Windows System File Checker (Sfc.exe)
Google Search It

Here's a tip I got recently from Element K Journals W2K tips newsletter:

"Windows 2000 includes a command line utility, sfc (which stands for system file checker), that enables you to check all of Windows 2000's protected operating system files to determine if they have been damaged or overwritten. If it finds that a file has a problem, it will copy a backup copy of the file from the \%systemroot%\system32\dllcache folder. To run this utility, open a Command Prompt window and enter sfc /scannow to scan all of your computer's files immediately. Alternatively, you can enter sfc /scanboot if you want the system file checker to check your protected system files each time your computer boots."

Okay, so I am not a Java guy but this book looks intriguing.

Outblog and Avant Browser
Google Search It

I read about Ingo Rammer's attempt to place his weblog on to Exchange a few weeks ago but not it appears he has actually completed his effort.  Wow!!!  Check out OutBlog.  I am not using it yet but I am completely intrigued and tempted to give it a try as soon as I have a day to install and move everything over.  I should probably verbalize what I am hoping to gain from the move rather than simply doing it for technologies sake.

Anther really cool piece of software that I hadn't come across before was Avant Browser (thanks Phil Wu).  This is essentially a wrapper around IE so that instead of having tons of IE windows open up you get tabs at the bottom of the Avant Browser screen.  I still haven't got used to using CTRL-TAB rather than ALT-TAB but I am getting there.  One of the most appreciated features is that when restarting Avant it opens up all the previously opened URLS.  Very cool since I seldom get to read all the open URLs before shutting down my laptop.
