[How To] Change the Priority of WiFi Networks in Windows 8

One of the most noticeable changes in Windows 8 is when using it for a longer time than that required for a simple test, is the lack of an option introduced in Windows 7 and that, I believe, should not have so hidden in Windows 8.

I mean the Wireless Profile manager or administrator wireless networking profile. And yes, although it is true that there are tools created by third parties in order to access this administrator in Windows 8, here we will show you how to do it natively, from the latest Microsoft operating system that is Windows 8.

The procedure is very easy, so do not fear if you're not familiar with the pictures I will place below.

Open a command window and Management writes:

netsh wlan show profiles

That will allow you to see all the networks you have connected and their priority.

Once you have that screen in sight, you'll want to know how to change that data. So for that, look at some special names. For example, if I show you the name of the interface (Wi-Fi in this case), and the name of the network you want to set as priority. Once you do that, type the following (remember to change the names):

netsh wlan September profileorder name = "w1r3l3 $ $" interface = "Wi-Fi" priority = 1

Just in case, I remember that the names should change according to your data are 'w1r3l3 $ $' with the name of your network, and 'Wi-Fi' by the name of your network interface.

That would be all. You see, the name 'w1r3l3 $ $' happened to be up, and the name must have you will have had the same change. I hope you found helpful.

Spotify, like Rdio, where I find the best services for streaming online music, While both allow you to create playlists and mark them for offline listening, these songs can not carry on mobile unless you pay  few dollars.

[News] Windows 8 could say goodbye to the Start button

Microsoft could introduce a very important change in Windows 8, if the change is maintained from the beta to final version. According to a couple of leaks out there in the public beta of Windows 8 ("Consumer Preview") the Start button will shine by their absence.

In previous beta versions of Windows 8, the button had changed its design to be more consistent interface to the famous Metro. However, in this new edition the button will be permanently deleted, not its functionality is also present as a "hot corner". The functions that previously ran with the Start button is now activated simply by passing the mouse pointer on the bottom left, or "sweeping" the sector in touch mode.

Likewise, the taskbar, Windows 7 seems to be a successful design for Microsoft, so it probably will keep unchanged. In any case, being a beta version, the disappearance of the home button would not be final so there is still chance that the classic button is back as if nothing had happened.
