Add display resolution to VirtualBox guest VM (tested for Win 10 guest)

VBoxManage.exe setextradata "VM Name" CustomVideoMode1 "2560x1440x32"

Make sure that also enough Video memory and 3D Acceleration is available for your VM. You can provide these settings in the VM configuration under Display.

Change Windows Explorer from Quick Access to This PC (Windows 10)

• Start Windows Explorer
• Go to View in the menu.
• Select Options.
• Select Open File Explorer to This PC.

Move Firefox profile from one computer to another

• Install Firefox on the new computer.
• Copy the profile folder from one computer to another. You can find and manage the profile location by using the profile manager (starting Firefox with the -p option, i.e. firefox -p) or by typing about:profiles in a firefox tab.
• Create the profile you wish to use on the new computer’s Firefox with the profile manager and select the copied profile folder.
• If you use multiple Firefox profiles,
  • repeat the above process for each profile.
  • copy your Firefox folder (e.g. c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox). I name them after the profile name I use, e.g. c:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox Facebook).
  • create a link in the taskbar for each Firefox instance and add -no-remote -p "profile name" (e.g. profile name would be Facebook in the above example) to the shortcut.
  • start the Firefox profile using the created link. Now you will see that the Firefox icon appears twice in the taskbar.
  • unpin the link you used to start Firefox.
  • pin the the link to the taskbar of the started Firefox.
  • Open %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar in the Windows Explorer. Add -no-remote -p "profile name" to the link again. Change the icon if you want different icons for each Firefox profile in you taskbar.
  • If you don’t see the new icon right away, restart the Windows Explorer or wait for the next reboot.

After a tedious process, you are done!

Show WLAN password in Windows 10 via command prompt/cmd

netsh wlan show profiles

shows all saved WLAN connections

netsh wlan show profiles name="mynetworkname" key=clear

where mynetworkname is the name of the network you want to connect to.

Prerequisite: You successfully connected to the WLAN with the password in the past.

Does not work for all networks. I didn’t examine why it works sometimes and why not.
