A buddy of mine was shocked to see that I have the date, time, and day of the week in my system tray. I had forgotten that this is not standard. Here is how to do it without any additional software.
If you are using Word to create a newsletter or similar document, columns can be quite necessary for giving it a more professional look. Word makes dividing a page into columns very simple and easy to use.
By default, Excel uses your Documents (if you use Vista) or My Documents (if you are using XP) directory as the location for saving files. To change the default file location, follow these steps:
Outlook gives you a handful of generic categories to start organizing your email. You can customize these existing categories, as well as add categories of your own by following these steps:
If you frequently email the same group of recipients, a distribution list can be a real time saver. Instead of having to add each individual contact one-at-a-time, you can simply add the distribution list to your email and you have included all of those contacts in one step.

You can take ownership of the file and then grant your username full control of the file. After you have made your changes and/or modifications, you can then remove the permissions.
Appointments (particularly those with attachments) can slowly add up over time. If you work for an organization that limits mailbox size, available space is always a critical item. Instead of having to search through your calendar month by month, you can simply pull up a list of all appointments and then choose those that you no longer need and delete them.
Transfer a caller on a Cisco CME (CallManager Express) to a voicemail box on a CUE (Cisco Unity Express) system.
This recipe is for all of you IT peeps out there that deal w/Blackberry’s and activating them via Enterprise Activation. Sometimes I receive new Blackberry’s that are missing the Internet Browser and will not activate via Enterprise Activation. This recipe will solve this!
