Change Windows RDP connection bar position - windows-8

I frequently browse internet while using RDP, and the position of connection bar at the top of the window is annoying while switching between tabs. How is it possible to change the position of Windows RDP connection bar to the any other side of the window? Not unpinning the bar, shrinking or sliding along the top end of the window, but shift to any other end either left/right/bottom, or totally get rid of it altogether.
OS: Windows 8.1
Thanks in advance.

You can remove the bar entirely by deselecting the "Display the connection bar when I use the full screen" box in the Remote Desktop Connection window.
To exit full-screen, you can use Ctrl+Alt+Break, you can also exit by selecting the power menu and using "disconnect".

Control-alt-delete RDP from RDP

I need to remote desktop into one windows server and then from there remote desktop into another windows server (don't ask...). I know that you can use Ctrl+alt+end to act as ctrl+alt+delete in remote desktop but this only affects my first RDP connection, how do I do this for the second one?
Thanks
Below worked for me when attempted Keyboard Keys Highlighted.Alt+Ctrl+Del on Box2 from Box1
RDP to your Box2 from Box1
Open On-Screen Keyboard on Box2. eg on Windows 2016 server it would be under
Open C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessibility\On-Screen Keyboard
When On-Screen Keyboard comes on Box2, press ALT+CTRL of "Box1 keyboard" and using mouse click on "Box2's On-Screen Keyboard" DEL button.
If you're using an RDP within another RDP, Ctrl+Alt+End may not work as expected -- it sometimes could bring up the Task Manager / Change Password screen for the outer RDP.
Instead, to bring up the Task Manager / Change Password screen for the inner RDP :
Bring up the on-screen keyboard (Start > Run, type osk.exe)
Hold Ctrl+Alt on the top-level machine and click Del on the OSK.
This should work for any number of nested RDPs.

Windows 8 tablet - How to prevent explorer from starting desktop app with maximized window?

When I start a desktop application on Windows 8 tablet, Explorer starts it with SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED.
For example, if you start Notepad from command prompt, it opens in normal window size, but if you do that from Explorer, maximized window is opened. I have seen this Explorer behavior only on tablet PC and I guess Explorer is doing that on purpose.
I understand that it may be useful for many application programs, but I want my program to start with normal size unless user explicitly requests Explorer to open it maximized.
Is there a way to stop this for my application? I'm hoping that there is an API or manifest to do that, but I couldn't find any information at MSDN.
Thanks in advance.
See if this helps:
Open any program that is affected with this issue. Note: Make sure that it is the only open window of that program. eg. You can only do this if you have one window of command prompt open.
Adjust the window size and position to your liking.
While holding Ctrl on your keyboard, close the window by clicking (or touching, for tablet) the X in the top-right corner of the window to close it.
Re-open the program. Your window should now open in the way you set it in step 3.

Opera 18 Web developer tools

How can I detach the developer tools window in Opera 18 to be in separate window. I try with the button Detach, but instead going in single window, will dock on the right side. Either goes in the right side ot on the bottom....cannot make it separate window.
There should be a [] looking button at the bottom left of the web inspector that will detach/attach it to the main window.

KDE and Multi-Monitor, how to have program started on the screen it was opened from

I have been trying KDE and customized it enough to my liking. I added panels and application launchers on each screen and windows opened shows on each screen panel.
But whenever I start an application either from the "start menu" or from the quick launch, it position on any screen.
Is there a way to have application started on the screen it was opened?
After spending too much time in settings, google, and Window Rules, I finally found my answer.
In System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window Behavior -> Focus Tab
enable the box "Active screen follows mouse"

Safari Web Inspector Showing Up In New Window By Default

I've been using Chrome and am going back and forth between switching to Safari or staying with Chrome. My one small issue with Safari though is that the web inspector always shows up in a new window every time I toggle it. I press Command-Option-I and it opens in a new window and when I press Command-Option-I again it does not go away. I love the way the web inspector functions in Chrome and am wondering if there's a way to run the same way in Safari.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I have had the issue for a long time. Here is the solution.
Right-click on a web page and select inspect element.
The console window appears in Fullscreen. Minimize the window like any Safari web page and it should a window like below.
Just above the 'Elements' tab, you should be able to see 2 icons. Clicking the icon on the left, opens the Console in right side of the browser and clicking the icon on the right, opens the Console in bottom of the browser
Hope this helps.
None of the methods upon are working for me (Safari 9.1), if you want to make the docking buttons of the inspector showing up:
open Terminal
type defaults read com.apple.Safari "__WebInspectorPageGroupLevel1__.WebKit2InspectorStartsAttached"
Once you checked if it returns 0,
do:
defaults write com.apple.Safari "__WebInspectorPageGroupLevel1__.WebKit2InspectorStartsAttached" 1
It's a bug in the Safari codebase.
Here is the bugreport and they're working on it (source)!
You could press the leftmost button at the Inspector's status bar and Inspector will dock.
UPDATE: Now, the button is on the right. When Inspector is in a separate window, the two small buttons in its upper right corner make it move to the 1) bottom of the Safari window 2) right side of the Safari window.
The only method that seemed to work for me was to resize the browser to a big enough size that it was big enough to contain the smallest size of an individual Inspect window. This for me, was widening the browser to at least around 65% percent width of the screen, and then you can "Inspect Element" and the default would be that the Inspect window would be at the bottom of the browser, and the browser with the Inspect window in it is resizable to any size now. Hope this helps some people.
Follow these steps to fix safari issue
Go to Develop --> User Agent --> Safari --> Select iphone --> then click on right side top symbol...
Select it and do inspect then you can see the button on left side top corner.
Now set to default setting by redoing the first point.
Please follow the step
Try clicking as shown:
I hope you get as shown:
I noticed when you have an open tab like the start page, the web inspector will pop up in a separate window. Also, there are no icons in the web inspector to attach it to the bottom or side. If you have a webpage open and do the same thing in the same window, that tab will have the web inspector attached to the bottom of the page (or whatever your attachment selection was prior).
