You may know already, but few of my friends facing the below confusion , so thought of sharing with you. When quickly going through my emails, often we haven’t actually really read the emails but Outlook already marks them as read. This is quite confusing unless we mark them as unread again which takes more time and defeats the purpose of quickly going through our emails. The options for how and when Outlook should mark emails as read can be found in; Outlook 2007 and previous Tools-> Options…-> tab Other-> button Reading Pane… Outlook 2010, Outlook 2013 and Outlook 2016 tab View-> Reading Pane-> Options… The default is set to mark items as read when you select another email. When you disable this option, all mails remain as unread unless you manually mark it as read or double click the message to open it in its own window. Once you uncheck  “mark items as read when selection changes”, the mail will change to read only w...

Internet Explorer assigns a security zone to any website that the user is visiting. Next to the two generic zones Internet (all that are not in another zone), Local Intranet (local sites) are Trusted sites and Restricted Sites. Trusted sites will usually have a lower security level than restricted sites. One could for instance move financial sites or sites from companies like eBay or Amazon into the Trusted sites list. Restricted sites are those that should be accessed with lower permissions. Good for websites that need to be accessed but are not that trusted. If a user accesses the Internet with multiple computers he might want to use the same security zone settings on all of them. The easiest way to do that would be to export the security zones on one computer and export them to all others instead of adding sites to the zones manually on all computers. Internet Explorer is storing the security zone information in the Windows Registry. To export the settings of the currently log...

Share this  using the hashtag  #DailyRundown . Now you can hail a self-driving Uber in San Francisco:  Yesterday  we reported  that San Franciscans could hail a self-driving car via Uber “very soon” —  turns out that was an understatement . It’s not the first U.S. city to feature Uber’s self-driving vehicles (that honor goes to Pittsburgh, the home base for its Advanced Technologies Center), but it’s a significant step for the San Francisco-headquartered startup. Today’s expansion also debuts the XC90 self-driving car, a Volvo SUV “ outfitted with lidar , a kind of radar based on laser beams; wireless technology; and seven different cameras.” It’s Fed Day:  After months of will-they-or-won’t-they speculation, today the Federal Reserve is  widely expected  to announce an interest rate hike. Now attention turns to the Fed’s actions in 2017: ”The message from the Fed on Wednesday is likely to be that it is too soon to know for sure,”...
