Today my Outlook 2007 began an automatic archiving routine: showing a funny error message:

Didn’t know my doors should be closed for this one

Today I spent a lot of time searching for the right GetScreen tool. GetScreen is an old application that can be used to remote control a computer, much like VNC. Apparently most of the websites try to block the download, since it can be used by Trojan Horses to remotely take control of a computer. The tool itself is pretty harmless. Before executing, the executing user needs to have Administrator rights on the computer you want to control. Please read further to find the download-link attached to this message. (more…)

When using "Manage add-on", it is sometimes not possible to actually remove an ActiveX object. Only "Enable/Disable" and "Update" are possible, especially with Internet Explorer 6.0.x.
Here you can read a fail-safe method how to do so.

Zonet verscheen er op de Standaard een artikel over het afschaffen van de datalimieten bij Telenet, een paar minuten later was er geen spoor meer te bekennen van dit artikel! Zou dit de betekenis van de grote knop zijn? Laat ons hopen!

I must admit, "Hotmail" never gave me a warm feeling. In fact I only use it to have a "Windows Live ID". In the last days I got several complaints from hotmail-users not receiving necessary mails. I checked some of their email-settings and BINGO! Several domains were listed in their "Blocked senders" …

Short term solution:

1. Login to your Hotmail/Live Mail account and browse to your Inbox
2. Go to the Options (Upper Right corner) and select "More Options" in the dropdown menu.
3. Under "Junk e-mail" you’ll find the "Safe and blocked senders", navigate further to the "Blocked senders" and clear that list!
4. Regularly come back and check the blocked sender list because Microsoft fills it up automatically!

So after doing that I made sure my own domain was added in the "Safe sender" list. I also tryed to put "@gmail.com" to the safe senders … but then hotmail gave me an error message:
"That domain can’t be added to the safe senders list." !!!

I know that hotmail and gmail are competitors, but this is scandalous! No wonder people are starting to hate Microsoft.

Long term solution:

1. Use Gmail and register for free!
