    Thank you very much dear Brink. Appreciate all your useful tutorials. Right now I have another question,
    though, which is somewhat related to this thread.
    Is it possible to adjust screen brightness in Windows 8 by assigning a keyboard shortcut to it? If not directly
    fromthe windows itself, maybe by using some sort of utility or a hack ?
    I have a Sony VAIO VPCEB1S1E/BJ laptop and I installed Windows 8, which is not officially supported by Sony
    for this laptop and the only problemI have as a comparability is to make Sony brightness control software to
    work on this Windows!
    Would be glad to hear fromyou, I hope there is some solution for this, thanks.
