Here is a quick tip for today.

If you ever have to recreate your profile or install outlook onto a new computer and your use to seeing the list of email addresses in the TO: section come up as you type in a persons name then this tip is for you.

On your old computer you’ll need to navigate to your users profile directory. eg: c:\users\<username>\application data\microsoft\outlook or do a search of NK2 and make sure you select search hidden and system files.

You’ll find a file name with an extension of .NK2 example: outlook.NK2 and you’ll need to copy this file to a usb drive and then transfer this file into the new user profile on the new computer in the same directory. example: c:\users\<newuser>\application data\microsoft\outlook

Now when you open up outlook and create a new email and start typing in a persons name it will show you a list like you had it before.

If you have any questions please feel free to post.

Easy way to compress photos/pictures

So here is a quick tip on how to easily compress pictures that you may want to send via email or save hard drive space. I will give you 2 ways you can do this.

1) If you have Microsoft office installed you can use their picture manager program. You can find this under the programs > microsoft office > microsoft office tools. Now select the photos you want resized and then click on the Picture along the top and choose Resize and this will save the photo in a smaller size.

 

2) If you don’t have Microsoft office installed you can download a great free program called Fotosizer. This program can resize a batch of photos and is easy to use.

I hope this helps some of you out there as I know it can be time consuming in trying to send pictures via email that are huge in size.
