Library Web

You cannot easily control the font used to read HTML messages, since most people who send HTML mail specify the font they want their messages to appear in. If you’re bothered by that, you can follow these steps to set a default font and make an HTML message use that font.

To set the default HTML font in Outlook 2007 and newer:
When a default font is not included in an HTML message, Outlook uses the default web font. You can change this in Word. Go to Options > Advanced > General > Web Options button > Fonts and select a different font.

From
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/email/to-change-the-font-on-incoming-messages/

http://www.msoutlook.info/question/521

If no font has been specified in the message, Outlook will fall back to 12pt Times New Roman by default. You can change this default, but how and where you must change it depends on your version of Outlook and whether or not you have the same version of Word installed as well.

Changing the settings in Word

If you are using Outlook 2010 and your version of Word matches your version of Outlook, then you can make the change from within Word. If the versions don’t match, use the Registry solution at the bottom of this article.

Open the Options dialog in Word
- Word 2010
  File-> Options
Select the Advanced section at the left.
Scroll down to the “General” option group and click on; Web Options…
Select the Fonts tab.
Select; English/Western European/Other Latin script
Change the “Proportional font” setting at the bottom from Times New Roman with size 12 to the font and size of your choice. For instance Arial with a size of 10 or Calibri with a size of 11.

Many people want to have all emails come in using their choice of font, font size, foreground color and background color. By following these steps you will override the color and font settings with your desired presentation on all incoming and outgoing messages. This is especially useful for users with low vision who may want a specific font size (i.e. 18 point Arial) but do not want their emails to be sent with that font size. This can be achieved by changing the default mail format to plain text, setting outlook to read all emails as plain text and defining the font and font size for all plain text emails in Outlook’s email settings as the desirable font and font size. The additional advantage is that should you wish to view the message with all it’s fancy formatting, you simply need to open the message, press control + shift + w than select “display as HTML” from the menu that pops up.

Forcing Display and Font Presentation for Emails in Outlook 2010:

Set Plain Text:

This recommendation applies to anyone wanting a consistent email presentation within Outlook.

Here are keyboard commands to capture screenshots on an Apple computer:

Key Combination	Result
Command+Shift+3	Capture entire screen and save as a file
Command+Control+Shift+3	Capture entire screen and copy to the clipboard
Command+Shift+4	Capture dragged area and save as a file
Command+Control+Shift+4	Capture dragged area and copy to the clipboard
Command+Shift+4 then Space bar	Capture a window, menu, desktop icon, or the menu bar and save as a file
Command+Control+Shift+4 then Space bar	Capture a window, menu, desktop icon, or the menu bar and copy to the clipboard

One handy trick to know about when using the dragging methods (Command+Shift+4) is how the cursor crosshairs work:

To delineate an exact pixel region, the cursor crosshairs should overlap the top and left edges of the area you want to capture, but extend one pixel below and to the right of it. This technique works with the selection crosshairs in other applications as well.

From http://oreilly.com/digitalmedia/2006/01/01/mac-os-x-screenshot-secrets.html

This can NOT capture cursor, for that you need the Grab Utility.

Mac OS X ships with the Grab utility, located in the Applications - Utilities folder. To use Grab, double-click on its icon and choose the type of image you want to capture.

Screen shot.

Figure 3. Using Grab for screen capture.

Grab supports three modes of screen capture:

    Selection: Select the region you want to capture using the mouse
    Screen: Capture the entire screen
    Timed Screen: Capture the entire screen after a specific time interval

If you are NOT using laptop often, it is not good to leave it plugged in, charging constantly.

For long term storage, best to have battery charge at 50%, and remove it.

Once a month drain battery to empty and recharge.

From printer techs

Want to install printer via .BAT script, not Active Directory or group policy:

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624057(WS.10).aspx

Printui.dll is the executable file that contains the functions used by the printer configuration dialog boxes. These functions can also be called from within a script or a command-line batch file, or they can be run interactively from the command prompt.

Base Parameters	Description
/dl	Deletes the local printer.
/dn	Deletes a network printer connection.
/dd	Deletes a printer driver.
/e	Displays the printing preferences for a given printer.
/ga	Adds a per computer printer connection (the connection is available to any user on that computer when they log on).
/ge	Displays per computer printer connections on a computer.
/gd	Deletes a per computer printer connection (the connection is deleted the next time a user logs on).
/ia	Installs a printer driver by using an .inf file.
/id	Installs a printer driver by using the Add Printer Driver Wizard.
/if	Installs a printer by using an .inf file.
/ii	Installs a printer by using the Add Printer wizard with an .inf file.
/il	Installs a printer by using the Add Printer wizard.
/in	Connects to a remote network printer.
/ip	Installs a printer by using the Network Printer Installation Wizard (available from the user interface from Print Management).
/k	Prints a test page on a printer.
/o	Displays the queue for a printer.
/p	Displays the properties of a printer. When you use this parameter, you must also specify a value for the modification parameter /n[name].
/s	Displays the properties of a print server. If you want to view the local print server, you do not need to use a modification parameter. However, if you want to view a remote print server, you must specify the /c[name] modification parameter.
/Ss	Specifies what type of information for a printer will be stored. If none of the values for /Ss are specified, the default behavior is as if all of them were specified. Use this base parameter with the following values placed at the end of the command line: 2: Use to store the information contained in the printer’s PRINTER_INFO_2 structure. This structure contains the basic information about the printer such as its name, server name, port name, and share name. 7: Use to store the directory service information contained in the PRINTER_INFO_7 structure. c: Use to store the color profile information for a printer. d: Use to store printer specific data such as the printer’s hardware ID. s: Use to store the printer’s security descriptor. g: Use to store the information in the printer’s global DEVMODE structure. m: Use to store the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g. u: Use to store the information in the printer’s per user DEVMODE structure.
/Sr	Specifies what information about a printer is restored and how conflicts in settings are handled. Use with the following values placed at the end of the command line: 2: Use to restore the information contained in the printer’s PRINTER_INFO_2 structure. This structure contains the basic information about the printer such as its name, server name, port name, and share name. 7: Use to restore the directory service information contained in the PRINTER_INFO_7 structure. c: Use to restore the color profile information for a printer. d: Use to restore printer specific data, such as the printer’s hardware ID. s: Use to restore the printer’s security descriptor. g: Use to restore the information in the printer’s global DEVMODE structure. m: Use to restore the minimal settings for the printer. This is equivalent to specifying 2, d, and g. u Use to restore the information in the printer’s per user DEVMODE structure. r: If the printer name stored in the file is different from the name of the printer being restored to, then use the current printer name. This cannot be specified with f. If neither r nor f is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails. f: If the printer name stored in the file is different from the name of the printer being restored to, then use the printer name in the file. This cannot be specified with r. If neither f nor r is specified and the names do not match, restoration of the settings fails. p: If the port name in the file being restored from does not match the current port name of the printer being restored to, the printer’s current port name is used. h: If the printer being restored to could not be shared using the resource share name in the saved settings file, then attempt to share the printer with either the current share name or a new generated share name. If neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails. h: If the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then do not share the printer. If neither H nor h is specified and the printer being restored to cannot be shared with the saved share name, then restoration fails. i: If the driver in the saved settings file does not match the driver for the printer being restored to, then the restoration fails.
/Xg	Retrieves the settings for a printer.
/Xs	Sets the settings for a printer.
/y	Sets the printer being installed as the default printer.
/?	Displays the in-product Help for the command and its associated parameters.

Mapping Drive for all users in Windows 7

Want to map drive for all users in Windows 7, but NOT using Active Directory, or Group policy. Here is using .bat script:

Open your prefered text editor such as notepad or notepad++. (You will have to run-as-admin if you have UAC enabled due to where we will be saving it.)

Type in your code:
@Echo Off
Net use P: \\Server\Share1 /Persistent:No
Net use Q: \\Server\Share2 /Persistent:No
Net use G: \\Server2\Share3 /Persistent:No

I used /Persistent:No because I am confident in the server connectivity and do not want to have to use a Net Use [Drive] /Delete in order to remove drives later. The script will be running everytime at each logon so I did not feel the need for it to reconnect itself.
You may use a /Persistent:Yes if you wish, but this means that the drive will remain even if you later remove it from the logon script. As mentioned above, you can counteract this with a net use [drive] /delete.

Save the file as a .bat file to %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
Example:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\

If you need to specify alternate credentials, you can do so with "Net Use Z: \\Server\Share /User:Domain\Username Password" but be warned, this will save the password in plain text for anyone to read. And the script will be quite easily findable as it will be in everyone's StartMenu -> Programs -> Startup folder. (Which means it's also easy for users to re-run the script if they've lost their drives for some reason. Or they could just log out and back in.)

This will also work for other Windows operating systems, even Windows 8 despite not having a Start Menu (the files are still there, and I can confirm that items in the startup folder will be run at logon), but the location you need to save the script in might be different. If you right click on the folder in the start-menu, you can generally get the opion to "Open All Users". This should let you know where it is. Except for Windows 8 obviously... stupid not having a start-menu... Pretty sure it was in the same location as Windows 7.

---------------------------------

net use [{devicename | *}] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [{password | *}]] [/user:[domainname\]username] [/user:[dotteddomainname\]username] [/user:[username@dotteddomainname] [/home {devicename | *} [{password | *}]] [/persistent:{yes | no}] [/smartcard] [/savecred] [/delete] [/help] [/?]

devicename = Use this option to specify the drive letter or printer port you want to map the network resource to. For a shared folder on the network, specify a drive letter from D: through Z: and for a shared printer, LPT1: through LPT3:. Use * instead of specifying devicename to automatically assign the next available drive letter, starting with Z: and moving backwards, for a mapped drive.
\\computername\sharename = This specifies the name of the computer, computername, and the shared resource, sharename, like a shared folder on a or shared printer connected to computername. If there are spaces anywhere here, be sure to put the entire path, slashes included, in quotes.

volume = Use this option to specify the volume when connecting to a NetWare server.

password = This is the password needed to access the shared resource on computername. You can choose enter the password during the execution of the net use command by typing * instead of the actual password.

/user = Use this net command option to specify a username to connect to the resource with. If you don't use /user, net use will attempt to connect to the network share or printer with your current username.

Had an LCD monitor go bad (stopped working, did not turn on), it turns out it is not too difficult to repair, need to replace capacitors:

Spent 5 hours trying to connect user to a network share, forgot Sharing vs Security in windows.

Short answer: setup SHARING first, for additional control (eg not all files with same permissions) then use Security via NTFS.

Some details from HowtoGeek:

Share Permissions:

Only apply to users who access the resource over the network. They don’t apply if you log on locally, for example through terminal services.

It applies to all files and folders in the shared resource. If you want to provide a more granular sort of restriction scheme you should use NTFS Permission in addition to shared permissions

If you have any FAT or FAT32 formatted volumes, this will be the only form of restriction available to you, as NTFS Permissions are not available on those file systems.

NTFS Permissions:

The only restriction on NTFS Permissions is that they can only be set on a volume that is formatted to the NTFS file system

Remember that NTFS are cumulative that means that a users effective permissions are the result of combining the user’s assigned permissions and the permissions of any groups the user belongs to.

http://smallbusiness.chron.com/copy-list-files-windows-folder-excel-list-40032.html

Step 1
Press "Win-E" to open Windows Explorer and locate the folder for which you need a file list.

Step 2
Hold the "Shift" key, right-click the folder and select "Open Command Window Here." This only works with folders, not libraries. Libraries point to a specific folder, so select the folder located under the library icon. If the library points to a drive, right-click the drive letter from the folder tree.

Step 3
Type "dir /b > dirlist.txt" without quotes and press "Enter." This creates a list containing file names only. To include file sizes and dates, type "dir > dirlist.txt" instead. To also include files in sub-directories, type "dir /b /s > dirlist.txt" to create a list of files with the full directory structure name, such as "C:\folder\subdirectory\file.txt."

Step 4
Open Microsoft Excel and press "Ctrl-O" to bring up the Open dialog window.

Step 5
Navigate into the folder containing the files. Click the file type drop-down menu and select "Text Files (*.prn,*.txt,*.cvs)." Double-click "dirlist.txt" to open it.

Step 6
Click "Finish" in the Text Import Wizard window to use the default options and import the directory list into Excel.

Have a user that regularly has problems with Outlook locking up. Will try un-checking "Use Cached Exchange Mode" to see if it helps.

“Cached Exchange Mode” VS “Online Mode”
Online Mode works by always using information directly from the server. If you do not have network connectivity, you cannot access any of your email information. When new information is required in Outlook, a request is made to the server and the information is displayed. Mailbox data is only cached as temporary files in your computer’s memory and never gets written to your computer’s file storage.
With Cached Exchange Mode, Outlook stores your email, calendar and contacts information on your computer and updates all this information periodically from the Exchange Server.

From: https://www.amherst.edu/offices/it/help/email/email/outlookwindows/cachedexchangeoutlook

In Exchange / Outlook 2010, there are several features that require Cached Exchange Mode:
•Junk E-mail Filter
•Instant Search
•Conversation View (Show Messages from Other Folders)
•Clean Up
•People Pane / Outlook Social Connector

Installing the new Sierra java client for our Innovative Interfaces OPAC was easy, just use this URL

http://your.iii.server.com/sierra/desktop

but in some computers (about a quarter) gave the following java error:

"Gadget needs Java click here to install" and just had a general link to java.com website.

This link worked in starting the java machine install:

http://iii.server.name/web/gadgets/sierraDesktopApp/noWebStart/Web_Installers/install.htm

Important:

When running install for Sierra, use domain name (eg iii.yourservername.edu) instead of IP address.

Sierra does not work if use IP address for the Innovative Server address, use domain name instead.

Note:

See comment below, John H has suggested that adding your server URL to Compatibility View Settings in Java Security settings will solve this problem.

6 Ways To Take Screenshots On Android

No matter what device you have, you can take a screen image without rooting your device. But rooting your device offers you some neat tricks — even if you’re using Android 4.0. You can take a screenshot by shaking your device or wirelessly via a web browser.

Take a Screenshot with Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)

If you’re using Android 4.0 or later, this is easy. Just press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time. You’ll see an animation on the screen, indicating that the screen photo was saved. Android will save the image to your Gallery. Launch the Gallery app and tap Screenshots to view and share your screenshot.

Android SDK

You can take a screenshot on any Android device using Google’s Android SDK. After you’ve set up the Android SDK, all you have to do is connect your Android phone or tablet to your computer with its USB cable and fire up the SDK.
This isn’t the most user-friendly application to set up, but it’s easy to use once you’ve set it up. We’ve got a guide to setting up the SDK and taking screenshots.

AShot aka Android Screen Capture

AShot is a free, open-source way to take screen images of your Android device from your computer. It requires the Android SDK installed and properly configured. AShot offers a variety of advantages over the Android SDK screenshot feature, including near-real-time streaming of your Android’s screen to the Ashot application on your computer. You won’t have to keep clicking the Refresh button, as in the SDK. For more information, check out our AShot walkthrough.

Manufacturer Shortcuts

Some manufacturers build special screenshot shortcuts into their pre-Android 4.0 devices. For example, on many Samsung Android devices, including the Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II (pre-Ice Cream Sandwich versions), you can press the Home and Power buttons at the same time to take a screen snapshot – in practice, you’ll press and hold the Home button, then quickly press the Power button. On the Galaxy S, press and hold the Back button and the Power button, or try pressing the Back button and double-tapping the Home button.
Different pre-Android 4.0 devices use a variety of different shortcuts – give it a Google and you might find that your device has a built-in screenshot shortcut you don’t know about.

Device-Specific Apps

These manufacturer-specific hooks into the OS allow some apps to provide an easy-to-use, on-device way to take screen image. For example, Samsung Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, and Galaxy S II (pre-ICS) users can use Screen Capture Shortcut Free to capture a screenshot without rooting their phones.
Another example of a device-specific app is AndroSS, which can take screen images on Android without root access on Tegra devices. If you’re not sure whether a device-specific app exists for your device, search the Google Play Store and see.
take screenshot android

Root Apps

The reason you have to jump through the hoops above instead of simply installing a screenshot app is because of Android’s security model. Android doesn’t allow apps to view your device’s screen – this could be a security problem. For example, a malicious app could spy on your online banking sessions. There’s no permission apps can request to take snapshots of your screen.
To give an app permission to view your screen, you’ll need to root your Android. After rooting your Android, you can install one of the many screen snapshot applications that require root from Google Play. There are many options to choose from, although many of them are paid apps. aScreenshot is a free app that worked for me. You can take a screenshot in a variety of ways, including shaking your device, tapping a notification, or setting a delay. Other apps have similar features.

AirDroid, an awesome free app we’ve covered in the directory, also supports taking a screen shot on rooted devices. You can capture those images wirelessly via your web browser. AirDroid can control many other aspects of your device from a browser, too.

From Hardanswers:

Error “The action can’t be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program. Close the file or folder and try again” and it mentions Thumbs.db

Locked thumbs.db

To fix this, disable the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files via the Group Policy Editor as below:

Run gpedit.msc
Navigate to:
User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Explorer
Set “Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files” to Enable.
You may need to log off or force group policy to update before this takes effect, I am not sure.
To force group policy to update, run gpudate /force

Or see the following Microsoft KB article which contains a Fix It to do this for you (and instructions on how to do it via the registry if you have a version of Windows 7 without the Group Policy Editor).

Counting (numbering) the items

Sometimes you want to number the items in your report. For instance, in the Sales by product report, you might want "1" to precede the first item in a product group, "2" to precede the second item, and so on. When the next product group begins, the counting starts over, and "1" precedes the first item. I discussed a technique for doing this in the "Summing in reports" article, in the section Tip: Numbering the rows. Because it's a common request related to counting in reports, I'll also revisit it briefly here.

Numbering the items in a report

You can number the items in your report by using a calculated control and the RunningSum property. First, you create a text box and set its ControlSource property to =1.

Then, you set the RunningSum property for the text box. If you want the numbering to start over for each group, set the property to Over Group. If you want to accumulate a running sum for the entire report, set the property to Over All. For more information about running sums and the RunningSum property, see the section Calculating running sums (cumulative totals), in the "Summing in reports" article.

The expression sets the value of the text box control to "1". Because the RunningSum property is used to accumulate the value, the value in the text box is increased by one for every row. The Sales by Product with Running Sum and Numbered Rows report, in the sample database, demonstrates this technique. Entering a period (.) in the Format property box appends a period to the end of the number.

For detailed step-by-step instructions for numbering the items, see the following expandable section:

Step-by-step: How to number the items in a report

To open the report in Design view

In the Database window, under Objects, click Reports.
Click the report, and then click Design in the Database window.

To create the text box control

In the Detail section, click where you want the number to appear.
In the Toolbox, click the Text Box tool.

Note If the Toolbox is not visible, on the View menu, click Toolbox.

In the Detail section of the report, drag the pointer to create a text box, making sure that it's wide enough to accommodate the largest item number. For example, if you will likely have one hundred orders, you will need space for at least three characters (100). If a label appears next to the text box, delete the label.
Select the text box, and then click Properties on the View menu.
Click the All tab, and then type txtItemNumber in the Name property box.
Click the Data tab, and then select Over Group in the Running Sum property box.
Type =1 in the Control Source property box.
Click the Format tab, and then type #. in the Format property box.
Close the property sheet.
On the File menu, click Save and then close the report.
