Password Strength Checker

Ever wondered or wanted to know how good your password is, you might be surprised how easy it is crack and your account compromised.
Things to consider when creating or changing your password.

Complexity: Add uppercase letters and symbols.
Length: Make sure is has a minimum of 8 characters
Variety: Don't use the same password for everything.

In secure environments passwords will be changed monthly and you will not be able to use the same password for 24 password changes. (or 24 months). Now this may seem a little over the top but in a secure environment this is what is required. So if you lo-gin to your account on multiple computers you should change your password at least 2 to 4 times per year.

If you want some ideas on how to create a strong secure password Microsoft has a website to help.
 You can see it here.

This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions Microsoft Outlook.

When clicking on a hyperlink in an e-mail, I get this Message : “This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.” I get this message every time that I attempt to use the hyperlink. I am the administrator on this stand alone computer. How do I deactivate this feature so that I activate hyperlinks ?

If you received this error after uninstalling any application that takes over the HTML open command (including, but not limited to, Chrome & Firefox browsers) you may also need to change the HTM/HTML association in the registry.
  1. Start, click Run, type Regedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
  2. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.html
  3. Right click the value for the .html key and select Modify…
  4. Change the value from “ChromeHTML” to “htmlfile” (or from FireFoxHTML to htmlfile)
  5. Repeat for .htm, shtml, .xht, .xhtml, .xhtm keys
Repeat these steps for htm and .shtml keys if they exist. You may also want to check the xhtml and xhtm keys. Don’t want to edit the registry? Download this file (right click and choose Save target as…) Then double click on the file to run. From After uninstalling Google Chrome Links in e-mail don’t work any more

This is a link to explain more about this error.

Intermittent connection to Windows 7 shared folder from Windows XP workstations

How to Optimize Windows NT Server Using the Registry. The windows 7 computer is acting as the server.

I maintain a small network for an accounting office. My client has a Windows 7 Professional server which is sharing Internet access and sharing a folder to 2 Windows 7 workstations and 2 Windows XP workstations. I have the folder mapped as drive "L:" on all the workstations.
Everything works fine for the Windows 7 workstations. They are able to access the Internet and read/write files in the shared folder all day, every day.
Everything works fine for the Windows XP workstations at first, but then they lose access to the shared folder after awhile (sometimes hours, sometimes overnight). They retain access to the Internet, however. I am sometimes able to reboot the Windows XP workstations to see the shared folder again, but other times the connection just comes and goes at an apparently random schedule

To configure the Server service, follow these steps:

  1. In Control Panel, double-click Network.
  2. On the Services tab, click the Server service, and then click Properties.
  3. There are four configuration options for the Server service listed here:
    1. Minimize Memory Used
    2. Balance
    3. Maximize Throughput for File Sharing
    4. Maximize Throughput for Network Applications
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

When you configure one of the four options for the Server service, the information is saved to the following two registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\lanmanserver\parameters\size
Your choices for this registry key are 1,2 and 3.
1 = Minimize Memory Used
2 = Balance
3 = Maximize Throughput for File Sharing and Maximize Throughput for Network Applications
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache

Your choices for this registry key are 0 and 1.
1 = Maximize Throughput for File Sharing
0 = Maximize Throughput for Network Applications
Some programs, such as SQL and Exchange, set this value during an installation. For these programs, the optimal setting is 0.
0 = Indicates that the computer does not go outside its cache pool and use program memory to perform I/O functions.

1 = Indicates that the computer looks outside of its cache pool and uses program memory to perform I/O functions. This occurs if the cache is full.


Reboot the server or:

net stop server
net start server
