Stay away from local email accounts with Carriers

Why should users stay away from emails that are hosted from their local internet carriers?
       (ex. YourName@att.com or YourName@comcast.net, etc.)
This question has been asked by many of my customer and friends and I keep on telling them over and over the same information.
An email address is like a home address. Once you give your home address to someone. You'll hope they'll always have it on hand and call or contact you at home when ever they need you.
Your email address works the same way but here where it gets a little funny. Let's say now, you have currently DSL at your home address and move next month. Now your current email at YourName@att.com will probably have to change depending on where you decide to live. So if you move to an area where DSL is not available or DSL is not suitable to use, your 2nd choice is to get your internet access from Cable. Now you loose your email address at YourName@att.com because your no longer with At&t and you now have to create a new name at YourName@comcast.net.
The same goes vise versa for cable. In every way possible you can easily loose your email address and have to create a new one from scratch. Now all of your friends, family and followers will have a difficult time keeping up with you because you keep on changing your email address more than once. And most of them will not probably update your email address because they already aware that you will change it again.
This is where Yahoo, Gmail and Outlook come in.
Now by opening an account with these web based email hosting sites you risk user's from loosing contact with you and they will always remember your email address.
This might not work with almost everyone, but if you do it correctly you will be a step ahead on having a permanent address on the world wide web.

Tossing Tax Returns

Worried about an IRS audit? Well this advice from Kiplinger may just put your fears to rest. It's been know that if the IRS does not initiate an audit, three years after the date of return.
So if you failed to file or record anything, you could get away with it, but the other reason's not to toss a tax return has to do with social security benefits, depreciation on home office, rental and business equipment, home mortgage and disability insurance. It can also maybe one day back you up from identity theft.

Win 8 Password Reset

Here's an easier way to reset the Windows 8 password via installation disk. It does the trick but you still can't guarantee that all your encrypted files will be saved.

Link

There are many ways to reset a forgotten admin password. There are free and commercial tools that all essentially do the same thing. However, as a proud DevOp or cool hacker, it is against your honor to use third-party tools. The guide below describes how to reset a password on a Windows 8 machine where you have no administrator password, in an easy way that even a typical iPad user could follow.

Before I start, I have to add a warning. Resetting a password of a Windows account always means that data that has been encrypted by Windows tools, such as the Encrypting File System (EFS) or stored Internet Explorer passwords, will be lost. You can avoid this by resetting the password of an account that hasn’t been used. For instance, you could enable the built-in administrator account to be able to secure the encrypted data first. If you used BitLocker to encrypt the system drive, you first have to unlock the encrypted Windows partition. If you didn’t use any Windows-based encryption you are save to reset your password with this guide.

THE ULTIMATE WINDOWS 8 PASSWORD RESET GUIDE

1. Insert your Windows 8 boot DVD or boot flash drive, turn on the computer, and wait until you see the message Press any key to boot from CD or DVD. Follow the instructions precisely and press any key. (Note: If you don’t see this message, you probably have to change the boot drive order in the BIOS and/or disable Secure Boot. This usually is nothing for post PC users. Ask someone with a solid computer education.)
   
2. Well done! The most difficult part is behind us. Windows 8 Setup will greet you and encourage you to configure your language settings. Press SHIFT+F10 to open a command prompt. (Note: I could shorten this part of my original post thanks of the tip given by PCFreak. See comment below.)
3. Here you are. The unlimited possibilities of the Windows command prompt are now at your fingertips. Type copy d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe d:\. (Note: If you get the error message The system cannot find the specified path, you probably have an unusual drive configuration. Replace “d:” in the command above with different drive letters until the error message disappears.)
4. Now comes the real hacking. Type copy /y d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe. This replaces the Sticky Keys app on your Windows 8 machine with the command prompt. More later about this.
   
5. Close the Language setup windows by clicking the X in the upper right corner and then confirm that you want to cancel the Windows installation. Yes, this guide can also be followed by post Windows users.
   
6. Wait until you see the Windows 8 Lock Screen.
   
7. Hit the SHIFT key five times. Yes, we are doing magic here. No wand is needed, though. We replaced the Sticky Keys app that helps people who can’t press CTRL-ALT-DEL easily. You should now see the command prompt.
   
8. Type net user. This will produce a list of user names on the Windows 8 computer. (Note: The Windows 8 Lock Screen will reappear while you hack along.)
   
9. Choose the user name for which you want to reset the password and type net useruser_name new_password, where user_name has to be replaced with your user name andnew_password, ah, I think you will figure this out yourself. (Note: If your user name or password contains blanks, you have to set it in quotes: net user “Tim Cook” “I will never forget my Windows 8 password again”).
   
10. Congrats! You just reset your Windows 8 password. Close the command prompt (I hope you remember how) and log on with the new password (I hope you didn’t forget it again).

You might want to restore the Sticky Keys app (sethc.exe). For this, you have to follow the procedure above again until step 6 and use this command in step 7: copy /y d:\sethc.exe d:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.

Win 8 F8 Key

Go to the command prompt (admin) and type the following

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

To then return the boot command back to normal you then enter this in the DOS prompt

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard

Traveling Tips Secrets

Taking a trip? Here are some great travel tips to remember the next time you fly. You never know when they can come in handy.

2- If airline looses your luggage disregard current liability policies. The airline owes you the value of your bag and you clothes. Up to in some cases to $3,300 per passenger.
3- If your baggage is missing when you get to your destination, the airline has to compensate you for necessities on the spot. Not 24 hours. If your challenged then cite the federal regulations title 14 part 254. This also includes baggage charge for your suitcase when boarding.
4- If an airline tries to book you at a later flight auction the second option. Never go for the first and see the bonus get higher.

Outlook Troubleshooting Tips

Having problems with Outlook. Here are a few tips that will fix your Outlook problems, if you use them effectively.

1- Scan PST files. This will fix Outlook ongoing errors. 
    Just run scanpst.exe and it will take some time to run and hopefully it will fix those bad PST errors.
2- Archieve PST files every year. This will clear more space especially for those large PST files. And then after you archieve you run a scan PST afterwards.
3- Rename the OST file and let Outlook create a new data file. In cases where you have an old PST file just rename it "old.PST". 
4- If all fails then it's time to rebuild Outlook profile. I caution everyone to do this because if you do something wrong it can be the beginning of more headache's to come. 
   Just goto the control panel click mail and delete the profile. 
5- Disable Outlook add-ons. This is a must if your Outlook runs slow and you have several add-on's that your always using. 
6- Disable Virus scan on Outlook. In most cases this just slows down Outlook processing mail.
7- Run Outlook in safe mode. This just reassures that the program has been debugged and running efficiently.
8- Resetnav is done when a users has changed the control panel setting and user has difficulties changing it back to it's original setting. 
   Just go to the run command and type "outlook.exe /resetnavpane
9- Migrate PST from server. It's a good idea to always store PST files on a computer's c drive. Not doing so will cause Outlook slow downs because of the large PST file.
10- Adjust Calendar permissions. Open calendar and right click shared calendar to properties and then goto the Permission's tab. 

Lots of thanks to TechRepublic for their tips.
