HOWTO: Transfer outlook cache "to" field to new computer?

How to transfer outlook cache to a new computer?

I always forget this information so I blog it here and share to the world.

You just need to copy one file e.g. outlook.nk2 to your new computer and you will have your outlook cache file again.

Where to find the outlook.nk2 file?
The default location should be in your profile Outlook folder, here's the example path.
c:\Documents and Settings\loginname\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook

where; the loginname is your user information when you login to your workstation.

How to transfer outlook.nk2 file to your new workstation?
You can use the following information on how to transfer file(s).

• The easiest approach, use USB drive to copy and tranfer file from one computer to another.
• Send the outlook.nk2 file as attachment using your email. Read this email to your new workstation and save the file to the outlook folder.
• Shared folder to copy file
• Call your local computer geek to help you.
• Send me e-mail. I normally reply within 2-8 hours.

And to delete the e-mail address in your outlook cache, follow this procedure:

1. Start by creating a "new mail message"
2. Type the e-mail address, use the Down arrow key to select, then use Delete key to remove the e-mail address.
3. Repeat the process to remove other e-mail address that you want out of your cache.

That's for now, post your comments.

Cheers.

Gadget Tip: Block the bad sites and whitelist the good.

A normal user doesn’t know how to protect their workstation while surfing the Internet. This article will help you to close some of the security hole that you don’t know about.

Objective: To provide a basic security while surfing the Internet.

A normal user doesn’t know how to protect their workstation while surfing the Internet. This article will help you to close some of the security hole that you don’t know about.

What to expect when you buy your new workstation or laptop?
They only sell you the computer (e.g. desktop or laptop) with operating systems, a 30-60 days demo software’s of Anti-Virus and Microsoft Office package. Meaning after the demo period, you need to purchase a license for your computer.

What is needed?
You need to have updated Anti-Virus software e.g. Symantec, McAfee, etc. to protect your computer against new viruses.
You need to purchase a Microsoft Office with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. The MS Access database is optional

What basic security you need for your computer?
Check your anti-virus software for latest update, daily update is recommended.
Run Windows Update once a month for security update.
Enable the Firewall security, search our website for a separate document for how to.
Use OpenDNS for Internet content filtering, phishing, adult site blocking, etc.

In this article, I am going to share some information on how to protect your computer while surfing the Internet.

• First visit, http://www.opendns.com/ website and create your own account.
• Click on Dashboard to configure your setup.
• Click on Setting to update your Content Filtering
• In Content Filtering, you can choose your CUSTOM filtering level. For starter here’s how to filter and recommended configuration. Put check to the following categories:

1. Adult Themes
2. Auction
3. Adware
4. Gambling
5. Hate/Discrimination
6. Lingerie/Bikini
7. Music
8. Nudity
9. P2P/File Sharing
10. Parked Domains
11. Phishing
12. Pornography
13. Proxy
14. Radio
15. Sexuality
    You can add more filter if you want.

• From here you should be ok.

Or continue updating your blocklist or whitelist

• In Manage individual domains
• Select “Always block” type the domain for example, websearch.com
• Click on ADD DOMAIN to block the domain.
• Select “Always block” type another domain to block here and click on add domain.

How to apply the content filtering policy to your workstation? Instead of updating your router DNS forwarders, I recommend that you make the changes to your test computer.

If you are using Windows XP, please follow these steps to update your DNS information.

• Click Start, then Control Panel
• Click Network Connections
• Double click on “Local Area Connection”Click on Properties
• Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then click on Properties
• In General tab, select “Use the following DNS server addresses:

Preferred DNS Server: 208.67.220.220
Alternate DNS Server: 208.67.222.222

• Click OK to complete.

Testing:

Open Internet Browser and type http://www.victoriasecret.com/ in the URL address. You should get a notice that “Site blocked. http://www.victoriasecret.com/ is not allowed in this network. This site was categorized as Lingerie/Bikini.

Of course, you can update your Content Filtering anytime you want. Just login using your account and make the necessary adjustment.

If you have question, please post your comments here, send me e-mail or visit the official how to http://www.opendns.com/ website.

Thank you.

A new instant messaging Goober in beta.

I'm reading this article from Techcrunch and would like to share with you.

---

Goober is an instant messenger developed by a team of Germans now officially based in Delaware that’s going up against the big guys (Skype, MSN, ICQ, etc.) with a desktop client that overflows with features - some useful, some more superfluous.

The cross-protocol Goober client (available for Windows and soon Mac and Linux as well) can be used to instant message with both peers on the Goober network and those using ICQ, MSN, or Jabber. Its built-in VoIP capabilities can also be used to place calls, although video chat is still under development. We’re told that the company is intent on keeping its client software up-to-date on all platforms, including Java for the mobile, so that users enjoy the same experience regardless of device.

2. Once you’re in a reboot cycle, let go of power. Hold home down for two minutes.
3. Your iPhone/Touch may freeze with a blank screen. Do not panic or call your lawyer. Connect it to your Mac or PC and see if iTunes detects it in restore mode. Restore to the previous good firmware.
4. If this fails, disconnect from iTunes and repeat these steps. Do not lose patience. Sometimes it doesn’t work the first time. Sometimes it take a few turns to get it.
