Can anyone give me some hack or provide some way, by which I can enable the Start Menu in Windows 8.
I am finding hard to use Windows 8 without Start Menu.
I dont have any problem, If I need to write a Custom Code in .Net to enable it.
There is a web page which provides some nice features and tricks for windows called neowin.
On this page I found this article: http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-8-how-to-re-enable-the-classic-start-menu
I hope this is what you´re looking for :)
EDIT: I also have Windows 8 and I´m using this Trick without problems :)
EDIT 2:
This won´t work for build 9200 or newer! I just got the new build and i tried to execute this trick but after restart my Windows told me to "Refresh" or "Reset" my Operating System. after refreshing my win 8 all my apps and programs were erased.
Greets,
Paedow
You need to use the windows key (bottom left corner of your keyboard) to get the start menu. Hope this helps. Or you can set your theme to an earlier version of windows that has the start menu.

I have written a basic VB winform application (in visual studio) that control the lights. I published and create an install package so I can install this on other PCs.
My questions is how to sync these applications to communicate with one another so if I turn a light on, on one PC, other PC will sense that and display it on thier application.
I can use timer to see if there are any action every 15 second, but I don’t think this is efficient way.
Take a look at this question that involves sending information between computers over a network. You could have the program send what it did to the lights so that the other programs can update themselves.
I'd suggest you look at writing the status to a file accessible to all on the network, use the filewatcher class to detect changes to the file, and when the file changes read it from all PCs to see the current status of everything.

another option would be to use UDP broadcasting

i want to develop a hybrid application which makes a phone call to a static number automatically when clicking on a button using mobilefirst.can you help me?
It's not specific to IBM MobileFirst. A bit of googling would've given you the answer you needed...
Here are a couple of options to open the dialer with a number:
Directly in the HTML (you can style the a to look like a 'button'): call this number
Using JavaScript code to be called in a function: document.location.href = "tel:+375292771265";
Edit:
It seems that you want to auto-dial.
iOS: In iOS this is not allowed in webpages. Worklight apps are essentially web code and thus considered a "webpage" by the OS and will thus first display an alert confirming if the end-user truly wants to call this number or not. In a native app the dialer will auto-dial. This can be read in the iOS documentation: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneURLScheme_Reference/PhoneLinks/PhoneLinks.html
Android: not allowed by the OS. You may be able to achieve this using a Cordova plug-in: see how to create Cordova plug-ins in MobileFirst Platform Foundation and a possible functionality implementation.

As a life long eclipse IDE user, i decided to try Intellij at work. I requested for activation keys and received them. Thing is, the registration process to upgrade from a trial version to a full version is very confusing. Any pointers over this issue will help.
Thanks
You should use the Help | Register dialog to enter the key for IDEA Ultimate. If the Help Register is disabled then you might be using EAP(Early Access Program) version of the product.
Note that Help menu is not available from the welcome screen, so you need to create/open some project first.
To access registration dialog from the Welcome Screen use the Find Action shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+A), type Register..., press Enter:
If OK button remains disabled, refer to this document.

How can i disable explorer.exe from startup?
(need it to boost my only-gaming pc)
Thanks!
EDIT :
I need to diable explorer.exe, the game starts automatically on startup!
If i want explorer back, i can simpely press: Cntrl + Alt + Del, start Task Manager, Click on New Task, and type: "explorer.exe", it should work like that.
EDIT 2:
To make it On Topic, Maybe i can do this with an Batch-file?
I dont know enough of .bat files for making one, what i need to write in the batch-file?
In Windows, explorer.exe is the main file manager application that is required for the windows gui to function. Theoretically, there is a way to navigate your files (e.g., in order to open up your games) through the command line, though I believe that you will need explorer as the parent process for many of the popular games. Someone who has access to the MSDN would be able to tell you more definitively.
Long story short, unless you are booting into command line mode, explorer.exe will load on startup.

I'm using IntelliJ Idea 9 on a windows 7 box - 2GB RAM. I'm facing this strange issue where the response of the editor is very slow. When typing, the characters seem to appear after a delay.. and gets annoying after a point.
However, IDEA 8 on the same machine works perfectly.
Would like to know if someone has faced this earlier.. Or is there any recommended solution..
Thanks.
You should try the 9.0.1 RC build available at http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Maia+EAP, some performance problems were resolved there. Also ensure you don't have third-party plug-ins installed.
If the issue remains, refer to the instructions at http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/docs/DOC-192.
EDIT: IDEA 9.0.1 has been released, please use the latest available release build.
Interesting, in my case the issue was having the Project and Structure windows open, and having scroll to/from source enabled probably didn't help. Closing the palettes sped up editing for me.
