How to find your router address

The other day while browsing the Internet I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows:

Typically to access a router (for example to obtain or adjust settings) this is done using a browser. The IP address is required to do this.

Click the Windows ‘Start’ button.
Click ‘Run’.
Type ‘cmd’ and press ‘Enter’ on the keyboard.
A black screen with white writing will appear on the screen.
This is the ‘Command’ window and allows you to communicate with the DSL modem.
Type ‘ipconfig’ and press ‘Enter’
You should see something like the following:

From this, you can now tell what the IP address of your router is. The Default Gateway IP Address is your broadband router.
Finally, you can Open Internet Explorer and type in this address and hit enter. Then you will have to enter your username and password to access the configuration section.

Removing or Renaming a user profile in windows vista

The other day while browsing the Internet, I Found A Fix for a recent problem I was having. The issue is described as follows;

I encountered a difficulty when attempting to reset a user profile in Windows Vista. In some cases this is not as straightforward as in XP. When I renamed the folder within C:\Users\ it did not recreate the profile when logging in. It just created a temporary profile C:\users\temp. Each subsequent logon resets this temp profile so you would keep losing changes and any files.
