How can I recover Microsoft Office Outlook messages that have been removed by a hard delete?

June 24th, 2004 . by Ali

You can perform a hard delete of a message by highlighting the message and pressing Shift+Del. Performing a hard delete removes the message without moving it to the Deleted Items folder. When you attempt to recover hard-deleted items, you’ll see that the hard-deleted messages aren’t listed in the recovery dialog box. If you select the folder from which you performed the hard delete (e.g., Inbox), you’ll see that the option to recover deleted items is grayed out on the Tools menu.

You can recover items that have been deleted from an Outlook folder–including hard-deleted items–either by performing the following steps or by adding the dumpster.reg entry to the registry. (You can download the dumpster.reg entry at dumpster.reg.)

Does Windows XP contain any Easter eggs

June 21st, 2004 . by Ali

Because they had to supply certain government agencies with software, Microsoft can’t include undocumented features, including Easter eggs, in its software. As a result, ou will not find any Easter eggs exist in XP, atleast as of right now :).

Set Up a Direct Cable Connection Between Two Computers in Windows XP

June 21st, 2004 . by Ali

A direct cable connection is a link between the input/output (I/O) ports of two computers by using a single cable rather than a modem or other interfacing device. In most cases, you make a direct cable connection with a null modem cable. You can use a direct cable connection to transfer information between the computers to exchange files, access resources, and so on.

How do I grant a user local administrative privileges on their NT Workstation, without traveling ?

June 20th, 2004 . by Ali

To grant a user local administrative privileges on their workstation, you would add them to the local Administrators group on their workstation. They will still be ordinary users in the domain, but will simultaneously be an Administrator on their Windows NT Workstation.

You can do this without visiting their workstation, if the Schedule service is running on the workstation, either under the System Account (the default) or under an Administrators or Domain Admins Account. On your workstation (or server), open a CMD prompt and type:
