Disable metro version of Google Chrome in Windows 8
If you install Google Chrome on Windows 8 and make it the default browser it will replace Internet Explorer 10 in both Metro and Desktop environments.
If you open a shortcut from a desktop application it will open in a desktop version of Chrome. And if you click on a shortcut in a metro app, it will open Metro version of Google Chrome. Seems very logical, but this may not be what you want, especially on a desktop machine.
Basically metro version of Google Chrome currently is pretty much the same as desktop version, except that it runs exclusively in full screen and also acts as a separate independent browser which doesn't share the same settings with its desktop counterpart.

Find Teamviewer Client ID remotely
If you need to find one of your TeamViewer client IDs on a local network, you can do it by remotely connecting to the client's registry.
On 32 bit machine you need to look into key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TeamViewer\Version7\ClientID
On 64 bit machine it would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\TeamViewer\Version7\ClientID
SugarSync Account Almost Full pop-up
After a routine SugarSync software update I was surprised to see a following warning:
SugarSync Account Almost Full
You have used more than 67% of your storage capacity. Once you exceed your storage capacity, you will lose the ability to sync additional files. Click here to upgrade and instantly get more storage.
SugarSync icon also changed and now displays a little explanation mark indicating that something is incorrect.
The warning would pop-up every time I login and icon is permanently marked with an exclamation mark.
This would be all well and good if I was really very close to the limit, however, I still have nearly 2 GB of my 5 GB free and with how I use SugarSync these 2 GB would last me at least couple of years. Went through all SugarSync settings and couldn't find anything what would allow to disable this warning. Then contacted SugarSync support and wasn't really surprised when received a response saying that there is no way disable this new "feature". Either upgrade or live with it! You can obviously just ignore it as synchronisation keeps working, however, I prefer to keep my desktop clean unnecessary nags and warnings and decided to look into other sync services.
