Users who prefer the created shortcut to have the exact same name with the original object, without the – Shortcut suffix been appended or added to the end of the original file name or folder name can use the following registry trick to disable and turn off automatic appending or adding of ” – Shortcut” suffix to the end of shortcut name.Run Registry Editor (RegEdit).
Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
In the right pane, double click on link registry value. Change the “link” binary value data to 00 00 00 00. Restart the computer. With the trick, the suffix ” – Shortcut” will disappear and no longer append to the shortcut name when created. However, it does not change the existing shortcut names. Note the the trick also works to remove “Shortcut To” prefix which is used to label to shortcut created in Windows XP or older Windows operating system.
Alternatively, copy and paste the following text to a text editor, save it as a file name with .reg extension, and run the file to merge the value to system registry, or just download ,

Internet Explorer, until recent versions of IE7 and IE8, does not actually save its browsing session, nor has the ability to restore opened windows or tabs in previous session. It means that if the IE process or browser window or tab crashes, exits suddenly, terminates unexpectedly, or shutdown accidentally, all open browser windows and tabs will be closed and lost, together with the web pages’ URLs.

Sometimes, there is a need to reboot and restart the computer, but there is many IE windows or tabs opened, user will have to either copy each URLs from all the IE windows in a temporary text file, or bookmark each and every IE windows so that these URLs or link locations can be opened and visited again in future. The task is pretty annoying and troublesome. There are tools that able to automates the task to save and restore the browsing session in IE.

Do note that IE7 and IE8 has already incorporates re-open last browsing tabs session restore feature, probably won’t require any add-on, extension or additional program.

BaoBau IESessions

BaoBau IESessions is a convenient alternative to the Internet Explorer Favorites that can save browser sessions for future use. It makes possible to transfer browser sessions across computers and even different browser versions (session in non-tabbed browser will be opened as a set of tabs in tabbed browser, vice versa, tabbed browser’s session will open up as many windows in non-tabbed browser), and allow export and saving of IE browsing sessions to a file to send by e-mail, save to to USB flash memory stick or export to Amazon S3 Storage (fee payment required for online backup).

Once IESessions is installed, it’s integrated into IE browser, and can be accessed via IESessions icon in the Internet Explorer toolbar or via Tools -> IESessions menu. Once press the “Save Current” button, user can name the saved session a new name, or use the default name. All of the URLs that are open in all tabs and windows are saved for a single session. Session can be restored and loaded by double clicking on a saved session or click on Load button.

One advantage of IESessions over the built-in IE7 and IE6 session saver and restorer is that it allow multiple browsing sessions to be saved, viewed, managed, edited and restored. User can manage the stored URLs of each session, open just one single web page from the session, or delete unwanted or potentially causing problem URLs from the session.

IE Sessions supports Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 on Windows XP or Windows 2000. For Windows Vista and Windows 7, user will have to install IESessions into one of the following location for IESessions to work properly to save the browsing sessions especially when Protected Mode and User Account Control (UAC) is turned on, as IESessions stores sessions history into program folder, which requires administrator’s rights to write into.

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\IESessions\

Mailspect is pleased to announce the beta version of a universal connector web services for email, Web Services MPP. This revolutionary technology solves a longstanding problem with email, core business systems are underutilized because most overlooked communication core business systems such as email unstructured.

In addition, the email is stored in silos, in cooperation working group, sales automation and customer service systems that do not talk to each other. These systems are often not updated – automatically from system to system – critical information embedded in the e-mail flow. As a result, operations are inefficient duplication and maximize opportunities not. For example:

• CRM applications are not aware of the criticism and attachments for emails sent out of the system

• CRM applications are not aware of customer service emails related to sales opportunities

• Sales teams do not fill the CRM software with email, because this manual process is too time consuming

• The project management systems do not contain records of emails sent out of the platform among the participants

• Business systems are underutilized because people do not trust that the information is complete and current

• Management does not have a clear idea of the day to day business, because systems are not updated content in real time e-mail

MPP Web Services solves these problems by integrating unstructured streams of email with web services applications, including Salesforce.com, SugarCRM, Basecamp and others. This web application services will radically change the form of email integrated with enterprise applications and cloud, providing a network layer connection that requires no client software or unnecessary e-mail transmission.

For example, imagine the daily life where a customer e-mails one important technical question directly to someone at your company other than the account representative. In today’s environment there would be no way that this message will be recorded in Salesforce and essential information could be lost. MPP With Web services, e-mail can be transparently connected to Salesforce and the sales team are fully aware of potential problems with the deal. MPP offers a wide range of selection criteria to find important email so you can be sure that only the ‘relevant email “is associated.

“We invented MPP Web Services, because the CRM software is too cumbersome to populate the majority of sales teams and I got tired of learning about problems after the fact. I realized that most of the information was in the e-mail flow unstructured had limited access a. Now I can look at a CRM account and view an up-to-date list of all emails and attachments, if the seller wants me or not, “explains Michael Katz, CEO of Mailspect Inc.

“MPP Web Services has applicability to a wide range of enterprise applications such as Salesforce.com, Websphere, Sharepoint, Basecamp, Google Apps and SugarCRM. It works with virtually any application that has a powerful API and open,” said Paul Sterne, director marketing Mailspect Inc., “MPP Web Services is unique because the mail is automatically processed unstructured at the network level, not manually in individual personal computers or application level.”

“The integration of available data on mail flow provides a new value before MPP Web services was not possible. As a development partner, we see great opportunities to leverage this data set and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the operations of our customers, “Hans Zaunere, Managing Partner, New York PHP, LLC.

MPP Web Services development requires minimal resources to implement. It can be seen as a “stack of middleware for e-mail that has profound transformation and email management options for developers only need to create standard web service queries, and response templates using standard HTTP, HTTPS, XML or JSON. MPP Web Services work as well with Microsoft Exchange as it does with Linux-based, as with Postfix mail gateways.
