With that being said, the application does not provide the full functionality of the Metro UI, but it's still a fun way to look cool and not have to pay for a Windows 8 upgrade.
The search button allows users to navigate the entire computer.

WinMetro also gives users the option to boot to the Metro Start Screen directly.

Here, you will be find an easy way to remove passwords in such a way that Windows will automatically get to the desktop without asking you to enter the system password. Though, you can restore it back whenever you feel that your system is not safe anymore.
How to Bypass Password Login
- Start typing "netplwiz" (without quotes) in the Windows 8 start screen and hit enter to launch the "User Accounts" control panel (on older versions of Windows, click "User Accounts Control Panel").
- Enter your password if prompted.
- In the window that opens, uncheck the box stating "Users must enter a username and passwords to use this computer" and click OK (on older versions of windows, first double-click the account you wish to automatically log in).

- Enter and reenter the existing account password(s) if you're asked.

That's it. From now on, you will not see the password screen anymore.
However, If you don't want to use this feature anymore and are interested in getting your old Windows 8 password screen back, you can restore it by following the above steps—except the 3rd one where you need to select the check box, which we have de-selected previously.
You can follow the same steps to bypass password screen on previous version of Windows too, not just Windows 8.

Phishing attacks are one of the most common scams on Facebook. The goal of these scams is to obtain your Facebook user name and password. If successful, the scammers can totally take over your Facebook account and use it to spread more spam and scams to your friends. They can also mine everyone in your network for data they can later use for identity theft or other socially engineered attacks.
Here are some examples of popular phishing schemes on Facebook:
- Facebook Lottery – You’re likely to receive an email stating you’ve won a sum of money. These can also be advanced fee scams.
- Confirm Your Account – Any messages asking you to confirm your account should be viewed with extreme suspicion. If you receive an email like this, don’t follow any links. A better option is to log in to Facebook directly.
- Violated a Policy – Hacked accounts often send messages posing as ‘Facebook Security.’ If you encounter one of these scams, you’ll notice that Facebook Security will be spelled with non-traditional characters. This is done to bypass Facebook’s filters.
- Photos & Videos - The scammers attempt to capitalize on our curious nature. You will receive a message from a compromised friend’s account asking you to look at this photo or video. A popular theme is to say the picture is embarrassing or they can’t believe you did that, etc. Other variants of this scam contain files laden with malware.
Most all of these scams direct you to external links to pages designed to look like Facebook. Before logging in to any site, always verify that you are indeed on the main site. Careless and unsuspecting users are often fooled by these tricks.
Below is one example of the photo phishing scheme mentioned above.
“do you notice that they were rrecording u lol this is unpleasant lol !!”
Other Alternate Messages:
Is this you in this video on facebook, what are you doing LOL? Search on this website for your name
HAHAHAHAHA i can not believe whaat you did in thisss videeo it’s sooo stupid its all overfacebook! Coooopy and Paaaste the url below into your web browser to seeeee , its craazy!Removeee thee Spaces —>
OMG have u seen ur video on here. u should check this out!
Clicking on the link in the scam post will at first direct the user to a Facebook application and then ultimately to a phishing URL:
Scams like this are very common on the Facebook platform. Humans are curious by nature, and the scammers often use this and other emotions to their advantage. Also consider that these messages or updates may come from a friend’s hacked account. Don’t assume any links or messages are legitimate just because they came from a friend. In fact, if you receive them via Facebook chat / message, then there is a good chance that your friend’s account has been compromised. Double check your friends list and remove or block any name that looks suspicious (awkward and non-traditional spellings of Facebook Security, Account Confirmation, etc.)
Never enter your login information when a web page redirects you without first double checking to make sure you are on the legitimate site. A better option is to bookmark Facebook, and only log in from there.

1) File sharing Websites
The best way to download Android apps for free is through file sharing websites. The file sharing on these websites is done by Android users who download or buy paid apps and upload them in file sharing websites. The best popular file sharing websites are: www.4shared.com, www.mediafire.com and www.filecrop.com. Out of them all 4shared is best and most popular and i will prefer it as it’s the easiest. Steps to download paid app from these websites-
- Go to any of these websites and type the app name you want to download for free and add the extension of “.apk”. For example if you want to download ADWLauncher EX ( a paid app in Google play), type adw launcher ex .apk and press enter.The results will then be viewed.
- From the results click the latest uploaded file and download it.
- Once the .apk file is downloaded, transfer it to your phone with USB cable and install it on your phone.
Note: You can also download 4shared app from market instead of searching apps in web.
2) BlackMart Alpha app
BlackMart Alpha is an Android app itself. To use this app for downloading paid apps for free you need to search for BlackMart Alpha in the above mentioned file sharing sites. Search results will appear. Download this application. Transfer and install it on your smart phone.
- After installation, open the BlackMart Alpha app. A same design will appear as Android market app on your smart phone.
- A list of apps will appear in this app. You can also use the search option to search and download a paid app.
- Search results will appear. The price of the specified or searched app is struck out. Click on download and install it directly on your smart phone for free.
Note: You can download any app but don’t update any app from BlackMart Alpha as there are chances that it might corrupt that app.
3) Paying for app in Android market
The last tip which is most reliable and the best way to download the paid app is by paying for an app in Android market. To use this option you should have a good file explorer app like ASTRO File Manager and ES File Explorer.
- Install ES File Explorer or ASTRO File Manager.
- Go to Android market and purchase any app. Within the 15 minutes of trial period you can get the full refund if you cancel the order.
- The app gets downloaded on your smart phone.
- Open ES file explorer and click on Options > Manager > App Manager.
- Go to list of installed apps and press on the app you just purchased and click on backup. The app backup will be made in backup folder of your SD card.
- Once the backup is made, cancel the order and install it from the backup folder again. Your money will be refunded after you cancel the order.
So these were the best ways to download any apps for free. But my self I am a computer engineer and always advice to follow the right steps to download any app. Just pay for the app in the Android market and enjoy. Developers put a lot of efforts in creating apps and one should respect their efforts and time.

Are you tired of providing on-site tech support for your friends and family? Providing support remotely is an easy way to help them while maintaining your sanity. If you don't have a computer nearby, but have your Android phone you can still help. Here's how:

Step 3:
At the main screen, the numeric ID of that system is listed and a numeric password for that session. Make a note of the ID and password as you'll need that information later.
Step 4:
If you're setting this up on someone else's computer, you may want to create a shortcut for them or place the file on their desktop so they can find it more easily when they need your help. Once you've connected to the computer, a small window with a session list will pop up in the lower right-hand corner.
