Chances are you are receiving too many. Hopefully you're receiving little spam, but certainly you have a lot of mail hitting your inbox that doesn't need your immediate attention. Maybe you even receive private stuff at work that you should rather not attend to at all until you're h
Simply put, the research options button provides one click access to particular reference books and research sites that the Microsoft Office 2007 suite provides as information resources. For example, the Research services to choose from include dictionaries, thesauruses, and various Internet research Web sites in several languages. The Research pane also includes a very useful translation serv

Clicking on "View Shared Files" will open up a webpage that allows you to view all the shared files (yours and others') and also allows you to browse the files categorized by usernames so that you know who is sharing which fi
You can set as many rules as you like, for example mails from your mom's eMail address that contain your sister's name in the message body and are CC'd to your dad should be sorted into the urgent family business folder. For each new rule click the + button behind the last r
Vista is riddled with an extremely large amount of "security" measures that may, or may not, be helpful. Running Vista as an Administrator may help, but did you know there is an even higher Administrator? Well, there is! All you need to do to unlock it is the follow
Nearly every single file on your computer contains some type of personal information - either information about the user, information on setting e.g. time, date, etc. In any case, it may be good to remove some of this information before making it available to the public, such as uploading a video or image onl
Word 2007 can translate a single word or a phrase into 15 languages. Translating a single word is simple through the right click menu or through the search box in the Research pane. The word is looked up in the dictionary and the meaning returned. Translating a phrase involves sending the selected text to WorldLingo.com, a language translation service. The results open up in a browser win
Most of us fire up Microsoft Word for our run of the mill document needs. Most of us don't peek under the hood to see and use the other ready at hand tools that are just a few clicks away. I too accuse myself of this common shortcoming. It is perhaps a dire need or a serendipitous event that lead me to exploit a feature until now igno
A contingent requirement lead me to the "˜discovery' of Research feature in Microsoft Word 2007 . Since Office 2003, this feature has been a quite presence. Perhaps, not used as frequently because for most of us a browser is more second nature. But a Research feature within the Office suite has its own value
One of the most ridiculous features of Vista are the continuous "confirmation" messages. Messages that pop up nearly every time you attempt to run any unknown application. Almost all of which are completely unnecessary, and waste time. Here is how you can disable these annoying uac notifications, quickly and eas
Something like a computer in the corner will be just fine. This not only helps you to concentrate but more importantly from a security point of view it keeps shoulder surfers away from you. Needless to say don't enter passwords when some one is standing next to you, how uninterested he or she may pret

Of course you cannot just sort mails into folders. You can have the message filters perform several other actions as seen in the menu pictured above. For example, automatically "Mark As Read", "Tag Message" or (the coolest) reply with a template. If required you can have the message filter carry out multiple actions on the same eM
Click one of the computer names that you want to access. Choose "Remote Control" from the menu that shows up. Enter your buddy's password and you'll get remote access to that computer. The whole password situation used for Remote Control bothers me a bit. While this is fine if you are in a work/home scenario, this might not be a good idea in the "buddy" scenario as the Remobo password and the Remote Control password are the same. So if you know someone's remote control password, you know their account password. Kinda l
You can also sort several different mails that you receive on a daily basis into one folder. For example set up a rule that catches all mail from MakeUseOf (Sender contains MakeUseOf.com), then set up a different rule within the same Filter for each of the other newsletters or eMail updates you would like to sort into the same fol
