I forgot to ask a question about this Blog

I set this up so I receive an e-mail whenever a post or a comment was left by me or anyone else. Do you guys get that option. I know you get the option of subscribing to a particular post/thread, but do you have the option to subscribe to any post or any comment globally and get e-mail?
I cannot tell because I'm an Admin and an Author but I made all of you Authors as well.
Please could someone let me know.
Also, can you guys just let me know if you think this is better than the course info dicussion board or not?
TIA

    In the "Followers" section to the right, next to my name I clicked on 'options' then 'site settings' , which brings me to a settings page. On that page I clicked on 'messaging' and it gave the following checkbox options:

    Messaging options for this site:
    Allow site members to send messages to your email address.
    Receive site newsletters and communication from Youssef's Blog

    So, I'll see if I get an email when someone posts or comments...

    I feel like this is a lot cleaner than the discussion board. It doesn't quite highlight new messages as well, but the subject matter can be chunked, tagged, and sorted easier.

Track Files in Visual Studio

By
By default, Visual Studio’s Solution Explorer will update its selected item based on the currently active document. This is extremely annoying as it keeps expanding your projects and folders until your solution explorer becomes unmanageable and unusable, unless you collapse all Projects (Only available if you have Visual Studio Power Commands) installed) and even then, after collapsing the entire solution, the saga returns back. Turn off Active tracking 1. Turn your Active tracking off by going to Tools > Options 2. Select “Projects and Solutions” node 3. Uncheck the “Tack Active Item in Solution Explorer” Add a macro to do on-demand tracking 4. Tools > Marcos > Macro Explorer 5. You will see “MyMacros” Module (Node). Right mouse click on MyMacros and invoke “New Module…” 6. Name it anything you like. I Named it Utilities 7. Right mouse click on Utilizes and invoke “new Macro…” menu. The Macros IDE window opens. 8. Paste in the following into it within the Publ...

Google Instant search

By
Google Instant Search is the worst feature ever!!!. I could not for the life of me find a PERMANENT way to turn it off. Every time I turned it off using different means, it always came back. This is the only link I found useful so far, but the suggestion is not that great. It's OK. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=2a8bc9c3770bc11b&hl=en It is so annoying and so intrusive, every time I type a character it interrupts me and then I end up because of the time lag with a different string in the search box than the one I intended to type. Are they hiring a whole new set of STUPID generation at Google. This does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that this feature is useless. Even if they believe that is has some usefulness, let me (the customer, the user) decide. Anyone knows how to turn this stupid feature off?

Reduce Windows Folder Size

By
I just realized that my Windows directory has over 34 GB of stuff. What the heck!!! When you have Office, a couple of versions of Visual Studio, and few other Microsoft programs, you basically have already gobbled up about 80 GB of hard disk space. I found this online and found it to be useful and effective. It shaves off about 8 GB of your Windows folder. Still not what I had expected but I can definitely use 8 GB for other important documents. I'm just puzzled at what is Micros soft putting in an Operating system folder? huh? 28 GB of crap? Open a command prompt (make sure you either have Admin privileges). If you do not have Admin privileges, then open the command prompt as Admin. dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded /hidesp
