In Windows 8 capture the whole screen is real easy. You simply press Windows Key + Print Screen Key. The captured picture will be stored in your Pictures folder under Screenshots.
If you want to capture a window or part of the screen, you can still use Snipping Tool. (Press Windows key and type Snip, select Snipping Tool from the search results). Snipping Tool is available since Windows 7.
As a first step to upgrade to Lync 2013 environment it’s better to push Lync 2013 client to all user’s computers and enable Lync 2013 to see OCS 2007 R2 servers.
It’s as simple as adding an registry key. Disabling Server version check on the registry makes Lync 2013 client to see the OCS 2007 R2 Front-end servers. Add the following registry key and reboot the computer.
Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\lync
Name: DisableServerCheck
Type: DWORD
Value: 1 (00000001)
You may download this file (right click the downloaded file and select Merge to add to the registry).
Of course there is always a catch. Lync 2013 client with OCS servers works only with basic instant messaging (no audio/video, screen sharing, etc.,). One good thing is if you use Outlook 2013, Lync 2013 client can save IM history in Exchange Mailbox.

I suffered flash player issues in Windows 8, I am guessing after a Microsoft Windows Update. I am not talking about Metro IE. Desktop IE 10 wouldn’t play flash content at all. Every web site I visit IE or website complained I don’t have Flash installed.
Adobe Flash support/help is good for IE 10. But it didn’t help me at all. Blogs and Newsgroups were blabbering about I have to use desktop IE browser for Flash support. I have tried to update Windows, but there was no updates. I tried to uninstall updates from reverse date order. I even downloaded the Windows 8/IE 10 supported Flash Player ActiveX OCX files from Adobe and replaced it with my current files. It didn’t help either.
SOLUTION (that worked for me):
1. Open Command Prompt in Administrator Mode (Run As Administrator)
2. Change your current directory to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
3. Type REGEDIT32 Flash.ocx
Try IE10 now. Hope it works for you also. Leave me a Thanks note.
If you click Lower-Left corner, you go to Start menu. Right click on the same spot (Lower-Left) you will get special admin menu. Look it has Run, Control Panel, System, etc.,
Most mice have a scroll wheel. Sure, it takes you up and down on a page, but in combination with other keys, it can do much more:
Say you are talking to someone, your computer goes to sleep while you are not on the computer. You hate that you have to log in again. It happens many times of the day. You may not want to change the sleep settings (or locked out evil IT department Group Policy Objects).
Here is a little tip to cheat the system. Click the clock on the task bar to bring the analog clock and calendar like below. Leave the mouse on top of the analog clock. Your screen won’t lock or go to sleep. The Analog clock second hand movement is tracked by your mouse, so the computer thinks you are busy doing something.
When I try open the attached office document files, I get Word/Excel/Powerpoint experienced an error trying to open the file like the following popup.
Don’t search any Outlook settings. This is not the Outlook issue. It is the respective program (Word or Excel or Powerpoint) refused to open the document from unsafe origins.
The solution is to fix the corresponding program. You may end up fixing all office programs. To fix the issue follow the instructions.
Now try open the attachment from Outlook. It will open normally. Enjoy!
