If you ever want to wipe the slate clean of tiles, so to speak, try this:
Process Monitor from Windows Sysinternals, part of Microsoft’s Server and Tools division, combines the best of familiar but now extinct tools. By extinct I mean deprecated or no longer supported. The warranty* expired.
The context-sensitive [right-click] menu allows you to highlight a specific number of rows (events displayed horizontally) with only a particular column match highlighted. The example above is right-clicking on the Operation column of a particular row.
But how Process Monitor combines all is just the start. They also allow you to filter. My favorite part of the toolbar in Process Monitor is the
Then turn on the Autoscroll feature, off by default:
Allowing you to get a real-time,scrolling, network [event] trace like this:
Just remember to turn on the other three show buttons (file, registry, process). Don’t turn Profiling on, unless you want more data. Refer to the onboard [F1] Process Monitor help.

On my Dell T7400 running Windows 8 (Pro), in Internet Explorer 10 (desktop) on www.bing.com I entered the term Great Plains software as the search string, clicked on Videos on the top menu bar, and clicked the following hit in the results:
Great Plains software – Bing Videos
Tried to share the video
Clicked on the More option in the flyout toolbar in the embedded YouTube player:
When I click on More I get a message at the bottom of Internet Explorer that a popup from www.bing.com was blocked.
Restart IE, clicked on Allow once, same thing.
Options for this site button w/ drop down gives you More settings.
Added sites to Privacy settings under Per Site Privacy Actions dialog from clicking the Sites button under the Privacy tab in Internet Options.
Refreshed (F5) on the page. Same thing.
Sites are also in Trusted Sites zone with default (factory) settings.
Found an interesting IT event during my [mostly] daily check-in of my LinkedIn wall and reviewing some companies.
Stumbled on an event taking place next week called CloudToo. This was posted on the [LinkedIn] wall of Doherty Associates in the United Kingdom (U.K.).
Seems interesting. Too bad it’s in the U.K. No chance I’ll be able to attend. But does interest me regardless of my availability to commit. I’ll update this post with any videos or content disseminated from the event.
To sign up for the event go to:
“Making a brighter future for SME’s and start-ups with the cloud”
The acronym SME typically stands for subject matter expert. The opposite to a SME would be a generalist, or as some call it a jack of all trades. For example, if you’re hiring for a job that must have Apple and Macintosh (Mac) experience then you will post for an Apple genius or Mac expert or Mac genius whatever they call them now these days. Microsoft has an official branding of MVP (Microsoft Valued Professional) but that’s only really a status symbol and special partnership between you and the company. It’s kind of like the MCP program for certification. There’s some tests that you just pass that one test and you’re MCP.
You can check the Apple or Microsoft sites to see what kind of programs they have for SMEs or IT Professionals.
MSDN and TechNet are the Microsoft channels for professionals. I think the Mac genius program would cover that but it’s just assuming. Mac is about 10% of my breadth of knowledge and experience and only with hypercard on the old Macs in the late ‘80s and the Apple II/c in the mid-80s.
This Week in Enterprise Tech on TWiT.TV is a great weekly podcast covering technology trends in the enterprise with a panel of key contributors. Some remote via IPTV. Some in studio with the presenter.
The presenter also has a blog called TheTechStop.
The Podcast [metro] app, available from the Microsoft Store app in Windows 8, is what I use typically to watch these. Although if you go to the Podcasts section of the Libraries node in the navigation pane of Windows Explorer also known as File Explorer in Windows 8.
Here you’ll find the actual MPG, WMV, AVI, etc, file that you can play in Windows Media Player or whatever application you have associated to play the relevant video file.
I got a message in the notification area that there was some kind of scheduled event running.
Hovering over the Action Center icon will invoke a tooltip stating “no current issues detected”:
Software that got updated was interesting:
After the update completed the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center appears.
So far, everything is working fine.
Very common message. I’ve been seeing this for a while. Pops up at the bottom of the Internet Explorer window. In the notification bar.
The hyperlink (URL) that I had opened to trigger the above message is the following:
I’m pretty sure that http://www.howstuffworks.com or http://howstuffworks.com (without the www.) was added to the Trusted Sites zone but fairly certain that http://electronics.howstuffworks.com is not.
I tried adding the following URL to the Trusted Sites zone in Internet Explorer 10.
Tools, Internet Options, Security tab, Trusted Sites, Sites, Add buttonIn my case, the address http://electronics.howstuffworks.com is pre-populated (already there) in the Add this website to the zone box. So I just had to click the Add button and the Close button in the lower right of the Trusted Sites dialog box.
Then OK:
Internet Explorer has modified this page to help prevent cross-site scripting.
If you’re in a corporate, locked down environment, the only thing you can do at this point is modify the Internet Explorer settings. But many organizations do control or govern their systems, including Windows and its native web browsing application, Internet Explorer. The best thing I can offer to any end-user (information worker) having this message is to simply click on the x on the right of the message bar at the bottom of Internet Explorer.
internet explorer 9 messages at bottom
Yes. The bar might be displayed until you navigate to a new webpage or click the Close button. For notifications involving security or privacy, Internet Explorer automatically takes the most secure action, and allows you to take less secure actions if you’re confident they won’t put your computer or information in danger.
Click the x to ignore the message and close the notification bar. The bar should [I think] also simply close itself if you do nothing, within like 5-10 seconds.
How do I prevent Internet Explorer from modifying pages for cross-site scripting? Under the security tab for IE8 there is a new Scripting Section for XSS Filter, Disable it and the issue goes away.
I don’t ever touch this setting unless there’s some business justification or an RFP (request for proposal) outlining why it’s feasible to disable that setting. However, if you’re not at work and just in the context of a home computer, not used for business, then I’d suggest do it only if you understand what it does.

I checked on msnNow just now and was pleasantly surprised with tweets. Normally, I’m not a big fan of more Twitter anytime, all the time so to speak. For sanity sake I prefer to stay out of it and only use it when I need it. But this is nice because now I don’t need to go to Twitter for the news. I can get both search [SEO] trends. The one catch is that I need them connected for search engine optimization (SEO) and should be logged into both Bing and Twitter persistently, meaning that I check the keep me logged in checkbox when I login and connect the two in the respective governance settings. Those settings are usually on the settings menu on the top nav bar of most sites.
I just had an odd but old, familiar occurrence. The image on my blog post on my WordPress blog failed to load. There was just a solid gray box in it’s place with an X, if I recall correctly, in the upper left corner of the image placeholder in the webpage.
Since I just posted the first original version of that particular blog post I remembered one thing I did differently. I right-clicked on the image, clicked the Hyperlink… command:
Then checked Open link in new window:
Clear the check box Open link in new window for that particular image in the Edit Hyperlink dialog box and click Publish to update the version on the WordPress [blogging] server.
