Ms Outlook 2010 stuck on “loading profile”

This problem occurred when computers comes from “sleep”.

In case you are using the Microsoft Messenger, try to close it (at all) (from the main window, press Alt, and select File -> Exit messenger). The try to load the Outlook again. 

In case you using it and it is closed at the time where Outlook has this problem, load it!

This problem exists because the Outlook gets info about your contacts that uses Messenger also. Something is getting wrong in this communication.

Excel, how to get a value of a cell according is coordinates, like X,Y

You may wonder, why CELL formula in Excel didn't used to return a value of Cellaccording its coordinates? Well CELL formula is used to return some Properties of a referenced cell, see the help about the CELL formula.

What if you want to the a value of a cell according is coordinates, like X,Y or in Excel's worlds Column,Row number. INDEX is named the formula that can do this! It used for other purposes also, I demonstrate it for the thing we want to do.

syntax:
=INDEX(<array where will take place>;<row number>;<column number>)

example:
get the the x=1 and y=10,
with other words: the the value of the 10th row of the 1st row:
=INDEX(A:Z;10;1)

The A:Z means all the columns and row from the column A to column Z; you may define more specific are like:
=INDEX(B1:C30;10;1)
In this case, the 10th row of the 1st row will be applied in the are B1:C30.

ms outlook and the most commonly used switches

This group of switches are the most commonly used switches.

/cleanreminders

Clears and regenerates reminders.

/cleanviews

Restores default views. Use with care as all custom views you created are lost.

/profile profilename

Loads the specified profile. If your profile name contains a space, enclose the profile name in quotation marks.
This switch is useful when there are multiple users of a Windows logon and each has their own Outlook profile.  Create desktop shortcuts to load a specific profile – use the following command line in the shortcut, replacing my name with your profile name:
“C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Outlook.exe” /profile “Diane Poremsky”

ms outlook is notifying me for (old and deleted) appoitments that doesn't exist at all

how to navigate a Domain to look at you webhost server

problem
	how to navigate a Domain to look at you webhost server |||| nameservers for your domain
difficulty level
	9/10 :(
compatibility
	general
solution
	1. Go to at your WebHost server, login on cpanel console (or something like this). 2. Create an addon domain, there you will define the web directory of you addon domain where your domain will look. 3. Search somewhere in the cpanel, the nameserver of your webhost server, you will need it soon. 3. Go to the site of the register (znetindia.com etc) login to your member account and go to your domains page. 4. The goal is to define the name servers of your webhost server, as Nameservers of the domain you want to look at there. The process varies from register to register, some require verification via email. The propagation of the namesevers might take 24hours (indeed), so be patient and the only you have to do it to wait. Sometimes windows’s internal dns cache doesn’t work correctly and it does see for new dns of your domain… in this case… call “ipconfig /flushdns” or try… from another computer!

How to shrink a VirtualBox vdi disk image size?

Virtual disk images (.vdi files) tend to grow over time, especially with windows guest systems, and may quickly consume all your disk space on the host system.


This post shows the required steps to free up the unused space. It worked for me with Sun/Oracle VirtualBox versions of 3.1.6 and above.
For a Windows guest system

• Start a Defragmentation (right-click disk icon, select properties->Tools tab-> Defragment now…)
