After installing Acrobat from CS5.5 on windows 7 x64 generating pdf thumbnails in windows explorer got broken, here's how i fixed that.

1. open reader x preferences (crtl + k), go to "General" tab, click "Select Default PDF handler" button and choose Reader
2. if thumbnails got fixed after that - great!
3. if not or even got worse (for me Reader assigned wrong program to handle PDF files) go to Control Panel in windows, click "Default Programs" or something like that (i can't tell how exactly it is in english because i use polish version of windows)





4. in window that opens click this




5. browse for .pdf and click "Change Program"




6. in window that opens select Adobe Reader, click OK, close control panel window
7. now open Adobe Reader from start menu/shortcut, press crtl+O (open file) and navigate to any folder containing PDF files
8. you should see windows generating thumbnails in the "Open File" dialog
9. it's (hopefully - at least for me it worked fine) fixed

hope this helps

How to Whitelist a domain or email address in Microsoft Exchange 2010


Whitelist features are not available via Exchange Management Console (the GUI), so this will have to be completed via the Exchange Powershell
Open powershell via the exchange menu item and run one of the following scripts, based on your requirement:
To check whats currently whitelisted (Bypassed Recipients):
Get-ContentFilterConfig

To whitelist a single email address:
$list = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenders
$list.add("new.mail@address.com")
Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenders $list

To whitelist an entire domain:
 
$list = (Get-ContentFilterConfig).BypassedSenderDomains
$list.add("domain.com")
Set-ContentFilterConfig -BypassedSenderDomains $list

That's it!

Where does Outlook store the credentials? - Username and Password

source: http://www.techspot.com/community/topics/outlook-2003-accounts-file.8927/

I've been looking everywhere for days to find out how to do exactly what you describe - move Outlook accounts from one computer to another, or to simply back up email accounts. Versions of Outlook preceding 2002 had a feature built in for this, but beginning with 2002 there is no feature. Plus it appears that Microsoft has mercilessly hidden its means of storing Outlook accounts from anyone who might be trying to find them.

During my search I found no "manual" solutions, but I did find several third-part programs to do the job, which leads me to believe that Microsoft made deals with third-party developers that led to the exclusion of the account export feature in newer versions of Outlook.

Nevertheless I was determined to find out how to do it, since there must be a way, and I did, and here it is. It's not pretty but it's also not too difficult.

Open your registry editor and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1343024091-507921405-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook

Export the entire Outlook key to a file. You've now backed up your email accounts. To restore the backup to another computer, simply import the backup into the new computer's registry. You may need to delete the Outlook key off the new computer first.
