I’ve come across another issue that’s really starting to bug me. Whenever I insert an image into an Outlook e-mail message the default size of the image is always going in as 133% its original size.
I’ve looked quickly and can not figure out where I need to go to change this default setting.
If anyone can […]

If you’ve been reading here very long you’re probably aware that I’ve been teaching myself VB, .NET and SQL over the past couple of years.
One of my challenges of learning is that if I’m not using something regularly, I forget it or the information isn’t just sitting in the back of my head waiting […]

I wrote this post Sunday afternoon and then lost it so let’s try this again. A recent commenter, Gary, on a post on my other blog, Uncover the Internet, was asking about finding the icon files for using in a customized Google toolbar.

Here’s some quick information to probably serve as a reminder for everyone. I saw these two files on my system and wondered what they were for:
pagefile.sys
hiberfil.sys
With names like those and the listing of them as a System file type, it’s at least a little obvious that these aren’t just some random temp file you […]

The question today is whether or not there is an easy, efficient and effective way to “tag” files. My brother presented the question to me initially and I began searching. The goal is to be able to tag any file whatsoever and then be able to search for one of those keywords and see […]

I was reminded today of a real annoyance of mine when I’m trying to work with Outlook. Somewhat frequently in my week I receive an e-mail with a graphic or image in it that I need to do some editing. It’s not really any serious editing that needs to be done, just a notation […]

Catching up on some past e-mails and came across this little article about “Eight Handy Tools in Microsoft Word You Probably Don’t Know About” on PC Magazine’s website.
Given that Word and Excel are probably the two top applications that are used by the widest group of people from business information specialists to students; getting tips […]

My boss experienced an weird problem with his installation of Visual Web Developer Express 2008.
When he tried to view a web user control page in the design mode the application only displayed a blank white page. If he clicked on the “Source” view, all the code was there that was expected. Combing through the […]

Since I’ve been playing with Xobni more one question I’ve come across is why doesn’t Xobni use Outlook’s own contact photo information?
That was somewhat of a rhetorical question because I didn’t really need an answer and it wasn’t worth completely pursuing for an answer.

Doing the weekly updates and maintenance of the computers around the office I think I’ve found a computer with a virus or malware.
The problem though is that nothing I’m using to scan both offline and off are finding anything.
When I try to download and install an update for Lavasoft’s AdAware application I’m prompted […]
