TCP Tuning off for Vista

Well sometimes Vista in a network environment misbehave. It has a new function that tries to Auto-Tune the connection. That can cause poor intermittent network performance. So what can we do to turn this option off? Easy. Type:

netsh interface tcp set global rss=disabled
netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled

as an administrator and that was it.

You have new unopened items missing in the taskbar

People asking me all the time about the small yellow envelope, in outlook, that appears in the taskbar when a new email comes in. They keep on loosing it! Where is it? Where did it go?

Relax, it's not that bad. To get it back do the following:
Click Tools
Click Options
Click E-mail Options
Click Advanced E-mail Options
Tick the "Show an envelope icon in the notification area"
Click OK 3 times.

And that's that! Easy.
