How can I change temperature scale from Celsius to Fahrenheit for Braun Thermoscan?
Note: this tip works for Braun Thermoscan Type 6013.
- Turn on the thermometer. (If it is already turned on, make sure it is not in memory mode.)
- Press the “power/mem” button and keep it pressed. Then press and release the activation button to switch over to the “change temperature scale” mode.
- By pressing the activation button again, the Celsius scale is activated. Each further pressing of the activation button toggles the scale between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
- Release the “power/mem” button to return to the ready symbol .

System Configuration Utility
I heard about this utility years ago but somehow forgot all about it. System Configuration Utility (msconfig.exe) automates the routine troubleshooting steps that Microsoft Product Support Services technicians use when diagnosing Windows configuration issues. You can use this tool to modify the system configuration through a process of elimination with check boxes, reducing the risk of typing errors.Basically you can change Windows boot and startup process (which programs are run at startup). You can run it by pressing Win + R to open “Run” dialog, entering “msconfig” and clicking “OK” button.

How do I restart a workstation via Remote Desktop?
There are several ways to restart a workstation via Remote Desktop:
- Click on the desktop and type Alt + F4. This will show the shutdown dialog, with the usual options like “Log off”, “Disconnect”, “Restart”, “Sleep”, “Shut down”.
- Type Ctrl + Alt + End (which is the Remote Desktop version of Ctrl + Alt + End). It will take you to a dialog where you can among other system-related things, also do logging off and shutting down.
