Disabling Windows 7 using a desktop computer

I am aware that the 'Stop' button can be clicked on the "Start" menu or the computer may be set to mode 'sleep' in Windows 7.

However, can the computer be off directly from the desktop by pressing the power button on the computer or is 'stop' via the start menu, the 'good' way to do it?

I always 'Shut Down' Windows XP by clicking on the 'Start' menu, but after the upgrade to Windows 7, I just asked if there was a shortcut to turn off the computer or if the same process applied.

Never had so much confusion on the 3 keys of simple before :D

Arrow right key key key / enter key. the arrow you are close normally.

  • Want to access another computer on Windows 7 using Remote Desktop connection

    Dear member of the community,

    I have 2 desktops, one with 10 windows and more with windows 7. Now I want remote access to the computer windows 10 windows 7 without logging on the computer windows 10. Kindly, guide me for the same thing.

    Hello Alice,.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    The computers are connected to a domain network?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    I also appreciate that fact that you want to access 10 Windows in Windows 7 remotely.

    With Remote Desktop connection, you can connect to a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that is connected to the same network or to the Internet. For example, you can use all of the programs, files, and network resources from your computer on your computer at home, and it's just that you are sitting in front of your computer at work.

    To connect to a remote computer that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled and you must have access to the network to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. To obtain permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. Before you start a connection, it's a good idea to search the name of the computer you are connecting to and to make sure that Remote Desktop connections are allowed through the firewall.

    I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

  • How can I open a windows app use parallels desktop 11 as before?

    Hello.

    I used to use Parallels desktop when it's version was 4... I use it for a long time until today, I had to update it and install it again for a windows application...

    Previously, parallels has given you a choice, allowing you to choose whether you want windows applications open as they are native applications mac, or if you want any operating system windows on your mac as having the bar of windows taskbar and other things...

    but now that I installed it I can't get windows apps to run as they are applications native mac and run only and only this app, not all windows OS as a window...

    What should I do?

    Parallels Desktop 11

    PS: I know it's a bit out of place here, but don't know where otherwise the question and it's urgent

    When you have used Parallels desktop version 4, remember inside Windows installation until you can run Windows programs? You did, and except if you have saved the Machines virtual Parallels created, you have to start over. However, viewing this document Parallels that explains where Parallels VMS files (Note: by default, all virtual machines are stored in /Documents/Parallels or in /Users/Shared/Parallels files). See if you still have on your machine and, if so, try opening and updating the virtual machine file to work with Version 11.

  • Networking a laptop 64 bit Windows 7 with a desktop computer Windows Vista 64-bit

    I have a Dell desktop running 64-bit Windows Vista with a USB connected HP Photosmart printer operating system.  My wife used to have a laptop with an XP operating system and we have had no problem sharing the printer.  Now she has a laptop (HP) laptop to Windows 7 64 bit and fails to print.

    His laptop is connected wireless to Verizon FIOS router (wireless-g, I think).  I am connected by ethernet.

    If I look at a map of the comprehensive network of my Vista PC I can see his laptop and explore appropriate records of (public) level on his hard drive.   Sharing my Vista PC and are discovery options: network discovery:; File sharing:. Public folder sharing:; Printer sharing:; Password protected sharing: Off; The media sharing: Off.  My Vista shows the home network as a WORKING group.

    I use McAfee SecurityCenter and when I open the McAfee network map it also shows my wife's cell phone with its IP address.

    On my wife's cell phone two PCs appear on the map of the comprehensive network of the window and it shows my PC IPv4, IPv6 and MAC address, but if I try to 'Open' from my PC to the icon on the map, I get an error message suggesting I be spelled the name wrong or there is a network problem (error code 0 x 80070035 the network path was not found).  I ran the diagnostic of the error dialog box and he suggested to "make sure that the device allows incoming connections for printing and file sharing", the windows firewall settings.  Its network card qualifies to the network TPEN1, identity, assigned to the Verizon router. It shows his laptop connected by a dotted line (wireless)? to TPEN1 which is connected to a switch.  My PC is also connected to the switch which in turn is connected by a bridge to the Internet.  Options advanced sharing his PC for the home or work (current profile) are set on: turn on the discovery network. Enable file sharing and printing; Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write files in public folders;  Media streaming is disabled; Use 128-bit encryption to protect file sharing connections (recommended); Disable password protected sharing;  Use the user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers.

    Its Norton Internet Security Network security map shows my PC as being in line with trust to full trust level.  It also shows the Swith and 2 generic devices with Shared Trust.

    So... anyone have any suggestions?

    The info goes through the motions of the configuration and verify most of the common aspects of the functionality of Windows OS' LAN.

    ----------------------

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    Since you have a network with Win 7 and the other version of Windows, you must configure Windows 7 as work network.

    In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

    Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

    You should consider that many times the final solution could involve total uninstall of the 3rd party security Suits.
