    Not in the right click menu.
    Open Windows Defender and choose Custom Scan option and click Scan now, then select the folder you want to scan.

    Someone probably talked about this but...

    joining a domain (in my case, an AD domain) with windows 8 machine WILL result in screen black-out (after a couple reboots).
    I can still CTRL+ALT+DEL and get to task manager, run applications, and close it, but i cannot see the desktop. It is just black screen.
    Tested using another machine; upgrading from Win7 that is already part of the same domain gave me the exact same results. Also tried on a tablet (ViewPad 10), same results.

    Did you download and install the latest Intel chipset and video drivers from Dell's downloads?

    Can't find printer setup

    I am stuck at the same screen you were, but I can't find advanced printer setup anywhere. Where is it exactly?

    I finally cobbled together a motherboard and a new sandy bridge cpu to test out the WDP. When I installed the WDP I pressed Shift+F10 at the language screen and ran diskpart. I cleaned the drive and converted it to GPT. Then I continued with the installation. Once it was complete I ran diskpart in Windows 8 is saw I still had a gpt drive with a 128MB Microsoft Reserved Partition and a second partition where Windows 8 was installed. No 100MB EFI partition like I do in Windows 7. Is this to be expected?

    Windows Developer Preview on MacBook

    -Hybrid Boot doesn't work when booting from macbook using efi bootloader, but it works when you emulate BIOS using BootCamp.
    -Nvidia graphics still need BIOS to start drivers so don't install graphic drivers if you boot using UEFI boot loader , WDP won't work anymore. (if you find a way to solve this please tell me)
    -If you install "AppleKeyboard" TrackPad will stop working.

    EFI Partitions

    Answering my own post...
    I think I figured it out. I installed Windows 7 on drive 0 using the same technique I described above. When I installed Windows Development Preview on drive 1 it appears to have used the EFI partition on drive 0. When I run bcdedit in the WDP I see the boot manager settings pointing to Volume 1 which is on drive 0. So that leads me to conclude that I can delete the Windows partition on drive 0 and do anything I want with it and I will be ok, but if I clean drive 0 and remove the EFI partition that will croak WDP on drive 1, and I don't know how I would go about getting it back. I could use the WDP install DVD to run Windows repair but there is no room on drive 1 to create an EFI partition. Would it try to recreate the EFI partition on drive 0? Maybe, but if I have formatted that drive and used it for something else that won't work. Any thoughts?? :confused:

    in those days something strange is happening, SOMETIMES when I turn off my PC with Hybrid Boot enabled and then I turn it on, all Windows wich were opened in the last session are still opened like the sistem was freezed before shut down. Is that a bug? 'couse I love this bug

    no it's not! when I boot my PC I can see the BIOS screen, and I can choose to boot other OS like OS X lion (in my case). When you hibernate a PC and restore from it, your PC boots directly into the hibernated OS and withoot loading BIOS again.

    Yes, you are right.
    So when you restart WDP and choose another OS and then restart from that OS and choose WDP, do you still have all the apps open?

    It's IS Hibernation, what you just described does not happen with Hibernation but Standby (Sleep), it does not skip bootloader when you Hibernate

    Yes I do.

    Shenj yes when you put your computer to sleep it skips the bootloader but are you sure it won't happen with Hiberation? (let me 1 minuto to try to hybernate)

    Ok, try hibernating and post your result.
