In an earlier post, we introduced the new IE8 Smart Address Bar dropdown functionality. Now we thought we’d spend some time discussing some of its less obvious features in more detail. More about the IE8 Smart Address Bar Autocomplete Suggestion With Windows Search installed, IE8 makes an attempt to determine what site you’re trying to get to. The site that it determines is most likely the one you’re looking for is called the “Autcomplete Suggestion.†This entry is given the SHIFT+ENTER shortcut, so it’s very easy to go to your most recommended site. But how do we determine what’s most relevant? We use a variety of factors to determine what site yo…

Don't know if this helps you or not, as I am not a "techie," but I had the same problem installing itunes of all things.

I have a completely private network where we perform PXE based installation. After thousands of times of entering usernames and passwords to get to the OS choices, fingers become numb. I know that it is not best practice to remove the logon screens, but how do I do this? is it possible? I have read through the material at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc739932.aspx around designing custom RIS experiences, but it recommends not to remove the logon screen, presumably for security purposes which, again, are not a concern here. Any help is appreciated. Harold

I apoligize if this question has been asked, but I didn't see it when I searched the forum and elsewhere on the web. I have a laptop that I have been considering Whole Drive Encryption on for a while. The options that I am aware of are PGP Whole Drive Encryption, TrueCrypt, and BitLocker. I have Vista Ultimate and BitLocker is one of the big reasons I got Ultimate, but BitLocker doesn't seem to be as straight forward as some of the other options which is irratating. My laptop does not have a TPM chip. From what I have read, this means that to use BitLocker I must use a USB drive to store the key. Before I go any further down this road, I have …
