LOL.   No preferences.   That’s too funny.      Do we really need another cleaner?     Bleachbit does a great job.   Solid and proven tool written by Andy Z. from Colorado USA.

 

Why did you change your typical Subject: line in this newsletter? You dropped the leading AskWoody Plus , which at least for us impacts email filtering and spam handling. I had to retrieve the newsletter out of spam.

I’ve never used OneDrive and most likely never will.    The are better ways to manage your files without all the headaches OneDrive causes.

Its been awhile since this RWZ-file topic was discussed.   Just wanted to share that PowerShell is the answer for these Inbox Rule questions.   Today I was just looking for a detailed listing of my Outlook Rules and the WORDs that the rules were looking for.

Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement
Connect-ExchangeOnline
Get-InboxRule -Mailbox user@contoso.com

# List All Words in a RULE!

Get-InboxRule -Mailbox  user@contoso.com| Where-Object -Property Name -eq ‘MyRuleName’ | Select-object Name, Description, Enabled, RedirectTo, MoveToFolder, ForwardTo, DeleteMessage, SubjectOrBodyContainsWords, HeaderContainsWords, BodyContainsWords -ExpandProperty SubjectOrBodyContainsWords

Use the Set-InboxRule cmdlet to modify existing Inbox rules in mailboxes

Use the New-InboxRule cmdlet to create Inbox rules in mailboxes.

 

Compass Bookmark Manager. Oldie but goodie, a small program that hasn’t been updated since 2001. It works well as a password manager AND also valuable for me as a complete bookmark note taking tool for every website I use.

Or simply enable your free Hyper-V on most editions of Windows 10 and 11, only takes a couple of minute to spin up a Windows guest O/S and play in Microsoft’s  safest sandbox.   One-liner in powershell:  <span class=”hljs-pscommand”>Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature</span><span class=”hljs-parameter”> -Online</span><span class=”hljs-parameter”> -FeatureName</span> <span class=”hljs-pscommand”>Microsoft-Hyper</span>-V<span class=”hljs-parameter”> -All</span>

Or live dangerously and go ahead and install this boxie freeware, software initially developed decades ago, which includes installing a bunch of services,  software so worthless the owner literally give the software source code away.     Come-on AW, you’re better than this.

 

 

 

Or just use a good file explorer search tool.   I stopped using Windows search years ago in favor of Agent Ransack.

Fred, satrow

Wasted perfectly good editorial space for this.    There are so many good current event topics  in the Windows world you could have written about.

Thanks for posting/writing these ‘special alerts’.     I sure wish MS did a better job of stress testing their KB updates prior to release.   I hope that not too many sysadmins got burnt this time around.     Your special alerts are well worth the cost of this subscription and more.   Thanks.

I guess my iPhone 7’s days are numbered.   It isn’t broken and still works perfectly fine.

HDCleaner looks like another CCleaner want-to-be. Trash. A couple of years ago I dropped CCleaner and tried BleachBit and have never looked back.   www.bleachbit.org

And yeah, I have a C:\Utils folder too.

Old school is cool.    LOL
