Browse Internet on Windows 7 E Version

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

Microsoft introduced Windows 7 Version in reaction to statements made by the European government with respect to Internet Explorer. The EU introduced antitrust case against Microsoft to the group of IE with Windows and therefore the exploitation of dominant market position. The government claimed that "the linking of Microsoft Internet Explorer for the Windows operating system harms competition among web browsers, undermines the product innovation and ultimately reduces consumer choice."

Windows 7 version E is a response to this that shows that Microsoft must comply with the law. The E version is without any type of browser and therefore welcomes the European markets with Windows without any type of Internet browser now so they can use any browser of your choice. However, the question remains: HOW? If no browser at all how is it possible to download any web browser?

Microsoft has provided detailed information about installing Windows 7 E on its website. However, the instruction also includes an extra step for customers in Europe with regard to keeping the browser of choice in some external hard drive. Therefore, European customers that Windows 7 will save the web browser on a CD, DVD or USB or other storage media and install the browser once the Windows 7 has been completely installed.

This is a genius step taken by Microsoft, as they show they are following the laws, and to be able to get more revenue by providing additional CD web browser with the operating system.

How to delete the Junk Email Rule ?

Thursday, June 18, 2009

Note: The Junk mail rules is visible only if you use an Exchange mailbox. We're working on a solution for POP3/IMAP accounts.

Some users are reporting problems with Outlook 2003's junk email filter not working properly. It ignores names on the safe lists and moves their mail to the junk folder, it ignores addresses on the blocked list and leaves them in the Inbox. Changing the junk mail settings doesn't appear to have an effect on what gets filtered - the same amount of junk is filtered on high, low or off.

If this any of the above is happening to you, make sure you have the latest updates installed. If you are using another anti-spam addin, disable it. Running two anti-spam filters can affect Outlook's ability to properly process spam.

If you aren't using a second anti-spam application on your local computer, you can try an experimental solution: deleting the junk mail rule in Outlook. It's a hidden message in the Inbox and you need a special tool to access it. The easiest to use is Outlook Spy. Outlook will recreate the rule and if this solution fixes your problem it means the Junk Email rule was corrupted.

How to do that :-
1. Install Outlook Spy.
2. Find your pst and make a copy. It's usually found at C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook. A simple right click, copy, right click paste is enough.
3. Start Outlook.
4. Export your rules, just to be safe. (Tools, Rules and Alerts menu).
5. Select the Inbox, if it's not already selected.
6. Click on the IMAPIFolder button on the Outlook Spy toolbar.
7. Click on the Associated Contents tab.
8. Locate the Junk Email Rule. It may be near the end of the list.
9. Select it and press Delete.
10. Close then restart Outlook.

Note :- Outlook will recreate the Junk Email rule when it starts and your junk email settings should not be affected.
