How to Fix Broken and Slow Tab Issues in Internet Explorer 8?

How to Kill Processes from Command Prompt?
Fix it: Most of the windows users press Ctrl+Alt+Del keys to open Task Manager to see the running processes and to terminate,start,end process(es).The same thing can be done from the command prompt. Additionally, killing processes in Command Prompt provides much more control and the ability to end multiple processes at once.

Type"tasklist" in the command prompt(C:\>tasklist) to see all the running processes. Now you can kill a process by the process ID (PID) or by image name (EXE filename).
For Example if you want to kill Orbit Downloader run :

C:\>Taskkill /IM orbitdm.exe /F ( IM for Image Name/Process Name in the task list)
Or,
C:\>Taskkill /PID 28754 /F (PID for Process ID shown in the tasklist)
The /f flag is kills the process forcefully.

How to Create a shortcut to switch users?
Fix it: Creating a shortcut to switch the active user is as easy as creating a shortcut to c:\windows\system32\tsdiscon.exe

-- Right click where you want the shortcut to be created and select New and then Shortcut.
-- Copy and paste “c:\windows\system32\tsdiscon.exe” into the location box and hit Next.
-- Give it a name and press Enter.
