Email Scam: Taking the Military Tact

August 29, 2009 By Robert Owen

Oh You... Spammers! It's amazing the tactics that these Spammers go through to try and steal money from you.  This one is attempting to target our Patriotic feelings by claiming to be coming from an America Soldier. Hello friend, My name is Scott Whittington, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military with the 1st Armored Division in Iraq , as you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move part of funds belonging to Saddam Hussein's … [Read more...]

Use the Snipping Tool to Capture Menus

August 27, 2009 By Robert Owen

When Vista came on the scene one of the new features I thought was pretty cool was the new Snipping tool.  It's a really useful little utility and for the most part it's great.  In Windows 7, the tool is still there (no improvements that I can see).  But, one of the things about this little utility that bothered me was my inability to use it to capture context and other drop-down menus.  Every time I would open the menu I needed to capture, it would disappear as soon as I selected the Snipping … [Read more...]

Add Additional Domain to Exchange 2003 SBS

August 26, 2009 By Robert Owen

I had to add a new e-mail domain for a client to their existing 2003 Small Business server.  Without removing the existing mail domain and without going into each user here are the steps I went through to add the new mail domain. First, open the Exchange System Manager.  You can find it by clicking: start button ---> All Programs --->Microsoft Exchange ---> System Manager Once you have the System Manager Open you will need to drill down to  "Recipient Policies" under … [Read more...]

Remove Words from Firefox Custom Dictionary

August 25, 2009 By Robert Owen

Ever type a word you know to be correct yet Firefox says is misspelled?  Say something like snigglefritz...  Thinking there could be numerous spellings for snigglefritz,  I know that mine is the correct one.  What I really hate is Firefox telling me it's wrong every time I type it. One way to get around that is to add your spelling to Firefox's Custom Dictionary.  To do that right-click on the misspelled word and select "Add to Custom Dictionary" from the context menu. But, what if you … [Read more...]

Set-up an FTP Server on Windows 2003 Server

August 19, 2009 By Robert Owen

Setting up an FTP server on Windows 2003 Server is a pretty simple process.  Why would you need an FTP server?  Well, if you are hosting websites you might want to allow designers and customers access to their webfolders  (not me... no one accesses my server but me but you can.. :-) ) and an FTP server is a great way to allow them access.  OR some Commercial Copiers have a scan to FTP or SMB service so, you could install an FTP server to allow a central place to save scanned documents.  Needless … [Read more...]
