Undo "Clear Offline Items" in Outlook
2008-06-01 06:45:00
Some tips to share or to avoid from accidentally delete all your emails in your inbox MS Outlook . When I’m cleaning up and organizing my emails in MS outlook, I accidentally click the “Clear Offline Items ” in the inbox properties page causes all my important emails are gone.However, it can be recovered if you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account in Cached Exchange mode which I believe most companies setup their outlook in this way.So what I do is to click “Send and Receive” button to synchronize all the emails in the server back to my Outlook. This is how you can undo the "Clear Offline Items" in Outlook in case one day you accidentally click the "Clear Offiline Itemes" in MS Outlook.

Use Google or MS Word as Dictionary
2008-05-11 07:41:00
Sometimes when you don’t even know how to spell a word, Google and MS word come into play. This is what I usually do. Although the best dictionary Word Web has a suggestion capability but usually it doesn’t do a very good job.Let’s take a look at spelling a word “Gentlemen” and I don’t know how to spell it and I spell it as “Gentalment”. In MS Word I can right click the word and it shows me the suggested correct spelling. To check the meaning of the world I can just press “Shift + F7” but usually this MS Word dictionary sucks. To check the meaning, I would suggest to use WordWeb.Another method is using the Google Search Engine (my preferable choice) but only if you have the access to the internet. It comes out something like below “Did you mean: gentlement’s”When you click on it, it comes out the Wikipedia’s definition. However, I do not really like Wikipedia’s definition too. The explanation is just too long for me. So I would still prefer to use the W...

Vista is Very Slow! Any Solutions?
2008-03-31 14:51:00
I bet majority of people are facing the same issue – slowness when they migrate from Windows XP to Windows Vista . You may ask, what are the solutions?The simplest solution is to turn OFF all the windows visual effect. However you will lose all the Vista nice looking interfaces (GUI). No one is aware of you’re actually using Vista. So, how do you keep the Vista interface without scarify performance?Instead of choosing “Adjust for best performance”, you can select the “custom” in the performance options windows.Let’s look at the cool 3D feature in Vista (i.e. Windows Button +Tab), when do you actually use it other than just to show off? It is a completely a useless feature. To disable that, you basically just uncheck the “Enable desktop composition”.To keep the vista GUI without scarify any performance, I disable all the windows visual effect except for the following:Show preview and filters in foldersShow thumbnails instead of iconSmooth edges of screen fontsUse vis...

2008-03-20 06:09:00
I’m not really sure why the un-archive RAR utility is not come by default in windows since it can open various compress file format.How to open a RAR file?If you receive or download a *.rar file and unable to open it, you probably have heard of using the WinRAR to open it. However the problem is this WinRAR is evaluation copy! If you’re okay with evaluation copy - trial version, you can go ahead to download WinRAR software here.To completely open the RAR with a free tool, you should try 7-Zip open source software.Since 7-Zip this is the open source, don’t expect it is 100% free of bugs. I have been using it and I noticed there are few bugs here and there (e.g. browse button doesn't work). These bugs are usually minor and can be worked around pretty fast. Enjoy!Download 7-Zip here.

Sound Recorder in Vista is Completely Useless
2008-03-12 14:54:00
I’m sad to say that the sound recorder in MS Vista really sucks! A lot of useful features are gone after switching from XP to Vista. I really don’t understand why they want to do that. Did they do it in purpose? Some said it is for copy protection? Record it illegally? It doesn’t make sense because Windows Media Player has the recording capability.From this:To this:Some of the cool features like increasing and decreasing the volume of recordings, adding echo, reversing, editing the file and etc have no longer there in MS Vista. The worst part is you CANNOT playback what you have recorded. You must save it and play it with Windows Media Player. What the heck?With this new sound recorder, you can basically do 2 things only – record from microphone or line-in and save the file. That’s it. It is really inconvenient every time I’m trying to record a sound and playback.Some workaround suggested steps are:Copy the c:windows System32sndrec32.exe file from a Windows XP to Vis...

Uninstall DOM Inspector in Firefox
2008-02-23 09:56:00
At the first place, I don’t really know the reason why the DOM inspector is installed by default in Firefox . This is a highly advanced web developer feature. Normal users like you and me at application level do not require it at all. The only reason I can think of is majority of Fifefox’s users are web developers. Therefore, it is installed by default. But since Firefox has now become so popular, I think it should installed by default as most normal users do not use it.I think I read it somewhere in the latest releases of firefox, the DOM Inspestor has no longer installed by default? I can’t be sure because I haven’t tried the new installation. I usually just do the auto update from the existing Firefox.So if you do not use DOM inspector in the Firefox, I would recommend you to uninstall DOM Inspector in Firefox for better memory resources and performance. To uninstall, just go to Tools -> Add-ons and select the Add-ons that you would like to uninstall.Btw, if you think this...

Have you ever had problem to run the default defragment tools from MS Windows for few hours but still haven’t completed? Then the Auslogics Disk Defrag would probably the solution that you’re looking for.I used to run Windows defragment for 2-3 hours. During the defragmentation, I can’t use my laptop or PC at all so it ends up I wasted my time doing nothing for few hours.

Fastest Way to Download Video from YouTube
2008-01-27 07:31:00
Although there is a current method to download video from YouTube, it is still not as convenient as the recent feature from the RealPlayer latest version. This awesome feature is called “1 click download & record of web videos”.The RealPlayer Version 11 allows you to download your favourite videos by right click your mouse button. It is really very convenient as compared to my previous method. Most importantly it is not only for YouTube but also applicable to Google Video s, Yahoo Videos, ifilm, metaafe and etc. I personally find this new feature from RealPlayer is really awesome.To download the video from YouTube, just right mouse click the video and click “Download This Video To RealPlayer”. It will automatically download to the default download RealPlayer video directory (i.e. C:UsersChampDogVideosRealPlayer Downloads).However if you want to download the video to specific directory (not using the default one), you can click the drop down button (at the right of the...

Office Spy Software by Microsoft
2008-01-20 16:09:00
Microsoft is filing a software patent which able to spy or monitor employees. This reminds me a movie called “AntiTrust” which I watch in 2001. In the movie, the employer (the CEO in the movie really looks similar to Bill Gates) has software to spy on their employers. It can track every single detail what the employees do. At that point at time, I don’t think this kind of technology would come to reality because I thought it is somehow against human rights and privacy.Now, this technology has been patented by Microsoft. According to the news, this technology can measure heart rate, body temperature, movement, facial expression and blood pressure. Wow! As long as you sit in front of your personal computer or workstation, your boss can track you down every single detail to review your performance.Patent is just an idea. Whether it can be implemented and become useful in reality is still unknown. Few questions that I have are, will it be too much for office workers? What about fr...

Safe Browsing Feature in Google Desktop

I don’t aware of this feature in Google Desktop until one day it warns me about a potential harmful website. I thought all the way Google Desktop is doing indexing only. See the screen shot below:At first, I thought this is something to do with the Google search engine. Eventually after a few times of this warning, I only realized it is something to do with the Google Desktop. It looks like the Google Desktop detects those sites based on the information from StopBadware.org. Badware could be some sorts of spyware, adware, viruses or Trojan horse programsThe website is http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums. You can try click it and see whether your browser can catch this or not. However, the website doesn't seems like have potential thread but to be safe, I didn't continue browsing in that website.I think “Safe Browsing ” is turned on by default. If not, you can perform the following instructions:Go to preference page.Click the “Other” tab at the top.Tick the “Enable Safe B...

Save File to Specify Folder in Firefox
2008-01-05 13:04:00
All the while I thought Firefox has a bug that doesn’t allow user to save file to a specify folder when we download a file from internet. It always forces us to save the file the default folder (e.g. My Download). So I ignored it at the first place and waited for the fix with the later releases but I was wrong. It is not a bug, it is the Firefox default setting. When you click “Save File ” it automatically save it the default download folder.This is the default behavior – save file to default folder (I’m not sure why this is default but I don’t think it is really convenient). So what I did is I manually move the file in the download folder (default folder) to the specify folder where I want to save the file to. This is really stupid for what I did. Anyway you don’t need to.If you want Firefox to save your file in a folder that you want, perform the following instructions:Click Tools menu -> Options. The Options dialog box appears.Under the Download, select “Ask me wh...

If you’re using Blogger (Blogspot ) platform, you probably want to backup your content unless you really trust the Blogger (Blogspot) which hosted by Google won’t screw up your content. Do they have a backup as well? I really don’t’ know. Have you ever think about your blog has been hijacked one day?

If I like the song, I will right click the song and click “Add to Burn List”. I will continue doing this until the Audio CD is full.Step 4When the Audio CD is full (close to 0:00 remaining time).

MP4 is not supported by Windows Media Player
2007-12-23 10:23:00
Recently I got a video clip in MPEG-4 (.mp4) format but I was unable to play it with Windows Media Player . Later I only found out MP4 format is not supported by Windows Media Player .But wait, I thought I had already install the K-lite Codec Pack which suppose able to play MP4. Perhaps the codec was corrupted somehow and can't play MP4 format. So, what I did is to reinstall the codec. However when I uninstalled the K-lite Codec Pack, I got bunch of warnings asking me whether I want to remove this entry from registry.The following DirectShow filter was detected as broken:”Name: Native FLAC Source Filter……There are quite number of these warnings message. So, I clicked "Yes" manually one by one for each message box until the un-installation completed. I think the codec really was corrupted for some reasons. After that, I reinstall the latest K-lite Codec Pack 3.62 and finally the MP4 can be played.Thanks K-Lite Codec! :) Now I can play mp4 shared by my friend.

Copy & Paste Folder Tip in Windows

This is to share my stupidity.Consider the following scenario:Folder A (Machine X) File 1 File 2Folder A (Machine Y) File 3 File 4Assuming machine X and Y are connected in the network, I want to copy File 1 and File 2 from Machine X to Machine Y and the end-result will be something like:Folder A (Machine Y) File 1 File 2 File 3 File 4So I right click and “Copy ” Folder A in Machine X and “Paste ” it to Machine Y. A message box appears as below asking whether I want to overwrite (my assumption) the existing Folder A.What I really need to do is just click “Yes”, it will MERGE the Folder A in Machine Y without removing the existing File 3 and File 4. Before that, I used to click "No" because I thought File 3 and File 4 will be gone. So what I did is manually copy File 1 and File 2 to the Folder A in Machine Y.

Why Mozilla Firefox?

It has been quite sometime Mozilla Firefox has gain market share from internet explorer since 2004. So you may ask “Why Mozilla Firefox ?” or “Why not Internet Explorer?” It is time to understand why and you can make your own choice whether you want to switch or not. I’m going to share my own personal experience from user perspective why I like Mozilla Firefox.1. Firefox is More Secure Than IEWhen Firefox was first announced in 2004, it was more secure than IE for various reasons. This is also one of key main reasons why majority of users switch to Firefox for more secure surfing. However, when the recent IE 7 release, I no longer sure this still holds true because a lot of improvements has been made by IE all these years. No software is free of bugs and of course both Firefox and IE cannot run away from it.HOWEVER, I will still say Firefox is more secure than IE. This is also what most people say but they do not understand the reasons behind. The reason behind is hackers d...

Structured Web Search by Yahoo

However, I can't test it out as it seems like they haven't implemented yet in their search engine. I wonder could it be something similar to the Cluster Search Engine (Clusty).

I honestly don't know because I can't try. They just said it soon to be rolled out. If I want to give my best guess, I will say "No way, Structured Web Search by Yahoo cannot beat Google".

Best Free Anti-Spyware Software Review

Firewall Blocks File Sharing in Vista

Ping is okay but is the file sharing doesn't work from Vista to XP. I have tried couples of steps but no lucks. However, this doesn't happen in my home network where I can share files in 2 ways with my PC (XP).At last, I figure out the firewall which blocks the file sharing in Vista. I do enable the file sharing in the firewall (that's why I can use it in my home network) and somehow it doesn't allow in my office network. So what I did is to disable the firewall and everything works fine. I just disable the firewall in local LAN network but not the wireless LAN network. It should be quite safe since most of the time I use the wireless LAN network.I don't know if this is a bug but I believe so since I"m working fine in my home network.

100 Reasons to Use Vista

Microsoft posted a web page with 100 reasons why everyone's so speechless. It basically give 100 reasons why Vista is so amazing and why people should upgrade to Vista? This is so amazing that they can come up with 100 reasons. For me, I only able find 2 reasons as stated in my previous post on whether we should upgrade to Vista or not.First reason is Windows Aero. It is a very cool UI feature, it gives the feel of Macintosh. But remember it eats performance and your battery life (if you're using laptop). Based on some reviews on Windows Aero's performance, it consume 4-5% more power than XP. So if power and performance is not a top priority concern, Windows Aero is cool.Second reason is the security. I feel better with the User Account Control and it gives me peace of mind from hackers or intruders.Oppss... that's all I can come up with. Are those 100 reasons crap? Are these 100 reasons the key feature? Do we really need them? or it is just something not essential? I don't kno...

AVAST is better than AVG
2007-10-05 12:44:00
This is just to share a bit why I say that. I has been using the AVAST for less than 6 months and the AVAST manage to catch 3 viruses threat so far when I'm browsing the internet. However, the AVG can't catch them at all.I tested this by disabling the AVAST and visit the same site that has that virus threat. I forgot what site I have visited, if not I can probably put it here for you guys to give it a try. Anyway, this is just my experience. Honestly so far, I haven't catch any virus using AVG. I have been using AVG for 1 year. The last time I install AVAST it detected a virus in my PC which didn't caught by AVG all the while. This is so scary.Have a second thought before you decide to remove AVAST and keep AVG or choose a AVG. Is AVG is really better? I should have test the site with McAfee Anti-Virus. Anyway, I'm doubt. That's why I install both AVG and AVAST as what I recommended in my previous post. Why don't you do the same?

It looks to me like they have an intention to hide the fact that we can download the OpenOffice software for free from OpenOffice.org. I wonder what amazing extra program causes worth $47.

See my desktop below:Click here to download the free Qlock.After you install the software, the next thing is to "Create Qlock" for the places that you want. What you need to do is to right click the icon on the lower right of the task bar, then select "Create Qlock". Select the City your wants and that's it. You will have something similar to my desktop. You can drag & drop and even resize the Qlock as you like. Try to play around with it and it is very user friendly.Another thing, you can also set the alarm for each Qlock. Thought it will be useful to some of the people. I seldom use the alarm features as I don't really need it.
