If you use Windows' built-in feature that groups similar program windows on the taskbar, you've noticed it only works when you've launched enough windows to fill the taskbar. The CyberNet blog offers up a customizable registry tweak that activates the grouping with just two or more windows open. Not everyone enjoys the grouping function, as it was downgraded to a non-default setting in Vista, but for those who do, the hack can be a real helper. You can download a registry fix file at the link below, or make the change yourself at the following key:HKEY_CURRRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer AdvancedCreate a new DWORD (32-bit) value named TaskbarGroupSize at that location, setting the value to 2 or higher to set the number of programs to activate the grouping.

Microsoft Outlook has three "risk levels" it can apply to attached files, which determines whether it warns you before downloading, tries its best to block you entirely, or just lets a file be grabbed without comment. If it doesn't know what kind of file is attached, however, it prompts, which can be annoying for workers who regularly pass around certain file types. The gHacks tech blog explains how you can set Outlook to see files of any kind as low-risk, through a registry hack. Details of the hack after the jump, but be sure to back up your registry before marching forward.To add file types to Outlook's (and Windows') low-risk watch, head to the following registry folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER Software Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Policies
Right-click on "Policies" and create a new Key named "Associations." Inside that key, you can create a new DWORD value of "LowRiskFileTypes," then change its value by including file extensions, with periods, separated by semi-colon read more »
