Hi enjoy your newletter and have learned a lot.
I have a new computer ( desktop) with sta on it. I had software on my old drive that was important. bought an adapter and plugged it into USB. I cannot enter ths drive it tells me access is denied. I have exhausted my limited knowledge. I have tried to make it a share file and to no avail. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

i used that all the time with windows applications. i especially like how outlooks will remember and fill in the remainder of an email if i only type in a couple or more letters.

Wow- I had no idea I could do that. I was using the tedious scrolling method before. Nice tip!

I use this tip all the time. And yes, I am amazed how some people just don’t think of using it.

I also used to use LookOut for Outlook (a great plugin if you still use 2003 or below versions).

Of course, now it’s Windows Search for me, but its not as great as LookOut used to be.

@Pipo, yes that is a great trick as well.

My recurring problem with Outlook is how quickly my PST size increases (because of the number of emails I receive). Here’s my list of tips that keeps me sane while using Outlook all these years:

I highly recommend xobni. It’s in beta right now, but works fine for me. Also, I use google desktop when I can, but it has a slight bug where you can’t open .msg files w/ outlook when it’s activated.

completely unrelated to Mysticgeek’s article, but it’s one of the things i also use for Outlook, specifically for keyboard ninjas:

ctrl + > – move to the next message (when you have a message open)
ctrl +
