When copying and pasting a wide variety of external data into Excel, it creates custom styling in the workbook and over time it accumulates and you no longer are able to create any more formatting changes. I found this great VB script on Microsoft's website that when run will remove all formatting styles and replace them with the default. It will also reduce your spreadsheet size from MB to KB.<br />

Outlook stores these files and other temporary data in a place called the OLK folder. The location of the folder may vary based on the user logged in, the operating system and version of Outlook. I am using Outlook 2010, so to find the OLK folder, I opened up regedit and browsed to the registry path:<br />
<br />
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security<br />
<br />
Once there the <b>OutlookSecureTempFolder</b> key value is the path to your OLK folder. Substitute the version number for the outlook version you have in the registry path. It should be obvious once you get to the Office key what version you have, but just in case, I have included a table for your reference below.<br />
<br />
Good luck!<br />
<br />
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"><tbody>
<tr><th>Outlook </th> <th><div style="text-align: left;">Version Number</div></th> </tr>

Come to find out, after running <a href="http://www.sixty-five.cc/sm/v1x.php">SpaceMonger</a> it showed a 4 GB file hiberfil.sys. I remember only seeing this file on laptops when hibernation is turned on. I am not sure why anyone would want hibernation turned on for a server. There was no option to turn off hibernation in the GUI so I had to turn it off using the following command at the command line:<br /><div><br /></div><div>powercfg.exe /hibernate off</div><div><br /></div>Hanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671649809989349947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838730047505834.post-44542732084268211582009-07-14T13:08:00.004-04:002009-07-16T07:55:37.923-04:00Chrome OS<p style="margin-top:15.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:3.75pt;margin-left: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#004D99;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">Thought that this was an interesting article about the Chrome OS written by an ex-employee at Google. </span></span></p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 15px; "><h1 class="mgtitle" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/43393">Ex-Googler says Chrome OS will be a vastly different OS but won’t displace Windows</a></span></span></h1></span><p style="margin-top:15.0pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:3.75pt;margin-left: 0in"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#004D99;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">I think a dual boot situation is the way to go.

I would love to get a hold of this software... If anyone knows someone at Google that can hook me up with a free beta, I would love to help them test.Hanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16671649809989349947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883838730047505834.post-47782249168861488102009-02-10T23:30:00.004-05:002009-02-20T10:35:51.350-05:00WordPress 2.7 FeedKey plugin now working for CommentsI was asked by a few people to make the changes to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/feed-key/">Feed Key</a> plugin for Wordpress so that users could subscribe with a feedKey similar to the <a href="http://craniumtales.blogspot.com/2009/02/wordpress-members-only-plugin.html"> changes I made to the Members Only plugin</a><br /><br /><div>You can download version 0.2.1 by right clicking and download the updated file <a href="http://www.menziweb.com/projects/feed-key/feed-key.php.txt">here</a>.

Members Only is a WordPress plugin that requires users to login to your blog in order to read/write. In addition, you can protect your RSS feed as a unique URL is generated for each user.</div><div><br /></div>Every user was getting the following error:<div><blockquote>Feed Key is Invalid<br />The Feed Key you used is invalid. It is either incorrect or has been revoked. Please login to obtain a valid Feed Key. </blockquote></div><div><div>The feed URL in the version of Members Only that worked with 2.6 changed during the upgrade to 2.7, so a simple URL change solved the problem. I attempted to contact the plugin's author <a href="http://andrewhamilton.net/">Andrew Hamilton</a> and sent him the updated files, but I have not heard anything from him, so I am posting here for those who can use it.</div><div><div><br /></div><div>Along the way, the need arose for a comment feed, so I modified the existing plugin and added the URL needed for the comment feed. This change was also submitted to Andrew.</div><div><br /></div><div>Right click and download the updated file <a href="http://www.menziweb.com/projects/members-only/members-only.php.txt">here</a>.
