Se você não souber que o que eu significo por “auto completo” ele sou a característica no Outlook esse termina o que você está datilografando. Por exemplo, quando eu estou a ponto de datilografar para fora um endereço no “” ao campo de um email mostrar-me-á uma lista dos fósforos como eu datilografo:



Unfortuantely estes endereços não é conservado no usuário - mesmo quando você está usando somente a troca como sua fonte preliminar do email. Por que é este bad? Porque um grande número usuários consideram seu auto termine um livro de endereço oficial.

Está surpreendendo o número das épocas que eu terminei um melhoramento de uma rede e começo de repente chamadas que todos os livros de endereço faltam. Isto é depois que eu exportei painstakingly todos os livros de endereço velhos e os movi sobre corretamente. Quando eu me sento para baixo com o usuário para ver o que o significa… está simplesmente o automóvel-completo que já não está trabalhando para ele.

Isto aconteceu tanto que eu necessitei encontrar uma maneira ao apoio e restaurar estes dados. Após ter funcionado a utilidade do filemon de Sysinternals I discovered that outlook stores this data in a single file

The file is placed in the users profile folder under "Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook", and always has the extension .NK2. The name of the file matches the outlook profile name.



So we can see in the above folder listing that there are...

An evolved version of the Application Verifier is available as a free download courtesy of the Redmond company. As of the first day in September, Microsoft has made available version 3.4 of Application verifier with full support for Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP. According to the description of the tool, Application Verifier is designed to integrate seamlessly with x86, x64 and IA64 platforms. The tool offers an extra layer for the runtime verification of unmanaged code, on top of the basic application testing associated with the development process. Microsoft in fact boasted that the tool is capable of identifying even the most subtle of programming errors, including problems with heaps, handles and locks.

“Application Verifier is a runtime verification tool for unmanaged code that assists in quickly finding subtle programming errors that can be extremely difficult to identify with normal application testing,” revealed the Microsoft description. (more…)

The Ajax View JavaScript Instrumentation Proxy is the end result of the work from Microsoft Research. Essentially the tool is designed to act as a HTTP proxy focused on monitoring the performance and behavior of JavaScript applications within Internet Explorer 7, although Ajax View is not limited to just Microsoft’s browser. The Redmond company only recently delivered a public version of Ajax View under an academic and non-commercial use license.

“Ajax View is an HTTP proxy that instruments JavaScript as it’s served to the client based on a set of rules defined by plug-ins. The download includes a plug-in that contains a commented sample instrumentation policy. This design has a couple important effects. [First off] you can customize Ajax View to monitor exactly the JavaScript behavior you’re looking for, whether it’s about performance, or how people navigate through your site. And using Ajax View does not require modification of either the page source or the browser,” explained John Hrvatin, Program Manager, Internet Explorer. (more…)

I was working on a friend's system last night I was having problems activating it.

First of all the Windows Activation icon was totally missing, and second it never would pop up and ask me if I wanted to activate windows. If I looked into the event log I could see errors that windows needed to be activated.

The history of the machine is somewhat cloudy. It stopped booting about a week ago, so my friend ran a Windows XP repair from the boot disk. Unfortunately he used an old Windows XP SP1 disk. This had the unfortunate effect of creating a Frankenstein version of windows with DLLs from SP1 and SP2 mixed around....so this probably had a lot to do with why the activation screen was not showing.

After doing some google searches I found a way to force the Windows Activation dialog to show. This can be done by calling this from the command line:

%systemroot%\system32\oobe\msoobe.exe /a

Unfortunately when I call this Windows came back and told me it was already activated. This was puzzling. I was getting errors running automatic updates (Saying I was not activated), but Windows Activation still thought everything was great.



I thought that if I could just get windows to run updates...I could get the system back to normal

After doing some more searching I found a way to reset Windows Activation. To un-activate windows you simply...
