your case, the server sets the filename to Bark_WebUI.7z, and this flag tells curl to use that filename instead of just saving the file with a generic name like download.
-O or --remote-name: Use the remote file name for the downloaded file. This flag tells curl to save the downloaded file with the same name as it has on the server.

So in summary, -LJO tells curl to follow redirects and use the filename suggested by the server, and to save the file with the same name it has on the server.

How to Remove 'Show More Options' From the Windows 11 Context Menu - Command Prompt

Open Windows Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell.
