Windows 8, obtain full administrative controll

Hello. Today I am going to tell you how to gain full administrative control on Windows 8.  Note that I am not responsible for anything you do that can harm your computer.  With full administrative control you can access all of your computer system files and delete any program and file, that you normally couldn't as a regular user.  This makes it easier to remove a virus.  This is going to be a list of steps and visual images, that take you step by step on how to, do it. (Pun intended.)

STEPS

  1. Go to desktop mode, by clicking the desktop panel on the Metro style user interface.

2.  It should now look like so...  Of course with your own background.  The screenshot of the game in the background, at the moment is called Panzar.  A free to play MOBA which means a player vs player based game.

3.  Now mouse over to the right hand side on any corner of the screen.  A bar should appear.  Click on the search icon for the computers apps.  Then search computer management.... Click on that.  It should look like this.

4.  Once you click on that an app well open up called Computer Management.  Look on the tab on the left hand side of the application.  Click Local Users and groups --> Then click the folder icon with Users which will now be on the center location of the app and well look like this. Once you click users.

5.  Now you will see a list of users.  Look for the name Administrator.  --->  Right click on that user.  ---> Then click properties.
6.  Once you see this box that says Administrator properties uncheck Account is disabled. 
7.  Now go back to the Metro user interface. 
8.  Click on your current user name and then Administrator will pop up as a username to log into.
9.  Once you click Administrator under username to log into.  You will be in the Administrator account.  
10. From their create a password for the Administrator account under the control panel, which you can get to by going to the right side of the screen and mousing over to any corner.  Then click settings.   And then go to users and accounts.  
11.  From their you should see an option to add a password.
12.  Adding a password is option but keeps any other of the computers users from accidentally messing up the computer by deleting a file they shouldn't.

Learn 2 Code

W3Schools another way or two to learn coding!

W3Schools is a fun site I found that is like many of the other websites that teach you how to code. W3Schools on the other hand has tutorials for the people who are more knowledgeable with HTML and CSS and others already. Also, if you are not, they can teach you from the beginning. W3Schools can provide certificates in "obviously" you have to pay for to get them in those subjects. W3School also provides free tips and tricks or code examples. Say you forget something like the HTML image tag. You can then Google HTML Image tag and it well show up from W3Schools in the top of the list from Google's search.

New Free Software gives 15+ GB's of cloud storage!

Cloud storage for business and or family's.

Hello Copy is a new Cloud storage company like Skydrive, iCloud, and Google Drive.  What is unique about Copy is its design and interface.  It even includes 15 GB's when you sign up, wait want more!  Well first off click here.  Clicking there takes you to a refferal link.  When you sign up through someones refferal link you and that person well get 5 more GB's free, for every refferal!  Imagine how much free cloud storage you can get.  Also, if you follow them on twitter through clicking on your profile on the top right you can get two more GB's!  See on the right top corner of the screenshot below I have 17 GB's.   Want to see their YouTube video on how it works then click here!  Copy even lets you "Split the bill" for who pays the subscription so if you own a company you can "Split the bill" with several people.  Then give everyone in your company cloud service!

Plans
Personal
First Copy has personal plans the FREE plan which I am using starts you out with 15 GB's and it says or bigger because you can earn GB's through referring your own link.  Plan 250 is $9.99/month or $99 a year and includes 250 GB's of cloud storage.  The Pro 500 plan is $14.99/month and $149/year for 500 GB's.
Company
100 GB plan is $399/year and has no per user fee.  So that is 100 GB's for every worker.  The 250 GB plan is $699/year that gives 250 GB's to each year as well. Lastly the 500 GB plan for companies cost $999/year! That's how they make their money and offer free service.
Here is my refferal link and proof of 5 GB's per refferal.

One question many people well ask is.  Can you trust this software with your files.  With Copy you can!  How I know you can?  Well they are owned by Barracuda Networks which is a company that makes firewall systems for companies.
Also, the Charlotte airport uses their firewall system which you might have noticed through other adds in other airports as well.

How to WATCH your Mobile Data Usage :)

     We all know AT&T and other cell phone carriers have stopped the Unlimited Data plan, except for Sprint because they think the are special.  Yet Sprint has the worst cell phone coverage.  You might even be the type of person that accidently went over your data usage. Weather or not you were keeping track of your data or you just don't even know that you should be monitoring your data usage.  Because, you're a kid    and just don't care because you don't pay money for the plan when you or a child goes over the plan.  Then you get charged even more at the end of the month!  If you're not a kid and don't use your phone that much and you go over your data.  You start thinking.....  WHAT THE!!!  After you see the charge on your monthly bill.  So I well be showing some TipsNTricks to stay with in your data plan. :D
     Pretty much all smartphone applications use some of your mobile data plan.  You just need to find the ones that use the most and remove them.  Except for YouTube, why?  YouTube uses the most data on your phone because it's using that data to stream videos through the WWW (World Wide Web) to your phone.  To solve that problem just don't watch many videos unless you are connected to wi-fi.  When you are connected to wi-fi you don't use your data plan.
     To monitor other application data or just your data plan usage, download the app My Data Manager.
Download Android version through Play Store.
Download IOS version through iTunes.
On the page of the link you clicked there is a simple video that tells you what the application does.  On the Play Store the application has a 4.9 rating.  46,205 people rated My Data Manager five stars while 645 people rated the application one star.  Which is probably when it first came out.  Most applications are buggy when they first come out.
          So if you are on AT&T you should have a couple of contacts that came with your phone.  The one we are talking about today well be labeled as Data Usage.  If you don't have the number and are in AT&T the number is *3282#.  What this does is run a thing called a USSD code.  What ever that is, :D.  And then you well get a text message that shows your current data.  As well as the date it re-starts, which is the same day every month!
     Once you have that number of the data guess the percentage of %100 and enter it on the My Data Manager app.  The part where you click set up.  Then enter the cycle start date, which was provided in the text message you received.
     Also for security and data usage measurement go download the FREE AVG Security application.
- Download for AVG antivirus FREE through Googles Play Store
Now go to your Android widgets and place the AVG widget then go to the app.  Once you go to the AVG app you have to register, just enter your e-mail.  Click on the performance option, then set data usage.  Fill out the data you got on the text message from the Data Usage contact.

There you go!  Now don't go over your data limit!

Note: I was going to make a video for it but my camera person ditched me to enjoy her sunday, then I tried to make a video using my PC's camera and it all got screwed up.  I well make a blooper attempt of making the video though.  Once I get a better camera I well make it.
