Windows 7 temporary profile

This post addresses the issue regarding when logging in Windows. Sometimes it happens that when you login to Windows you are logged in a temporary profile. This problem is very annoying because sometimes even if you log off and try to login again the problem persists. The thing is that windows creates a .bak profile. To fix this problem you have to modify the registry from your computer. First of all open run ( press the windows key + r or type run in search bar ) and type “regedit”.

Navigate to the following path HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList and delete the .bak files.

How to configure network connection on Windows 7

Many Administrators prefer “netsh” command when configuring a network connection because the tool is more powerful then using the normal interface and has many options.

If you want to configure the Local Area Connection with a IPv4 address, network mask and gateway you will type something like:
First of all open a command prompt using administrative credentials.
netsh interface ipv4 set address “local area connection” static 192.168.1.15 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

In this example I have configured the IP 192.168.1.15 with a network mask of 255.255.255.0 and a gateway 192.168.1.1

If you want to configure also the DNS type:

netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers “local area connection” static 192.168.1.2

where 192.168.1.2 is my dns ip address
If you want to use DHCP to get a dynamic IP address and DNS server enter the following in cmd:

netsh interface ipv4 set address name=”local area connection” source=dhcp
netsh interface ipv4 set dnsservers name=”local area connection” source=dhcp
IP address (internet protocol) : is a protocol used to communicate between different machines over the internet.
DNS (domain name system) : is a service that translates names intro IP addresses

DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) : is a service that dynamic assigns the configuration needed to communicate over the internet (ip, mask, dns etc.).
Gateway : is a device that connects the local network with the internet (usually a router ).
