Excellent online Free Backup space

Dear All

I was looking for a good online backup free space. I am currently using an account of Mega, one of Drive, Dropbox ... OneDrive but the sum of all didn't reach what recently I found to be a really good Backup Area: Degoo:

100 GB Free Backup

You can have 100GB free storage to start with. Then you can buy much more with few dollars per month or get extra free space by inviting friends. It works with windows, Mac and Android. I am currently backing-up my tablet and 2 PCs with the same account.

Try!

Undem Maintenance Plan Tasks (left) drug to the workspace the "Rebuild Index Task" 



and then doubleclick to get the properties:



Customize your task. You can select DBs to reindex.
With the Calendar icon schedule how often you wish it to run.


Note: plans will then appear in the Jobs Area:








Force software to always run as admin without exposing admin password

We have many computers where users are not admin.
I need to run a .exe file but it always asks for Admin credentials. I want to avoid been called each time they run the file ....

Surfing the internet I found a solution that worked for me:

1. Create a shortcut to the Exe File
2. Enter properties of the shortcut and modify the "Target" field adding C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /savecred /user:domain\administrator before the existing file path


Save and run it. You will be prompted to enter the password:
Enter the password.
Always use the link to run the application.
Note: this does not work for Windows 7 Home or Starter Edition
