How to Disable Store App in Windows 8

 Store App of Windows 8 is a great place and very useful to download Windows 8 applications. But sometimes we don't need it, the reason can be any one of these:
  
1) You leave your Tablet of PC at public place/ office/ school where other people access it. 

2) Your Tablet or PC is used by children where there is no monitoring on them.

So, people will download large no apps from your PC which will make it difficult for maintenance. Children? you can't stop them. So if you are leaving your PC at a public place then it is a good practice to disable App Store.

Here is how you can do it, simply follow given instructions:


I) Press Winkey + R to open the Run window. Type in gpedit.msc to open the Local Group Policy Editor.





II) When the Group Policy Editor window appears, navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components.



III) In the same section, scroll down and click on Store.




IV) On the left side of the window, double-click on the Turn off the Store application option to configure it.


V) Set the setting from Not Configured to Enabled and click OK at the bottom of the window to save it.



VI) Later, when you open the Store app, you will be notified by a message like below. Note: The Store app can still be launched. Later, if you want to re-enable it, just set the setting above to Disabled.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
