How to reset Internet Explorer if you cant open Internet Explorer

Problem: IE is broken, not working, crashing, etc. You want to reset IE but it will not allow you to do it the traditional way.

Try this:

Close all applications / windows

Click Start > Run and type: inetcpl.cpl > hit enter

This should open the IE Options windows with all its tabs and settings.

If you use Vista/Win7 just type: inetcpl.cpl into the search box right above the start button

The lack of the Start menu could really kill this version. It is hard to imagine this being used in an enterprise setting.

Stuff I Like: WeatherTech Floor Liners

via weathertech.com

I just purchased a set of Weather Tech floor liners for my wife's car and I could not be happier with them. Not only do the look nice, fit perfectly, and protect the interior of your car, but they make cleaning your car so much easier.

Vacuuming the mats are so much easier than vacuuming a traditional fabric floor mat. I highly recommend these, so much so that I have purchased them for both of my cars. I can think of no better way to preserve your investment.

P.S. WeatherTech products are made in the USA

Can't Create File Error in Outlook

Problem: When opening an attachment from an email in Outlook.

Error: Can't create file: example.pdf. Right-click the folder you want to create the file in, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu to check your permissions for the folder".

Solution:

1. Open REGEDIT.EXE and go to Edit > Find... In the Find dialog box type "OutlookSecureTempFolder" without the quotes and locate that registry key.

2. That key will contain the actual folder location, and will look like:

C:\Documents and Settings\%USER_NAME%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK#\ (where # is a random letter or number)

3. Copy the location of that folder.

4. Click on Start > Run and paste the folder location from step #4 then click OK.

5. Windows Explorer will open that folder. Please, delete all files present. (Quick note: I have found that what is actually happening is that the file you are trying to open is erroring out because 100 files with the same name are already located in this folder exist. Just deleting the files with the same name of the file you are opening will resolve the issue, or you can just erase the entire contents, either will work)

6. Restart Microsoft Outlook and you should be able to open your attachments.

I Love My WRT54GL

via newegg.com

This is a rock solid router and if you have the desire to run open source firmware (DD-WRT or tomato) this is the hardware you want. This router also works great as a wireless repeater when configured correctly with DD-WRT.
