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...]

August 21, 2009 By Robert Owen

Hope your week has been great!  I found this week's Friday Funny lurking in a folder called "funny stuff" on one of my external hard drives.  It is perfect advice for any of you Northerners who are thinking of moving or just traveling down south.  You might even want to print this one out so you can have a reference while you are down here.   :-P So for you, here is some Advice for Yankees Moving South: Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later how to use it. … [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...]

Uninstall Trend Micro Officescan without a Password

August 18, 2009 By Robert Owen

Ran into a slight problem today.  I had to add a couple of older computers to a  new Domain.  Pretty easy to do normally but these workstations had a version of Trend Micro's Officescan from their previous domain that needed to be removed so that the new version could be installed. I couldn't just uninstall the client (which would be the best solution) as that requires a password and no one in the office could remember the old password.  (As a side note, when you install network versions of … [Read more...]
