Recovering Deleted Mail in Outlook
Disclaimer: This is only for those using Exchange (and always backup your registry before editing).
So you’ve hit Shift-Delete on a mail item or perhaps even setup a POP account on a system that totally drains all of your messages from your Inbox. Don’t fret, highlight the folder in question, go to Tools > Recover Deleted [...]
Verizon Survey – Not!
Five days after I switched to AT&T, I received an e-mail from Verizon with the request: “Please tell us how we can improve”.
I thought I would let them know they might try having a better selection of smart phones (sorry, 19 different flavors of Blackberry only count as one), letting customers know when more suitable [...]
Out of Band Windows Update
As you may or may not know, Microsoft releases patches every second Tuesday of the month so that businesses can plan on having a regular update schedule.
This week Microsoft released two critical patches one for Internet Explorer and the other to fix code generated by Visual Studio. Since this is outside of their normal release cycle, it’s [...]
Now I’m part of the iCrowd
I finally caved and bought an iPhone. The tipping point was that my Verizon contract was up and I could save about $25/month by going to AT&T. (A friend of a friend is the store manager.)
It also helped that the iPhone 3Gs came out, offered a mature OS with a landscape keyboard and the big [...]

The method for upgrading the policy is to fire up the Exchange Command Shell and run the following command:
Set-EmailAddressPolicy “Default Policy” -IncludedRecipients AllRecipients
You may recieve the following error: Set-EmailAddressPolicy:The recipient policy “Default [...]
Gmail Unleashed
Great googly moogly! After five years Gmail (and Apps) is no longer in beta. And instead of yelling it from the rooftops (since many businesses won’t rely on beta products) they are just mumbling it quietly.
I guess Google doesn’t need the business since they are pretty much just printing money at this point.
Windows 7 Beta to RC Upgrade
Thanks to the MakeTechEasier blog for this tip which saves a full reinstall when upgrading from Windows 7 Beta to the latest RC. This is unsupported by Microsoft, but since it is a release candidate I think you can fudge on the need fom a fresh install. I’ve already installed quite a bit of software [...]
Your Own Blog as a Resource
I thought I’d share the irony: for the second time this week I’ve used my own blog as a resource. Once for Exchange 2007 logging and then today to find the wireless key viewer link.
At least someone finds it useful ;-)
Xmarks the spot (for bookmarks)
Formerly known as Foxmarks, Xmarks is a great tool that synchronizes your Favorites/Bookmarks (depending on the browser you use).
Just install the small app on each of the computers you wish to keep synchronized and it does the rest. I really wish I would’ve found this earlier; years of copying and sorting on numerous computers left [...]
