Connect to Wireless Networks From the Command Line

We are always on the lookout for geeky ways to impress our friends, and recently we came across a way to connect to our wireless network from the command prompt, so today we’ll show you how to do it as well.

How to Browse and Connect to Wireless Networks From the Command Line

Browsing available wireless networks from the command prompt requires only a single command:
netsh wlan show networks

Unfortunately in order to connect to a network, you need to have a network profile for it. This means that you need to have connected to it at least once before. To see what profiles you have available on your machine, use the following command:
netsh wlan show profiles

Once you have made sure you have a profile for the network you want to connect to, you can easily connect to it using the network profile name:
netsh wlan connect name=”w1r3l3$$”

That’s all there is to it.

Use Portable VirtualBox to Take Virtual Machines With You Everywhere

Install Portable VirtualBox to an External Drive First, get started by downloading the Portable VirtualBox installer from vbox.me . Run the downloaded file and extract it to an external drive or wherever else you want to store your portable VirtualBox system. You can always move it later, if you like. Launch the Portable-VirtualBox.exe program from here and you’ll be prompted to download and install VirtualBox’s program files on your external drive. The tool can automatically download VirtualBox’s files for you. After it does, click the OK button to unpack them.

Create a Restore Point for Windows 7 or Vista’s System Restore

If you are thinking of installing an application but aren’t quite sure what it’s going to do to your computer, I would absolutely recommend creating a restore point before you install that application, and here are the steps to do so. Note that most application installs automatically create a restore point, but you can do this if you are really worried. Open up the Start Menu and right-click on “Computer”, and then select “Properties”. This will take you into the System area of Control Panel. Click on the “System Protection” link on the left hand side. Now select the “System Protection” tab to get to the System Restore section. Click the “Create” button to create a new restore point. You’ll be prompted for a name, and you might want to give it a useful name that you’ll be able to easily identify later. Click the Create button, and then the system will create the restore point. When it’s all finished, you’ll get a message saying it’s completed successf...
