IPv4 properties of VPN connection does not work

While I was setting up a VPN connection to my Azure Virtual Network I wanted to uncheck the option to use the Default Gateway of the connected network. Normally you’d do this by clicking on the Properties button of the selected protocol. However, there appears to be a bug in Windows 10 and VPN connections for this button which causes the Properties window not to appear. I have solved this with the help of Todorovic Dragan’s post about this matter. Read more →

Disable hibernate via registry when nothing else works

XP/Vista op de pocket pc

Nog iets leuks dat ik tegen kwam, is het draaien van Windows XP of Vista op je pocket pc. Uiteraard draai je het OS niet zelf op de kleine apparaatjes, maar heeft het een skin die er op lijkt.
