For many organizations, the removal of local administrative privileges from client computers has been recommended and pursued as a long-term goal. Nevertheless, there are scenarios in which non-administrative users, including personnel in network departments or mobile technicians, need access to configure network settings for various purposes such as troubleshooting, testing, configuring, and other related tasks.

Due to the removal of their administrative privileges on their computers or the target machines, these tasks have become challenging for these users. One solution is to assign them membership in the Local Network Configuration Operators group.

How to remove trailing spaces in Visual Studio Code

July 29, 2024 by Jesper Nielsen • 6 minutes to read

I really do not like trailing spaces. Trailing spaces are any extra spaces or tabs at the end of a line of code or text. They may seem harmless, but they can cause problems for developers, editors, and users - and they somehow burn my eyes :)

Trailing spaces can affect the efficiency of the code or file in several ways. First, they can increase the file size unnecessarily, which can slow down the loading and processing time. Second, they can interfere with the version control system, which tracks the changes made to the code or file. Trailing spaces can create false differences or conflicts, which can waste time and resources to resolve. Third, they can cause errors or bugs in some languages or tools, which can affect the functionality and performance of the code or file.

Git  is a powerful and popular version control system that allows you to track changes in your code and files, collaborating with other developers and works great with e.g., Visual Studio Code.

One of the benefits of using Git and GitHub, or similar platforms, to version your code, or use Source Control, is that you can easily integrate them with your editor of choice. For example, Visual Studio has a built-in Git support that allows you to perform common Git operations, such as staging, committing, pushing, pulling, branching, and merging, directly from the editor. You can also view the diff between versions, resolve conflicts, and access the command line if needed. This way, you can manage your code without leaving your editor, which can save you time and improve your workflow.

How to launch the Windows Settings app from Command line

The Windows Settings app is the entry point for everyday maintenance, configuration, and setup, and can be easily opened with Win + I keyboard shortcut, by clicking on the Settings icon in the Start Menu or Notification Center or by searching for it in the Windows Start Menu.

However, now, and then I need to ease the access to a particular Windows Settings page directly, and this can be easily achieved from either the Run dialog box, the Command Prompt, or using PowerShell. Access to a particular Windows Settings page is possible using URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier) which are unique references to identify specific pages in the Windows Settings app.
