How can you Create Backup in Outlook 2010?

Windows 7 is the commonly used operating system nowadays. This OS offers you its backup software providing you various options for backing up your important files both automatically and manually. But these backup options do not include Outlook 2010 due to its way of storing the data. Is the idea not
clear to you?

Well, in Outlook 2010 data is stored in the Personal Folder where files have the .pst extension. This is normally overlooked by the backup software.

Fortunately, Microsoft provides you the Outlook 2010 Export function which facilitates creating your backups of all important data and mails. You also get the privilege of storing these important files on a different drive other than the one where you have stored your Outlook files.

How to use this Export function?

• Opening the Outlook, click File > Open in Backstage > Import > a listing of actions will be displayed.
• Click Export to a file > Next
• Click Outlook Data File from the listing of file types > Next
• Click Outlook 2010 > Next
• Select a location where you can save the backup of the files. You are suggested to keep these files in some external drives or USB drive or DVD and CD.
• Set Replace Duplicates With Items Exported as default > click on Finish.
• You can locate the files in the Outlook by clicking File > Open > Open Outlook Data File.

For any difficulty with the process, call up the professional technicians available online.

Easy Steps to Improve Your PC’s Performance

Unless your computer is fresh out of the box, it’s probably not running as fast as it used to. Our PCs fill up with all sorts of good stuff — documents, music, videos, programs, games, downloads — and bad stuff like viruses and spyware, too. Over time they can get bogged down.

Much like oil changes for your car, a little periodic maintenance can help extend your computer’s lifespan. And in a tight economy, it’s smart to take a few simple steps to help keep your PC running like new, instead of buying a new one.

We’ve collected a series of tips and tricks to help your computer run more smoothly and broaden its useful life. They are easy enough that anyone, even a novice, can run them — but they can all help bring that “new car smell” back to your computer.

Computers with Windows XP and newer operating systems come with several simple utilities to check, clean and de-clutter your hard drive. Doing so will free it up to access your programs and files more quickly.  Disk Check identifies and removes hard disk errors caused by crashes or power failures. It’s a good idea to run it every few months to make sure the drive itself is functioning properly.

• Click on

My Computer

• Right click on

C drive

• Choose “

Properties

”

 

• Select the

Tools

Tab

 

• Click the “

Check Now

” button under “Error Checking”

 

• Check

all

the boxes

 

• Click

Start

Disk Cleanup removes temporary files and unnecessary detritus from your hard drive, freeing up space. For example, when browsing the Internet your computer collects thousands of temporary files to help Web sites load more quickly. But over time these files create clutter, so it’s a good idea to clean them out. We recommend running this around once a month.

• Click on

My Computer

• Right click on your

C drive

• Choose “

Properties”

• Select

Disk Cleanup

The Disk Defragmenter improves hard drive performance and speed by piecing together parts of files that have been broken apart. As you use your computer, files are constantly added, changed and removed. Over time, these files and folders are broken into chunks of data, so when you want to access the file your hard disk has to work harder and look in more places to find all of its contents. This is known as fragmentation. The more full your hard drive becomes, the more likely it is your files will be fragmented. The Defragmenter pieces those chunks of data back together, so your hard drive can load them more quickly.

We recommend using this utility at least once a month — and it’s best to run when you’re finished using the computer for the day, as it can often take over an hour to complete.

• Click on

My Computer

• Right click on your

C drive

• Select

Properties

• Choose the

Tools

tab

 

• Click “

” button under “Defragmentation”

 

Windows XP and higher can automatically check to see if it needs to be updated. Microsoft often supplies patches, updates and security fixes for Windows (as well as Office and other Microsoft programs) that should always be installed to keep your PC up-to-date. The beauty of Automatic Updates is that it checks with Microsoft on its own and lets you know when you need to do something. So just make sure that Automatic Updates are on:

• Click

Start

, and then click

Control Panel

• Click

Automatic Updates

• Choose

Automatic (recommended)Though it sounds counterintuitive, dropping an unwanted file in the Recycle Bin doesn’t actually remove it from your hard drive. To prevent accidental deletion, a file can remain in the Recycle Bin and continue to take up space. Periodically emptying the Recycle Bin helps free space for the files you want to keep.

By the way, if running all these individual fixes doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, there is software available that can optimize your computer in a few simple steps — cleaning our your hard drive, speeding startup and shutdown, and repairing errors. AOL offers two that are worth checking out: PerfectSpeed and System Mechanic.

Finally, perhaps the most common causes of computer sluggishness are viruses and spyware. You may already have computer security software installed on your computer, but with so many new threats created every day, it must have updated definition files to be of any use.

If you don’t already have security software on your PC, make sure you install it and keep it updated. Paid AOL members can download security software from McAfee for free, as part of their membership, at safety.aol.com. If you’re not a paid AOL member, you can still find special deals on McAfee software at this site.

Erase Empty Space on Hard Drive

In this simple solution, I cover one method to Erase Empty Space on a Hard Drive. By default when you send items to the Recycle Bin, Delete Email, Clear Browsing History, Etc, the information that occupied that space on your Hard Drive can still be recovered until that space is overwritten several times with new data.

You can easily prevent deleted data from being recovered by using a tool such as Eraser to Wipe the Empty Space on your Hard Drive and make the deleted data unrecoverable. Eraser does this by overwriting this empty space several times using various techniques.

Eraser Official Home Page: http://eraser.heidi.ie

How to Wipe Empty Space on a Hard Drive:

Note: In Windows Vista/7 you must right click eraser.exe and select to “Run as Administrator”

1. Download Portable Eraser (unzip, then run eraser.exe)
2. Click File > New Task
3. Select to “Erase Unused Space on drive“, Make sure the correct drive is selected, and Click OK to proceed.
4. Now simply Right Click the Task from the Window, and Select Run

Once Eraser has finished, the empty space on your select Drive should be irrecoverable.

How to Configure the Transparency of Window Borders in Windows 7

Microsoft may brag about how great the transparency effects of Windows 7 Aero are but I do not personally see that it adds much to my computing experience. In fact, the transparent borders on windows of Aero themes are a problem when I want to make screenshots for articles.

However, the transparency effects can be configured to suit individual preferences and here is the procedure:

1. Right-click on an empty spot on the desktop.
2. Select “Personalize” from the context menu.
3. At the bottom of the Personalize dialog window, click “Windows Color”.
4. A new window will open as illustrated in the graphic below. The section of interest is outlined in red.
5. To disable transparency effects, remove any check by “Enable transparency”.
6. The transparency effect can be also be kept but with the amount of transparency controlled with the slide bar marked “Color intensity”. Place the mouse pointer on the slide, hold down the left click and move the slide as desired.
7. Any changes you apply can be seen immediately.
8. Once you have configured the settings to your liking, click the button “Save changes”.

And there you are—make them solid or transparent, whichever way you like your windows borders.

Change, Add and Remove Values for File Properties – Windows 7 | Digital Life – http://www.cubesquare.co.cc

When you select a file in Windows 7, properties (or details) about the selected file, such as the author of the file, the size of the file, any tags associated with the file, and the date of the file are displayed. The properties available for a file differ depending on the type of file. For example, the Rating property is available for image files and music files, but not for text files. File properties are displayed in a Details pane at the bottom of the Windows Explorer window.

File properties make it easier to find and organize files. You can search for a file by one of its properties. For example, you can find all image files from a specific author. Libraries allow you to arrange files by properties. If you are browsing the Documents library, you may want to see which files you have most recently changed. To do this, sort the files by the Date modified property by selecting Date modified from the Arrange by drop-down list.

The files are then grouped according to the date they were last modified.

If you don’t see the Details pane at the bottom of the Explorer window, click the Organize button and select Layout | Details pane from the drop-down menu.

NOTE: Any pane on that menu that has an icon to the left of the option name is not displayed on the Explorer window. A pane is visible when there is a check mark to the left of the option name instead of an icon.

The size of the window determines how many of a file’s properties are displayed. You will notice that when you make the Explorer window smaller, less properties are visible in the Details pane. You can adjust the size of the Details pane by moving your mouse over the top border of the pane until you see a double-sided arrow. Click and drag the border of the Details pane to make it bigger or smaller.

More properties display as you enlarge the Details pane.

You can also change the size of the Details pane using a popup menu. Right-click in any empty space on the Details pane (not on the image thumbnail) and select Size from the popup menu. The options Small, Medium, and Large are available on a submenu. The Small option resizes the Details pane to the default size.

NOTE: Selecting Remove properties displays the Remove Properties dialog box, which we discuss later in this post. This dialog box allows you to easily remove values for selected or all properties.

To change the values of a property, move your mouse over the values for the property and click in the edit box that displays. To add a value for the property, simply type the value. To remove a value, click on the value to select it. Press the Backspace key or the Delete key to remove the value. To remove all values for a property, select each value and delete it. To change a value, remove the value you want to change first, then add the new value to replace it.

Once you have changed, added, or removed all the desired values for the properties you want to modify, click Save to save your changes.

You can also change, add, and remove values for properties by right-clicking on the file for which you want to modify properties and selecting Properties from the popup menu.

The Properties dialog box displays. Click the Details tab. To change, add, or remove values for a property, move the cursor over the Value column for the Property you want to modify and click in the edit box.

NOTE: Some properties don’t have an edit box in which you can enter your changes. For example, to change the Rating property, simply click a star to indicate the rating level you want.

Change, add, and remove values for properties as desired and click OK when you have finished making changes.

The Details pane reflects the changes you made to properties on the Properties dialog box for the selected file.

You can also remove values from properties by clicking the Remove Properties and Personal Information link on the Properties dialog box (open the Properties dialog box as mentioned earlier in this post).

The Remove Properties dialog box displays. You can choose to remove all properties from a file or just selected properties. To create a copy of the selected file with all of the properties removed, select the Create a copy with all possible properties removed radio button. This is a safe way to remove all the values from all the properties for a file. The original file is preserved with the values of the properties intact.

To remove only selected properties, select the Remove the following properties from this file radio button. Select the check boxes next to the properties for which you want to clear the values.

Click OK once you have made your choices.

NOTE: The properties themselves are not actually removed. When you remove a property, the values for that property are cleared. The property is still available for the file, in case you want to add any values to it again in the future.

The values for the properties you chose to remove are cleared on the Properties dialog box. Click OK to close the dialog box.

There are some types of files for which you cannot change the file properties. For example, you cannot change the properties of .txt or .rtf files. Some file properties cannot be modified, such as the length of a music file, as is also the case for Windows 7 system files or program files. You must be the owner of a file to be able to modify the file properties of that file. See our post, Easily Take Ownership of Files and Folders in Windows 7, for an easy way to take ownership of files and folders.
