Once a week we round up and share excellent reader tips with you. This week we’re looking at removing the restriction on Windows 8’s “Secure Boot”, an open source solution for launching apps from Windows Media Center, and a simple trick to speed up Windows installations.

我们每周一次汇总并与您分享优秀的读者提示。 本周，我们要消除对Windows 8的“安全启动”的限制，该安全启动是用于从Windows Media Center启动应用程序的开源解决方案，并且是加快Windows安装速度的简单技巧。

删除Windows 8“安全启动”功能以便轻松进行双重启动 (Removing Windows 8 “Secure Boot” Feature for Easy Dual Booting)

Reader Scoobford sends in his trick for getting rid of the secure boot feature on Windows 8. He writes:

读者Scoobford提出了摆脱Windows 8上安全启动功能的技巧。他写道：

1. Install Windows 8

1.安装Windows 8

2. Install Ubuntu(in my example) via Wubi(may work with grub too, don’t know)3. INstall EasyBCD inside windows 8, select Ubuntu as default OS.4. Reboot. The fancy OS selection is gone, but you can use Ubuntu now as well—once you finish installing by booting into Ubuntu.

2.通过Wubi安装Ubuntu(在我的示例中)(也许也可以与grub一起使用)3。 在Windows 8内安装EasyBCD，选择Ubuntu作为默认OS.4。 重启。 高端操作系统的选择已经消失了，但是您现在也可以使用Ubuntu –一旦启动进入Ubuntu即可完成安装。

There’s a more detailed guide .

有更详细的指南。

Thanks for writing in Scoobford! While this work around does make it easier to dual boot with Linux and other “unapproved” operating systems, it does remove the malware protection element of the Secure Boot system implemented in Windows 8.

感谢您在Scoobford中撰写文章！ 尽管此解决方案确实使使用Linux和其他“未经批准”的操作系统进行双重引导变得更加容易，但它确实删除了Windows 8中实现的安全引导系统的恶意软件保护元素。

从Windows Media Center启动任何应用程序或网站 (Launch Any Application or Web Site from Windows Media Center)

Chris writes in with his open source solution for launching apps from within Windows Media Center. He writes:

克里斯使用他的开源解决方案进行了编写，以便从Windows Media Center中启动应用程序。 他写：

I wrote a little utility (open source) that launches web apps or any program for media center; you can . TheDigitalLifestyle wrote up a detailed review of it if anyone wants a closer look (screenshot from the DL write up).

我写了一个小工具(开源)，它可以启动Web应用程序或媒体中心的任何程序。 你可以 。 如果有人想近距离观看，则DigitalLifestyle 了详细的评论(DL编写的屏幕截图)。

It looks really easy to configure Chris, nice work.

配置Chris看起来非常容易，不错的工作。

加快Windows安装过程 (Speed Up Windows Installation Process)

Rishi writes in with the following tip about speeding up your Windows installation:

Rishi撰写了以下有关加快Windows安装速度的提示：

In order to accelerate installation, one can open up Task Manager by Shift+F10 while the installation is running. This will launch a command prompt where you can type “taskmgr” to launch the Task Manager. Here you can give a high priority to the installation process. This considerably reduces the installation time.

为了加速安装，可以在安装运行时通过Shift + F10打开任务管理器。 这将启动命令提示符，您可以在其中键入“ taskmgr”以启动任务管理器。 在这里，您可以将安装过程置于高优先级。 这大大减少了安装时间。

Clever trick, Rishi. Even if the trick didn’t radically increase the installation time, it’s still a terribly handy way to access the command prompt and/or the Task Manager during the Windows installation process. Thanks!

聪明的把戏，Rishi。 即使该技巧并没有从根本上增加安装时间，它仍然是在Windows安装过程中访问命令提示符和/或任务管理器的非常方便的方法。 谢谢！
