Disable Grammar, Spell Check, Thesaurus (Proofing) in Office 2010

Posted Tuesday, 6 December, 2011 by Mike Morawski in Applications, Microsoft, Scripting and Automation, Windows 7, Windows XP

Recently I’ve seen more Office 2010 at the work place and I noticed that the same technique for disabling the proofing tools I used in my last article for 2007 did not cut it. Microsoft put an even more impervious anti-corruption techniques in place, putting an end to my breakage of the proofing files hoping [...]

Posted Tuesday, 8 November, 2011 by Mike Morawski in Applications, Windows 7, Windows XP

Looks like there is somewhat of a rough road for those upgrading from GroupWise 7. One error I saw with no absolute resolution posted online gave me a bit of fun. Error being the following: procedure entry point ??OCLdapConnect@@QAE@PADHOH@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library GWLD0132.dll Don’t try a reinstall by itself. [...]

Posted Friday, 4 November, 2011 by Mike Morawski in Applications, Microsoft, Scripting and Automation, Windows 7, Windows XP

This is a quick utility I whipped up in AutoIt for scanning a hard drive for compressed files. Basically this was originally planned to be used to check how many files were compressed during a Windows Disk Cleanup operation to see how much was affected. There is also a quick decompress option which runs the [...]

Posted Monday, 22 August, 2011 by Mike Morawski in Applications, Hardware and Circuitry, Windows XP

HP must not like their webspace being cluttered up with their LaserJet Toolbox software. It’s impossible to find! I noticed the frustration among forums from people about this. I work with a bunch of HP printers so I thought I can help out by uploading the 2400 series toolbox. Download 2400 Series ToolBox 59.0 mb [...]

Lots of people having issues finding Toolbox software on HP’s website. Well, I too really needed it. Fortunately I found a hold of one, so I stripped it down to just the Toolbox/Drivers and I’m putting it on here to help everyone out. Files were removed/no ISO upload because I don’t want to pay for [...]

MIG Recovery and Viewer Utility (Vista/7 – USMT4 USMT3)

Posted Monday, 17 January, 2011 by Mike Morawski in Applications, MDT, Scripting and Automation, Windows 7

Lately I’ve been toying with MIG (Windows Migration Backup) files and I’ve found no helpful viewer programs for looking inside. Fortunately there is a utility, MigRecover.exe, floating around. Unfortunately I don’t know the original developer of this software to give proper credit to, though it is likely developed by Microsoft. This utility has been quite [...]

Novell WinXP Auto-Login Tool v1.1 – Download here!

Posted Friday, 28 May, 2010 by Mike Morawski in Applications, Scripting and Automation, Windows XP

I'm sure most people working with Novell clients have needed this at least once. This tool greatly simplified setting up a desktop for multiple people or people that would normally not have a local account (such as guests that have Novell access).
