Deleting Drop Down Addresses in Outlook

Do you use MS Outlook for e-mail?

Ever notice that as you type in an address to send an e-mail, a short AutoComplete list of recently used addresses is displayed?

Now, my question is, have you ever accidentally sent an e-mail to a bad address and then later, you've seen that same bad address on the AutoComplete list over and over again?

Wish you could remove it from that list altogether?

No problem. Two quick steps and you can say bye bye to that wrong address.

Step 1: Use the up or down arrow to select the bad address.

Step 2: Hit the Delete key on the keyboard.

It is as simple as that!

Switching back to the Classic Start Menu (VISTA)

One of the biggest changes in Windows Vista is the complete redesign of the Start Menu. While this change is a good thing for some people, others prefer to use the old style Start Menu. In this tutorial we will show you how to enable and configure the classic version of the Start Menu.

The procedure is very simple. Just follow these steps:

First, right click on the taskbar and select Properties.



The Taskbar and Start Menu Properties window will open. Here, go to the Start Menu tab and check the Classic Start Menu option. If you want to customize the items that appear in the Start Menu, click the Customize... button. If you don't want to customize anything, just press the OK button.



In the Customize Classic Start Menu window you have lots of configuration options: you can add or remove start menu items, you can sort them or you can enable special shortcuts like the Run or Log Off buttons.



Feel free to experiment with all the available options. When you have finished, press the OK button.



Now the Windows Vista Start Menu will look just like on the older versions of Windows.

Encrypt Removable USB Drives (Windows 7)

Encrypting an USB drive has never been easier. Now you can right click on the removable drive and then on the “Turn on Bitlocker”.
This is a very nice tool to use and works quite well. If you store any sort of sensitive data on your USB flash drive, use this tool.
If you need any assistance with upgrading to Windows 7 or doing further encryption on your system contact MCDA today!
