gMail login page quirk IE.11 vs FF/Chromium - Help? 　 　 　 In the Left screencap is the gMail login page in IE.11, and it's what I prefer since I use AHK sequence to quick fill it in and go -- filling in both name & password w/ one click-sequence. 　 The screencap on the Right shows the gMail login page on both FF & Chromium 39, both portables -- it "suddenly" changed to this about 2 weeks ago -- where an extra click [ "Next" ] is required to be able to enter a password. 　 Can anyone help me change this back to how it was -- and how it still is in IE 11 ? 　 ** and 1 more question -- I come here for help because over the years it seems that this forum's members are the most knowledgable about nearly everything. 　 So, I'd like to ask members for suggestions as to what forum(s) other than here to visit concerning questions about Networking, as I'm beginning to study for CompTIA and eventually CISCO certifications. And, would I likely get that kind of help here in this forum -- as a newbie in Networking study, basic questions, etc? 　 Thanks very much for your time and responses - appreciated.

yes Thank You - nothing heavy duty planned for the VMs, just new app testing before adoption to the daily baseline image, with the ability to compare their behaviour side by side to the daily image. by the way - the ease of creation & multiple options of manipulation make this file-based approach to visualization seem very compelling - I think I can understand why (Microsoft-based-dependent) I.T. is evolving in this direction.

I've created several native boot vhds from w7sp1 Ultimate, and I'm storing/running them in a non-boot -- non-system partition (how's that - does it cover everyone's conflicting definitions?), but on the same physical SSD as the boot--system partition. Now I want to use these VHDs ALSO in VMs. The advice over several years seems to have been to locate VMs on a physically different hdd than the boot/system partitiion, but with SSDs - does it matter anymore since we don't have the same physical platters spinning/seeking? Thanks

Thanks Jaclaz, yes by the speeds that at least some of the transfers show, I know I'm hitting the usb.3 mark ~

My laptops have intel i5 & i7 cpus, usb 3 ports w/ drivers installed, ssds for the main internal OS drives, and SATA III for accessory drives inside the laptops. I use TeraCopy as default file copy app. When I plugin an external SATA hdd that's inside a usb 3 enclosure, into a usb 3 port and copy files to/from the interal drives, TeraCopy does give an estimated transfer speed in the title bar - which varies from 20-something to 90-something MB/s. I'm aware that file/folder types affect the transfer speeds, but my overall question is -- how can I determine for sure that transfer is occurring by means of the usb 3 standard? is there some app or Sysinternals utility that would indicate this? Or, is it a default logical inference that if the speed is showing to exceed "xxxx" MB/s, then that speed is automatically exceeding the usb 2 spec, and therefore means that usb 3 is functional ?? Hope my question is clear, if not I'll try again - thx for any helps.
