When System Restore Doesn’t Restore

During the time I was fighting with my hard drive issues I decided it was probably time to try and clean off the 60GB drive in my laptop as well. I fired up the Control Panel and got to the Add/Remove Programs and started scanning the list of applications I’ve decided I don’t use frequently […]

Downloaded and Installed Internet Explorer 8 Beta

Seems to be the week for testing new browsers I guess. I wasn’t really impressed much with my experience with Google’s Chrome browser, and I wasn’t expecting much earth-shattering changes out of Internet Explorer 8.
My first frustration with IE8 is that the Google Toolbar isn’t working so that’s disabled. That for me means that […]

Microsoft Outlook Connector Sign-on Errors

I’ve been extremely happy with my experiences using the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector. If you’re not familiar, it allows you to completely integrate your Hotmail account into Microsoft Outlook.

Making It Easier to Send Email to Contacts

 
Today as I was working on developing some items for clients, I was reminded of another small frustration I have with Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The application is built for email management right? I use it to quickly and efficiently send emails to friends, family, business colleagues, prospective clients, etc.
Why isn’t the “Send Email” link […]
