Import Pst Into Outlook

I needed to find an old email and  have a backup of some old outlook pst files I wanted to import into Outlook.

First I went to file then import /from another program or file/personal folder.pst, but nothing happened.

This is what worked, File, Then Open Outlook Data File, choose the location of your old pst files.

This will add a folder to the bottom of your existing mail.

You can then read them and when finished delete the folder.

Does My Media Have Drm Protection

The easiest way is to add Protected column to your windows explorer.

To do this, go to where your media resides.

In the top right in search enter say wma

This will bring up all songs with the extension wma

Now right click on one of the columns, on mine I have Name, #, Title, Contributing Artist and Album.

Right click on one say Album, a context menu will appear, click on more, then scroll down to Protected.

The songs will either say yes or no






Protect your content :  http://www.media-drm.com/Demo1.aspx

Another way is to right click on the file, then properties, then Details column, then scroll to protected.



You can also use MediaInfo : https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo



Install once finished find a media file, right click on the file and select MediaInfo.






Icons Will Not Move On Desktop

Quick fix - Left click and hold an Icon at the same time click on escape.

Sharing Files With Friend

You are probably using dropbox but are unhappy with the upload speed.

Here it is ccfile transfer.

Http://www.cc-file-transfer.com/

On the left hand side Choose My Friend, go to Account, then New account, add user name and password, click OK.

I have created Michael in this example.


On the left hand side again choose File Share, then from the top menu choose Share, then new file share, click browser, choose the file you want to share, click Auth then click OK.


Now on the top menu, click on options, then settings, choose a port number to use, I have used 5555, select Auto Run and Enable Internet Access, click OK.


Time to setup the modem.

Login to your modem.

I have created 2 entries, one in Firewall / Packet Filter and one in Virtual server / Port Forwarding.



In the Virtual server / port forwarding I have added the PC with ccfile running (192.168.103.1) and port 5555 as seen above.

To see if this is working locally open Internet explorer and in the URL, type your local ip address and the port number you used EG. http192.168.103.1:5555



To test this externally got to ccfile, at the top you will see copy url, press it, Go to Internet explorer and paste into the URL Eg : http:// yourexternal ip:5555/download.htm?file=mylarge file.iso

This is the URL you would give to the other person to download your file.

A security window will appear key in the user and password you created earlier.



Done.

Delete Vpn Users Windows 7

You created a Vpn  incoming connection in windows 7 then deleted the Vpn connection but the user still appears.

The user does not appear in control panel user accounts either.

What you need to do is create a new Vpn account again using that user then delete the user first before you delete the Vpn connection.

Right click on Network, then properties, then change adapter settings.


File, new incoming connections, click add someone, enter user name and passwords.


Next, tick through the Internet, then next, then make sure tcp/ipv4 is checked, then allow access.

Take note of the Computer Name, then close.

You will now see incoming connections in your network connections.

If you delete this connection without deleting the user you will not be able to delete that user.

If you have deleted this connection you will need to create it again then the option to delete will appear.

No Way To Delete User

Delete User
