How to disconnect from the computer of friends?

Recently, I asked a friend to check my computer it sign me up to her computer, so she could watch her home. I like to disconnect, I am concerned about privacy. (1) how can I disconnect?   (2) how can I check to see if someone else is connected to my computer? Thank you

you have not specified which version of windows you are using. but generally
 
1. right click on my computer
 
2. click on properties
 
3. click on distance parameters
 
4. Click to deselect Remote Assistance if it is enabled
 
5. under Remote Desktop, click on do not all connections to this computer remotely
 
This applies to built-in Windows functions. If a third-party program like Logmein
etc has been installed, then you will need to uninstall that.
 
Restart your computer, once you make the above, anyone who has BEEN connected will be
loss of access.

  • How to disconnect from the Mail application built into Windows 8 Pro

    I think that this old question / thread has been neglected (closed) and went without a good answer.

    Citing the answer of the moderator of this thread.
    "

    Hey jayRads,

    There is no concept sign in email and applications on the Preview version of consumer Messaging. If applications use the credentials you entered in your Windows profile, you will need to disconnect your account under settings of the PC users.

    -Isabelle '.
    and we know that this is not a real answer to the question.

    Since I only have a Local account signed in Windows 8... and when I click on the mail and forced me to Sign In (add account MS)... There should be a disconnect somewhere after I entered my hotmail account. Logically faulty if there is really nowhere to disconnect my hotmail. Even used Credential Manager/ne shows not my signed in accounts.

    NOTE: All I can do is to remove all accounts from the e-mail settings, but it affects all applications (Messaging, people, etc.) which usually isn't my idea of disconnection from Mail only. :(

    I want to just sign out since the Mail application (will also apply to applications that require a signature in) is possible.

    Please enlighten me in this situation.

    Thank you
    Ferdie

    Hi Ferdie Miranda,

    Thank you for choosing windows 8 and we join on our community.

    I understand from the description of the problems, you want to know the way to disconnect from the Mail application in Windows 8.

    Windows 8 Mail app has been designed so that it will keep you in connected mode all the time so that you will be able to check your e-mail without connecting to the Web-based e-mail.

    The steps in the thread you mentioned are quite correct.

    If you want to disconnect, please delete your account.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones storm of disconnecting from the computer

    I still have to learn. Question, why my time storms goes bad after I log out of Blackberry Desktop Manager. I always have to reset. Also, when I finished my Storm backup on my computer, the image of the home screen I put media disappears and the default image is displayed. I have reset the image of the media, the image is stored on the memory of the phone, no Media Card, and I got my prior engine Razr phone. Way that I disconnect computer storm (I hit "Disconnect" icon on the computer and wait until the computer confirms, then remove storm.) Help please.

    Darned it... my previous answer just went 'poof' into thin air.

    Well, here's a shortened version because I don't really feel like rewrite the newest .

    Go to Desktop Manager, then sync.  Uncheck the box "update device date and time.  Like that, your phone will not change time, every time that you synchronize with your computer.

    Now and then, to the second part, you can simply unplug the phone.  I did since I had and have never had any problems.  If you use mode of storage media (e.g. transfer of files in and out), then you can remove it safely, but if you're just synchronize TI, etc., is not necessary.

  • How to disconnect from the PC network?

    Hello

    I have a Linux server with Samba file sharing. This way people can connect to the server of their windows PC and see everything they represent allows them to see.

    Thinking now, we have also a public PC witch different people connect to the samba server.

    The problem with the latter is that different people need to connect with different accounts to see what they are allowed to see. However, windows stores the credentials and connects automatically without the opportunity to sign in with a different account.

    I was wondering if it is possible in windows 7 (and if anyone knows, in windows XP too) how to sign out of this samba server? I'm sure that windows stores logins somewhere, so remove this information would be enough to let the popup windows for the new connection, just information?

    Thank you very much!

    'Remember my credentials' is selected by default. The fastest way to stop this is to run NET USE / PERSISTENT: NO to a command prompt. I have this in a batch file to logon (with off @Echo for the first line) that runs whenever a client connects to the network. If an action requires a name of user and password, the customer enters this information in the 'black' box (command window).

    Hello

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    Make sure you know the details of connection to your wireless router - SSID and password.

    You lose connection when you do and have to redo your logon.

    Control Panel - Network & Sharing Center - right, click Customize - page set of network locations.
    lower left click on merge or delete network locations - REMOVE all instances of your network (and the
    others you don't use anymore) - REBOOT. Start - Connect To log on to the network.

    Hello

    The message "you have disconnected because you access Yahoo! Messenger from another computer or device." appears when you try to connect twice with the same Yahoo! ID. Someone knows your password and he at the same time connecting with you or you have Yahoo Multi Messenger and accidentally logging in twice. One solution is to change your Yahoo! password or not to use Yahoo Multi Messenger with the same ID.

    Good luck!
