Weather you like it or not, Office 2007 is slowly starting to creep into corporate networks around you. The biggest problem with this change is the totally different file format.

The automatic login feature of windows is nice. It can be used for that machine you don’t need to lock down – or when deploying a system image that will reboot a few times during setup.

One of my major hangups with vista is the ‘Search Bar’. When I first started using Vista I felt that Microsoft had done a great thing – They made it so I could launch my favorite program with one click instead of two. I was quickly disappointed to find that when you type a word […]

When I was looking at the documentation for the registry and keys associated with the command processor I came across this: Hmm. For the fun of it I opened up the key and put ‘notepad.exe’ in the AutoRun value.(To see how this actually worked) Any time I opened a console application, or a command prompt […]
