  • Must have utility - TreeSize

    This is a great utility for finding out what is taking up so much gosh darn space on your hard drives!

    The free version won’t work on network paths, but on local disks it works just fine.

  • I love Outlook 2007 Programmability!

    It only took waiting 12 years, but I can now programmatically create rules in Outlook for my staff! 

    Here is the Microsoft code I started from: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb206765.aspx

    Two clicks and each employee has the same “core company” rules as everyone else.  This provides HUGE rewards for us!  Everyone sees exactly the same folders and email organized the SAME way plus it definitely makes training easier.

    Next to update my code to set aging on our core company folders.

    Here is the same code Microsoft has provided for setting Outlook folder properties: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb176434.aspx

    I thought I would probably need to go buy Sue Mosher’s new book http://www.amazon.com/dp/1555583466), which I found at our local Borders before I could accomplish anything, but it wasn’t that difficult.  I’ll save that for my next big Outlook automation project.
