    This time I had to open the Desktop as a folder using Explorer and it let me delete it that way, but refused to let me delete it from the actual desktop

    Hi.
    I was using Windows 8. My internet is "Radio" using a Bullet which is connected to my PC. So, I create a new Broadband connection (PPPOE) unde Windows. After creating it, I put the "service" and manually connected to the internet. But after restarting, and loggong into my account it shows me a windows where I had to put login and password, and I also marked "automatic connection when login, and worked fine.
    After installing Windows 8.1 Preview it seems that it was removed. Because after creating a new connection and restarting my computer, there isn´t any window anymore to create my automatic connection. I can connect only manually clicking on the Icon on tray.
    I thought that this option of windows 8 would be back on final release, but it wasn´t.
    How can I can configure my computer to connect automatically after login to my account, because I don´t like to connect all the times manually.

    Why this new edition of Windows is taking so long to activate, if I recall about the time Windows 8 come out, there were lots of tools to fool the activation, of course it was a temporary fix, until a KMS emulator server come along, and made genuine activations

    so they removed the right click, where you selected metered etc. Just installed 8.1 and could not easily unmeter one network.

    Also it seems to forget one network\password all the time.

    If you are referring to hacktivators... they didn't actually activate. They simply stopped the nagging and watermarks.
    KMS activators were the one and only activators for Win8.0

    Because MS changed their activation technology in 8.1 - so old activators no longer work

    But murphy78, I reckon lots of people haven't had the change to try Windows 8.1 at the full strength, and those hacktivators made that possible, until a valid solution comes out.

    Yep! they removed Right-click on network list (SSID's) feature :(

    but you can On/Off Metered Network in
    PC settings > Networks > Connections Tab > (Your Network name) > Data Usage > Set as metered connection.

    also they removed Forget Network option completely from GUI, so only way is from command prompt.

    in Admin CMD type to remove/Forget network:
    Code:
    netsh wlan delete profile name="YourNetworkName"
    Replacee your network name with YourNetworkName (without quotes).

    Retarded comment - you do not even need activation to test 8.1
