I haven't found much worth posting lately but this one has been a thorn
in my side for some time. I find it equally as interesting that you need
to jump through so many hoops in Entourage when the same issue in
Outlook can be solved with one or two clicks. I hope some people find
this helpful.
How to Remove Addresses from the Entourage Address Cache
Entourage provides an address cache feature that allows you to pick
frequently used addresses from a list as you type in one of the
recipient fields. This cache contains all of the addresses from messages
that you send and receive.

When you buy a Western Digital (WD) 1 TB My Book External Hard Drive,
they usually come formatted for Windows using FAT32. Of course, if you

cryptic error that says that there was an unknown error with the
partition map.

Windows Disk Defragmentation
Strategies
| One problem you may encounter in using the Windows Defragmenter
program is “unmovable files” (the green bars) placed in an
inconvenient location (on the right side of the display, at the end of
your disk). The two most common “unmovable” files are the Windows
operating system paging file (pagefile.sys) and the hibernation file
(hiberfil.sys) that is used to store system state when the XP
operating system goes into “hibernate” mode. An easy solution is to
temporarily remove these files, then reinstall them after you’ve
resized the NTFS partition.
| AutoRuns for
Windows
| This utility, which has the most comprehensive knowledge of
auto-starting locations of any startup monitor, shows you what
programs are configured to run during system bootup or login, and
shows you the entries in the order Windows processes them. These
programs include ones in your startup folder, Run, RunOnce, and other
Registry keys. You can configure Autoruns to show other locations,
including Explorer shell extensions, toolbars, browser helper objects,
Winlogon notifications, auto-start services, and much more. Autoruns
goes way beyond the MSConfig utility bundled with Windows Me and XP.

constructed automatically from basic components.

build a cost effective Development Environment for Windows Server
