My Ode to Outlook Client
I started out using Microsoft Internet and Mail, which was then morphed into Outlook Express which then became my main mail handler back in 1996. Over the years there have been many good and some not so good changes to the product. In 2010 when the whole of the internet really started to change, Microsoft made some of the worst changes to Outlook. IMHO Microsoft really screwed Outlook up. Functionally it was still the same, but navigationally it was a total mess.( Yeah, I’m talking about the original “Ribbon”) I guess I wasn’t the only one that though so, because what we have now is an easy to navigate tool email client again! Now that I am retired, I still find Outlook invaluable. While there have been many fantastic enhancements to the email side of Outlook over the years, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom did not change the one that was and still is invaluable to me. It is so invaluable that it keeps me from using their other Outlook, or the Mail and Calendar. You see in the Calendar when you set up an appointment or meeting, you are given the option of setting a reminder. Now while you can set a reminder in the other Microsoft Mail products, those reminders are preset, and cannot be change. With Outlook if you need a reminder in 45 minutes, or if you need one in 2.5 hours, you can change that to that time or for that matter to any time that you may need. Microsoft, thank you for not changing that. If you were to bring that one feature to your other email programs, apps, whatever you want to call them, then even an ‘ole $%art like me might start using them, although I doubt it though, muscle memory you know! Really enjoy the mail Quick Steps as well
File transfer using USB with Android Tablet
I'm trying to update the OS on my Lenovo A10-70F Anroid Tablet now running Version 4.4.2. I want to use a USB connection. I've followed all the instructions on how to make the connection and have successfully connected. However, although the icon for the Tablet shows in Devices and it shows as connected on the Tablet, I cannot see a icon on File Explorer and therefore cannot see the files on the Tablet in order for me to copy the file I have on my Windows 10 laptop to the tablet inorder to drag the file to update to Android 5.0. The AutoPlay dialog box does not appear, so I have to view files manually. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks for your help Ken
Microsoft Utilities: Better than 3rd Party Utility Apps
There are LOTS of Utilities that are from Microsoft, The Systernal Utilities. Utilities for: ✔ Files & Disk(DiskMon, CacheSet...) ✔ Networking(TCPView, WhoIs...) ✔ Process(Autoruns, Process Monitor...) ✔ Security(RootkitRevealer, SysMon...) and many more. 😎 You can DOWNLOAD it(in your system or in USB) or RUN it without installation(some utilities). 😎 Visit, Read & Try some, and you may think twice about your 3rd Party Utility App/s. ✨ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/ ✨ I used some of those.... Does this make you think twice of your 3rd Party Utility/ies App??? 👌
Microsoft versus Chrome
I came across this analysis written by Lifewire concerning these two giants. The paragraphs below are just two that attracted my attention. 'Microsoft has decided to discontinue EdgeHTML and other core components of Microsoft Edge. Instead, the company plans to create a new version of Microsoft Edge based on Chromium. Microsoft is going to build Microsoft Edge on the foundations of Chrome, meaning that key elements like the rendering engine will be identical. What's likely to remain different are the connected services. For example, you may still sync your bookmarks with your Microsoft account instead of a Google account, and Bing will likely be the default search engine for Microsoft Edge. A common platform will make it easier for developers to create content and apps that are consistent across the major browsers'. Source: Lifewire - https://lifewire.com - February 2020 I fully anticipate that Edge' et al will have to evolve as users' demands for greater connectivity and dynamic use increases - perhaps exponentially. 🤔 Post script: I did not get on with Chrome - niggly things I suppose - but irritating as a user.

My Microsoft Store was in problems before this , it wouldnt install apps correctly , updating apps would take forever to update and then i was suggested by a friend to reset the microsoft store and so i went to apps and features , search microsoft store then went to advanced options and pressed reset , after the reset was done Microsoft Store would no longer open . I tried to force it to open a million times but it wont open . I tried asking cortana , no use. I tried using the run dialog , no use. i tried clicking the microsoft store tile in start menu , no use either. What should i do at this point? Oh and also Microsoft store doesnt pop up in apps and features after the reset to it.
Redirect a game from MS Store App to a different Drive ?
Hello Community, In the old days when you wanted to install a new game a small window would pop open with a suggested drive and path to where you wanted to install the new game. You could select and accept there suggestion - Or - change the default drive letter to a different drive and path. However in the most current Windows 10 May 2004 build and the most current MS Store App I don't seam to be able to do this simple task. It always goes ahead and installs then to the OS C: drive. I know its probable something I'm missing or overlooking. I'm not a gamer, so I'm kind of at a loss and would really appreciate any Help! you can offer. So my question Is : How do I install a game from MS Store App to a different internal hard drive other than the default OS C: drive?... 🤔 Thank-You In Advance For All Your Help.
HDD usages showing 100%
My system is running slow, as HDD usages is showing 100% in task manager
All of my devices crashed simultaneously. Help please???
This seems like paranoia but it is true. Had 5 devices crash at the same time August 5, 2020. Went to different town and purchased new phone. Set phone up and it new who I was and had already had update with malware waiting. As well as being controlled by third party. The sophistication was unbelievable. The possible outcomes are nightmarish. Lost all contacts, passwords simultaneously. This is my last hope. Hacked Edge AND Hacked Google
