How to delete an email from a specific sender after X amount of days?

2026-04-16T08:11:10Z

I'm part of a distirbution group for emergnecy on call emails that are sent out to a number of us here in the office.

Is there a way to setup a rule on the server to move these emails into deleted items after 14 days (say) so that my retention policy will then delete after 30 days (if that makes sense)?

I don't want these emails hanging around in the mailboxes of the users for too long, clogging things up.

How can I group and summarise a table based on rows and column values. in Excel?

2026-04-15T23:16:23Z

I have a table where there are a series of values and the rows and columns are grouped by the values in a supporting column and I want to use a formula to group down further.

Source table

I want to auto calculate a table like below

Summarised table

I've used colours to relate the two tables.

So far I have done the following:

I and automatically match the heading names using unique across the grouping columns
I've attempted to use sumif and i've attempted to use filter and then sum, what i find is it works find for the rows but I get stuck when trying to include the solumns.

So using Excel how can I get from the source to the summarised table?

The real table I am working with is much bigger so it needs to be a formula or similar.

Why does Windows group applications in the taskbar even though with they have different AUMIDs?

2026-04-15T10:09:47Z

Most times, but not always, two instances of "similar" binaries (same binary name but started from different file locations, e.g. c:\binpath1\bin.exe and c:\binpath2\bin.exe) are shown as a grouped icon in the taskbar of Windows.

In my case, it is Windows 11 and Firefox (portable), started via a shortcut in the start menu.

I checked the AUMID (Application User Model ID) using a PS script, and it shows different IDs for the instances. To my understanding, then the grouping shouldn't take place.

Why are they grouped anyway (and sometimes not)? My goal is to ungroup them without changing the current taskbar settings, e.g., to "always ungroup".

Note: might have something to do with the GUID (see here)

Addenda (answers to questions made in the comments):

Addendum 1: Trying Tor Browser (which uses a process named firefox.exe) the icon does not get grouped:

How Delete all occurrences and leave only first occurrence of each URL per line

2026-04-12T05:44:01Z

Search: The Urls On Each Line Having Duplicates Or Multiple Occurrences On The Same Line.
Replace: Delete all occurrences and leave only First occurrence of each URL per line and delete the ones that follow

My Solution

Regex: \b((http/https?://\S+))\b\s-\s(?=.*?\b\1\b)
Replaces With: Leave The Field Empty

this Removes The First Occurrence and keeps only the last Occurrence. What I want ?? to do is to keep the first occurrence and delete the ones that follow

Sample:

https://site2.net/item1 - https://site2.net/item2 - https://site2.net/item3 -/*
Line2: https://site1.com/pageA - https://site1.com/pageB - https://site1.com/pageC - https://site1.com/pageA - https://site1.com/pageD - https://site1.com/pageC - https://site1.com/pageB - https://site1.com/pageD -/*

Desired Result:

https://site2.net/item1 - https://site2.net/item2 - https://site2.net/item3 -/*
https://site1.com/pageA - https://site1.com/pageB - https://site1.com/pageC - https://site1.com/pageD -/*

How to map AltGR+key to a Unicode symbol?

2026-04-10T15:13:24Z

In Linux Mint, I am used to using AltGR to generate symbols, e.g. AltGR+4 produces € and AltGR+shift+2 produces ⅛.

I often want to use an italic curly L (Unicode 2113 ℓ), and would like to map that to AltGR+L. This is much easier to remember, and to type than “2113+Alt+X”. Also, it should work consistently between different applications.

I have tried the Mint Keyboard app and Input Remapper (https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper) without success.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT - Further research

This reference https://superuser.com/a/291415 from a related question mentioned xev and xmodmap. Further research led me to TheLinuxVault, which shows how to map a key to a key name. There is no mention of mapping a key to a Unicode value. I still have problems:

I can’t find how to map a key combination.

The name I want is “Script Small L”, but I get an error when I run

xmodmap -e "keycode 74 = ScriptSmallL"

bad keysym name 'ScriptSmallL' in keysym list.

I understand this refers to files in /usr/include/X11 – keysymdef.h, keysym.h and XF86keysym.h. Should I add an entry to one of these files, or is there a local file for additions, something like ~/.X11/ keysymdef.h?

Why can’t Outlook data file be accessed after migration to new computer?

2024-10-22T18:25:00Z

I am transferring all my files from a Windows 10 PC to a new Windows 11 PC and am having issues moving my Outlook PST files for POP accounts.

On Windows 10, the Outlook version is:

Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2409 Build 16.0.18025.20160) 32-bit
The Outlook Files folder is in "This PC > Documents > Outlook Files" for example, C:\Users\(my account)\Documents\Outlook Files which is not mapped to OneDrive.

On the target Windows 11 computer, I have installed "classic" Outlook having version:

Microsoft® Outlook® for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2410 Build 16.0.18129.20030) 64-bit

Steps I took so far:

Created POP account in the target Outlook and verified the connection. This created a new PST file in "OneDrive > (user name) > Documents > Outlook Files"; I don't think I want my outlook mapped to OneDrive, so...
Closed Outlook on the "old" computer and copied the corresponding PST file to the new computer in a local folder not mapped to OneDrive.
Closed Outlook (new computer), deleted the newly created PST file and launched Outlook.
When Outlook prompted for the PST file location, I directed it to the copied file.

Outlook seems to have no problem reading the file (I can see all my old folders and messages) but when I try to send a new message from the POP account or sync accounts to get new messages, the sync reports a send/receive error 'Outlook data file cannot be accessed'.

I tried using the repair process (SCANPST.EXE) which appeared to detect issues but also appeared to complete a successful repair, but the issue persists.

My objective is to transfer all the emails from my old to new computer for my POP accounts and I don't think I want to switch to IMAP. What procedure should I follow, since the steps I tried so far don't seem to be working.

Addendum: This may be turning into a new question. I have found that my PST file will work if I place it in the same folder as Outlook placed the new file (step 1 above) i.e. on OneDrive, but can't access a PST file placed in a local folder.

Why would Outlook allow me to relocate the PST file to an arbitrary location but be unable to access it there?

Windows 11 - scancode map registry trick does not work anymore

2024-01-25T13:34:35Z

I want to swap L/R Shift with CapsLock/Enter keys in Windows 11. It used to work in Win 10 with a registry trick of redefining scancode map. See:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-hardware/drivers/hid/keyboard-and-mouse-class-drivers (MS doc of how to do scan code swapping in registry)
Map Caps Lock to Control in Windows 11

In above question it is also mentioned that if upgrading from Win 10 to 11, it still works, but my fresh installation of Win 11 does not respect this entry anymore. I guess the upgrade installation process was clever enough to copy this setting from registry to somewhere else for Win 11 to work properly, but with fresh installation, there's nothing to copy.

Now, what should be done to do the same key swapping? I don't want to use Autokey or other external applications, just registry trick/changing OS files/etc. It needs to work across user session(after restart) and in login screen.

Sign out of all Windows 365 devices (public computers) remotely

2023-01-17T19:41:57Z

I signed in my personal windows 365 (office 365) account in an incognito browser on a public computer. I opened some Excel files from my web onedrive in a desktop app.

I closed the browser and the app (Excel) and left the computer.

Few days later I used that computer again and saw I was still logged in onedrive. One could see and open all my onedrive files and folders in the Open menu and Recent File list in Excel.

I had a hard time to find how to sign out. For all who don't know: Backstage-->Account--> My Onedrive Remove

But if it is not possible for me to have access to this computer again and sign out,

how can I see a list of devices where I'm logged in and how can I log out of it.

All of Microsoft Security is in vain, when one can't log out remotely.

Robocopy: how to copy all files in folder newer than a specific date (including older files)

2020-07-31T03:22:17Z

There is this option in Robocopy: /maxage: Specifies the maximum file age (to exclude files older than N days or date).

In my case, i want to copy all data put into a new folder being created everyday by my colleagues. The data usually contain files older than the date they are copied into. In other words, can Robocopy copy all data by the date of containing folder?

Hope you can help me solve this problem. Thank you!! :)

How to change the Outlook view so it doesn’t change for other computers when using the same account?

2020-07-28T19:32:57Z

This problem has existed for many years. I'm using Outlook (Office 365) on Windows 10 on many computers (laptops, main desktop PC etc.) Using the same Office 365 Business account on all computers.

In View / "Change View" I can choose a good view for Inbox, with the correct width for Subject etc. But, since all computers have different desktop resolutions, I need to have many Views saved (saving views has its own bugs, by the way).

I save and use a View called MainDesktop for one computer (high resolution screen). Laptop1 for another (low resolution screen). Now I open Outlook on the main computer, looks fine. Then I open Outlook on laptop. Now the MainDesktop View is forced on the laptop, looks awful. Then, changing to Laptop1 and now the main computer is forced to use the Laptop1 view.

As I don't expect Microsoft to fix this problem, what is a good workaround? I didn't find a way to open Outlook with a certain view with a command line parameter, for example.

The last resort would be to use AutoHotkey to change the view every time Outlook is ran, but I hope there's a better solution.

No sound on certain mp4 videos (audio codec: MPEG-4 AAC) in Windows 10 that work in Android (with earphones only) & Linux

2020-04-06T21:41:52Z

Update: in Android there is only sound on these videos when I have earphones plugged in. No sound will play on my phone's speakers.

The audio works on a set of mp4 videos when I play them in Ubuntu and in Android but not when I play them on any media players in Windows 10 on my laptop, including VLC. The properties of these videos:

Audio
Codec: MPEG-4 AAC
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 44100 Hz
Bitrate: 128 kbps

Video
Codec: H.264 (High Profile)
Framerate: 24 frames per second
Bitrate: 695 kbps

I am able to play other mp4 videos with the same codecs in Windows 10 without any problems. How can I fix the audio on these videos?

Windows 10: How to Bind 4-Finger Left/Right Swipe Gesture to Keyboard Shortcut?

2019-10-09T01:20:22Z

I'm a Windows 10 user that makes frequent use of the Remote Desktop function for work, and would like to know if there is a way to map the touchpad's 4-finger swipe gestures to a keyboard shortcut.

I need to quickly switch between my Remote Desktop app and my own desktop, and have found that the "Ctrl + Windows + Left/Right" keyboard shortcut only allows me to switch between desktops IN THE REMOTE PC, whereas the four-finger left/right swipe on my laptop allows me to switch between the desktops ON MY LAPTOP, which is exactly what I need to quickly switch between the desktop containing the Remote Desktop app and the desktop with my other programs open. However, when I working from my laptop at my workstation, I can't access my touchpad conveniently.

Given that there appears to be a difference between what exactly the "Ctrl + Windows + Left/Right" shortcut and the four-finger left/right swipe gestures do, is it possible to create a keyboard shortcut to perform the four-finger left/right swipe gestures, so that I can continue switching between my laptop's desktops while remoting?

Thanks!

Kubernetes net/http: TLS handshake timeout

2019-09-18T07:06:26Z

We have created a self managed kubernetes cluster using the kubeadm approach. It is a 3 node cluster hosted on AWS EC2 instances (1-Master and 2-Slaves).

We have created a separate NGINX server to route the requests for different applications deployed on K8S cluster.

This NGINX server is linked to AWS ALB along with an openssl self-signed certificate so that the Cluster is accessible only via HTTPS Listener PORT i.e. 443.

Also, we have linked one separate ALB with K8S Master to access K8S Dashboard / K8S Api Server.

We are using Jenkins to create jobs for automated deployment in K8S cluster. However, when we run the job intermittently we get TLS handshake timeout.

For instance:- if we run below command:

kubectl get pods --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true

We get an error:

Unable to connect to the server: net/http: TLS handshake timeout

On multiple re-runs the command runs successfully.

We are using the latest version of Kubernetes i.e. 1.15 version

We have been struggling to find a permanent solution to this.

How can I fix it?

Keyboard Shortcut - Highlight to bottom of range based on data one column over

2019-09-11T19:04:14Z

I work with similar data pulls frequently and am trying to be more efficient in how I transform them.

Typically, I will autofill a field down to the end of the range one column over by using the little black cross displayed when mousing over the active cell:

In this example, I need to fill rows 3 on down by continuing the series in column A. If I use keyboard shortcuts, I can reach the fill (and autofill) dialogue box, but I first have to scroll down to highlight to the bottom of the dates' data one column to the right. This can be very tedious in a big data set, because Shift+↓ takes me to the bottom of the sheet, not the intended range.

The black cross icon accessed through the mouse understands this logic, but I can't figure out how to reproduce it with shortcuts.

Any thoughts?
It would be super helpful!

Missing table header caused by soft page break

2018-07-05T13:50:22Z

I am working with a large table in Word 2016, and I have the first line of the table set to repeat as a header row. This is working perfectly except on one page, which contains the first portion of a very large row which takes up 1.5 pages in total. I cannot get the header to show on this page. I've tried messing with unchecking the "specify height" property and checking "allow row to break across pages" as I saw recommended to others with similar issues, but there was no change. I did double check my formatting, and there are no hard page break (also obvious because the header reappears on subsequent pages). If I shrink the text small enough, I can get the header to show up, so the cause does seem to be the soft page break, but due to my formatting needs, shrinking the row to one page is not an option. Does anyone know of a way to preserve this soft page break while keeping my header row visible?

update: Forgot to mention that I am working in a template created by others in my organization. I'm guessing this may have something to do with my problem, as I'm not able to replicate the issue in a new doc.

How to capture and process a live RTMP stream with FFmpeg?

2018-02-05T13:35:24Z

I'm trying to download a live stream (not a file) coming from a live camera feed available at the following website: http://www.dot.ca.gov/video/.

I used Wireshark for sniffing the TCP packets and was able to extract the RTMP parameters, but wasn't able to use them with FFMPEG/VLC for downloading / playing the stream on VLC (I guess I didn't construct the URL correctly).

For example, for the camera feed available here, I got the following parameters:

swfUrl: http://www.dot.ca.gov/research/its/StrobeMediaPlayback.swf
pageUrl: http://www.dot.ca.gov/d4/d4cameras/ct-cam-pop-N17_at_Saratoga_Rd.html
tcUrl: rtmp://wzmedia.dot.ca.gov:1935/D4
Play: E37_at_Lakeville_Rd.stream.

Is there a chance someone is familiar with this and can help with understanding how I can use the above for downloading the stream?

Why is Visual Studio Code is consuming all of my RAM?

2017-11-29T05:13:03Z

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with a Core i5 7th Generation along with 4GB DDR4 2400MHz. The OS is Windows 10 Home Single x64 (Build 15063). Most of the tasks being performed on that laptop are coding with Visual Studio Code, running MySQL server and some Java programming. It was working perfectly until the day before yesterday.

Starting from yesterday, the Visual Studio Code program has started consuming all my RAM and freezes my laptop. Both HDD and RAM status in Task Manager went up to 100%. I always have to hard reset the laptop.

The PC was operating normally until I opened the Visual Studio Code. I found out the Visual Studio is the cause of the problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program but that didn't work for me. Also updating to the latest version didn't work. I was just doing coding just like every day and didn't install any plugins.

Edit: I apparently have fixed the problem. But I don't know how the solution and this problem relates with.

After upgrading to Fall Creators Update (1709), I could see all the details and sub tasks the VS Code is performing in the task manager. I found out more than 2000 Git for Windows processes were running under Visual Studio Code and consuming all my RAM. Those Git for Windows processes were increasing infinitely. Each process uses 2MB RAM.

So, I uninstalled the Git (2.6.0) and reinstall with the latest version (2.15.2). That fixed my problem but I am not really satisfied with that.

It would be very nice and appreciated if someone explain to me how the Git gives trouble to the Visual Studio Code.

Screen flicker after booting Windows

2017-05-18T07:37:52Z

Problem

The problem I'm experiencing is that when I boot Windows, when I reach the login screen, my display starts flickering/flashing. (Basically it turns entirely grey or black about once or twice per second.) It also seems to freeze my PC temporarily; while the screen is grey I cannot move the mouse cursor or otherwise interact with Windows. I'm forced to restart my PC and try again. Usually I get lucky after 3-4 restart attempts. When Windows boots into the Advanced Startup Options menu and I select "Continue" (which is Microsoft speak for "reboot"), it almost always boots without the flickering and I'm able to use my PC.

To clarify: The flickering only happens immediately after booting, at the login screen. If it doesn't occur then, it won't occur later either and I'm safe until I reboot. I can even log out and back in without any risk.

I think the problem is related to my graphics driver (AMD), because it (almost) never occurs if I uninstall all AMD software. However, the problem still exists if I install an older version of the graphics driver (one that used to work before this issue appeared), so I'm not 100% sure.

Summary and additional details

Flickering either occurs at the login screen or doesn't occur at all
Sometimes the flickering starts automatically, other times it begins when I interact with the login screen (by clicking or pressing enter)
Flickering almost never occurs when booting from Advanced Startup Options menu
~~Flickering hasn't occured in Safe Mode so far~~ Flickering can occur even in Safe Mode.
Not sure if relevant, but often after a successful boot, some of the icons in my task bar notification area do not render
Flickering is limited to Windows; nonexistant on linux (just in case anyone thought it was a hardware problem)
In order to test if the flickering exists, I have often rebooted my PC without doing anything - boot, login, reboot, login, reboot. This usually let me boot without any problems, which made it difficult to test if a "fix" worked or not. I'm starting to think that the flickering only occurs if I've actually used the PC before rebooting - maybe I have to start a certain program for it to occur?

Attempted solutions

Disabled "AMD External Events Utility" service
Disabled "Windows Error Reporting Service" and "Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel Support" services
Disabled all non-windows services
Reinstalled graphics driver
Installed older graphics driver
Disabled graphics card (through device manager -> right click -> disable device)
Reinstalled Windows (multiple times, but the issue existed every single time)
Turned on automatic login to bypass the login screen. PC then boots into a black screen instead.

Question

What can I do to fix or further diagnose this problem?

Printing to A3 printer from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC on Windows 7

2016-12-15T15:14:45Z

I normally print documents to an A4 printer, so I have an A4 printer set as my default printer.

However, I also often need to print larger PDFs from Adobe Acrobat Reader DC.

When I open Acrobat and select the A3 Printer's Printer Driver from the 'Print' dialog for the first time, the 'Page Setup...' dialog always resets itself to 'A4'. Although it's a quick thing to select it and change it back to A3, it's still tedious - especially, as I (almost) never need to print anything other than A3 using that printer driver.

I'm fairly certain that the problem lies with Acrobat's inability to adopt the selected Printer's Page Setup settings as its own. To be clear, the printer driver is configured to A3.

Is there a fix for this?

In the Devices and Printers, the Driver is configured as follows:

What happens when I remove a device from my Microsoft account? Will the device not be password protected anymore?

2016-10-20T23:29:13Z

I have a Windows 10 tablet that I want to send out for repair but technical support asks me for the account password. This password is my Microsoft account with a lot of services and I will not disclose it.

Is there a way to disconnect or reset the account to a local one remotely?

Because I cannot access the tablet anymore, the thing I want to be repaired is the power button.

I was checking and I can remove the device from my Microsoft Account remotely.

What would happen if I do so? The tablet wouldn't be password protected anymore? Or the last local account would be activated? Or something else?

Disable auto-hide of scrollbar in Word 2016

2016-08-22T18:46:02Z

Word 2016 hides the vertical scrollbar after a few seconds of inactivity. As soon as I move the mouse cursor it appears again but it disappears again after a moment. When it's hidden I can't see how long the document is and which position I'm looking at. Must be one of those modern stupid "desktop is not a touch-only tablet" design mistakes creeping in from entirely different platforms.

I know there is an option to permanently hide the vertical or horizontal scollbar but this is not the case here. The vertical scrollbar is visible but not permanently.

This issue did not exist in Word 2010. I don't know Word 2013 so I can't say anything about that but it seems to be a similar issue from what I've found.

PS: I'm also looking for a permanent solution, not one that only lasts until the Word application is closed.

Update: Please go vote for this bugfix here on uservoice, as noted in the comments.

How do I configure sssd to authenticate against LDAP using client certificates / SASL EXTERNAL

2016-03-17T16:26:46Z

I have a need to configure various Ubuntu Trusty machines using sssd against a 389ds server that expects to be bound to using a binddn selected automatically via a client certificate mapping.

I have successfully set up 389ds with a certmap as follows:

# By default, we trust any valid certificate that has an ou attribute that
# matches an entry (currently ou=Servers) in the DIT
certmap default     default
default:DNComps
default:FilterComps ou
default:verifycert  off

In addition, I have disabled anonymous binds and forced SASL external binds as follows:

# disable anonymous binds
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access
nsslapd-allow-anonymous-access: off

# force sasl external binds to use cert
dn: cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-force-sasl-external
nsslapd-force-sasl-external: on

On the sssd side, I have /etc/sssd/sssd.conf that looks as follows:

[sssd]
config_file_version = 2
domains = LDAP
services = nss, pam

[nss]
filter_groups = root
filter_users = root
reconnection_retries = 3
entry_cache_timeout = 300
entry_cache_nowait_percentage = 75

[pam]
reconnection_retries = 3
offline_credentials_expiration = 2
offline_failed_login_attempts = 3
offline_failed_login_delay = 5

# A native LDAP domain
[domain/LDAP]
enumerate = true
cache_credentials = TRUE
debug_level = 9

id_provider = ldap
auth_provider = ldap
chpass_provider = ldap

ldap_uri = ldaps://ldap.example.com:636
ldap_user_search_base = dc=example,dc=com
tls_reqcert = demand
ldap_tls_cacert = /etc/ssl/certs/root-ca.crt
ldap_tls_cert = /etc/ssl/certs/my.crt
ldap_tls_key = /etc/ssl/private/my.key
ldap_sasl_mech = EXTERNAL

When I start up sssd, sssd attempts to bind to 389ds, first by attempting to bind anonymously (which then fails), and then by using the SASL EXTERNAL mechanism (which also fails):

Using ssldump, it appears that the client side sent a client certificate, however the ssldump -A option is buggy and it refuses to tell me anything about this cert:

1 3  0.0283 (0.0218)  C>SV3.3(7)  Handshake
      Certificate

The questions I have is:

Why is sssd's attempt to bind anonymously failing? In theory the "nsslapd-force-sasl-external: on" should cause all bind attempts to be ignored in favour of the client certificate.
Why is ssd's attempt to bind using SASL/EXTERNAL failing?
Is there any kind of guide or howto that describes sssd+ldap along with client certificates?

For the avoidance of doubt, in this scenario simple binds are not an option.

Update:

When I try use openssl s_client to connect to the 389ds server using the correct client certificate, the following correctly appears in the 389ds log indicating that the client certificate triggered a successful bind:

[17/Mar/2016:16:35:02 +0000] conn=130 SSL 128-bit AES-GCM; client CN=stuff,OU=Servers,O=Example,DC=example,DC=com; issuer CN=morestuff,OU=Example Signing CA,O=Example,DC=example,DC=com
[17/Mar/2016:16:35:02 +0000] conn=130 SSL client bound as ou=Servers,dc=example,dc=com

It appears in this case that sssd is not attempting to bind with the certificate and key provided. Anyone know why?

Windows Media Feature Pack not working correctly

2015-11-27T15:06:52Z

I'm running Windows 10 Pro N on my desktop PC and I've installed the media feature pack ( http://www.microsoft.com/en-GB/download/details.aspx?id=48231 ) because it is apparently needed to connect to android devices via usb.

But when I open the Control Panel and browse to Programs->Enable/Disable Windows Features, media player features are missing entirely from the list.

Furthermore, when I open (the new) Settings->Updates and browse to see the installed updates the Feature Pack for Windows (KB3010081) is shown. However, when I click on deinstall updates I see a new update list (in the old Control Panel) und the Feature Pack is again missing...

Do you know any way to install the Media Feature Pack properly?

Edit: To make it a little easier I've added an image related that shows the discrepancy between Settings and the Control Panel. Keep in mind that it is german though (I've installed the german version of the feature pack, but in order to make it simpler for english speaking users I've postet the link to the english version above)

http.host filter for tshark capturing

2014-10-07T16:00:03Z

I would like to capture traffic to a specific domain name. I tried the following wireshark filter

http.host == 'example.com'

It works, but after a few hours the temp data gets very large, so I tried to use tshark & capture filters to only capture and save the traffic that is going to example.com

tshark -i eth0 -f "Host example.com" -w "/tmp/d.pcap"

However, this is capturing everything.

Is there anyway I can capture only the traffic going to a specific domain name?

can not to connect to my printer on the same access point

2014-01-15T17:21:48Z

I have a router and an access point setup. my access point ( engenius ecb 300) which is located at the second floor is utp-wired to my router which is located at the first floor.

My printer is in the room next to the access point at the second floor, connected via wifi to the access point.

now my laptop is also in a room next to the access point at the second floor, also connected via wifi to the access point

Now somehow I can't connect from my laptop to my printer. I can ping every other device which is utp-wired to my router (raspberry pi's, pc's) but not to the printer on the same access point.

From any other computer (which are all utp-wired to the router) I can access the printer.

So the only laptop which is giving me trouble is the one which is (wifi) connected to the same access point.

Is this somehow by design?

How to add an text entry to automatically complete a form in Google Chrome?

2013-03-17T15:55:11Z

In Google Chrome, when I type something to an textbox, such as my email address or an username for a website, Chrome remembers it. The next time I log in to that website, I just type some first letter and a drop-down menu appears let me choose the data i want to type. But sometimes It doesn't work. How can I add a text I want for Chrome auto complete it. Funny, I know to remove an entry, just choose it and press "del"; but don't know how to add. Thanks for your help.

McAfee blocking PDFs

2012-07-31T16:01:57Z

I'm running Windows XP SP3, with Adobe Reader 10.1.3. I also have McAfee.

I have always been able to open PDFs in Adobe Reader with no trouble. Now, all of a sudden, I can't.

If I turn off McAfee real time scanning and firewall, then the PDFs open just fine. As soon as McAfee is enabled, they won't open. It does this for all PDFs.

How do I fix it?

How can I reset my own roaming profile on Windows 7 Professional?

2012-05-07T18:45:16Z

My University uses Windows 7 professional roaming profiles with a domain. I'm not entirely sure how it works, so forgive me if this is a stupid question.

Is there a way I can reset my profile to its vanilla "out of the box" state for a new account? I've tried deleting pretty much every file I have write permissions on, but things in AppData like my Firefox profile, start-menu ordering etc all seem to get restored when I log back in.

Is this possible, or should I just ask the administrator? All the resources I've found have been for administrators to reset users profiles, not for users to reset their own.
