Today I will write a Linux article for a change. Windows fans, don't worry I am not ditching Windows. As you know I use Linux too alongside Windows to keep an eye on the best distros and best window managers. Fluxbox is one such awesome window manager for Linux, my favorite one. It is extremely lightweight, blazingly fast, easily configurable and very feature rich. You can use it without any Desktop Environment and still manage windows comfortably and productively. By default, Fluxbox places newly opened windows ordered in a row until the screen width allows them. I did not find this behavior very useful and would like to share with you how it is possible to place newly opened Fluxbox windows at the center of the screen.
Speed up OpenVPN and get faster speed over its channel
OpenVPN is a well-known VPN client for secure remote access or virtual private networking. If you use OpenVPN and experience a slow speed over its channel, you might be getting annoyed. This issue is very common for all OpenVPN users. While the general advice you can find on the Internet is to tweak the MTU (Maximum transmission unit) value and/or MSSFIX parameters, here is another trick you should try. It can help you significantly improve the bandwith. Here's what you should try.

Enable save as MHTML option in Google Chrome
For years, Internet Explorer has supported saving a web page as a single file web archive (.MHT). You might be surprised to know that Google Chrome has also added native support for saving pages as MHTML but it is not enabled by default. MHTML is an extremely convenient format for sharing with someone because everything from the HTML page is saved to a single *.mhtml file - all the text, CSS styles, scripts and even images will be saved. It also keeps your folder with saved web pages tidier. Let me show you how to activate the MHTML support in Google Chrome without using add-ons or plugins.
Speedup Google Chrome by enabling fast tab/window close
Google Chrome has a number of hidden settings, some of which are disabled by default because they are experimental. Many of these make it eventually into Chrome as a regular feature, or some of them get dropped. In any case, you should note that the experimental settings can disappear any time.

How to share and install your Windows Store apps with other user accounts on your PC
If you downloaded a free or paid Metro app from the Windows Store, it will be installed only for your currently logged-in user account. It won't be available for other user accounts on your Windows 8 or Windows 10 PC. This is radically different from the desktop app model where you could install an app for all users at once. If you share your PC with your family members and they all have their own accounts, you might be interested in knowing how to install the same app you downloaded on other user accounts. Let me show you how to do it.
How to run an app as Administrator in Windows 10
Windows 10, like all Windows versions since Windows Vista, includes User Account Control or UAC which limits the user's rights even if he is a member of the Administrators group so that malicious apps or malware can't make unauthorized changes to your PC. However, there are a number of older desktop apps which don't work properly in Windows 10 unless they are run as administrator. Some users prefer to disable UAC entirely in Windows 10, but this is a bad idea from a security standpoint. Besides, when you disable UAC, you lose the ability to run Modern apps. The right way is to run certain apps as Administrator as and when it is required. Let me show you all the ways in which you can run desktop apps as administrator.
