Hibernate feature in Windows XP

<-- Yuiyuan (豫园 in Shanghai)
Do you get frustrated while you wait around for the slow WinXP computer to startup? To speed up the process, you should considering using hibernate.

When you put the computer to hibernate when powering off the system, the hibernate feature saves everything in memory on disk and then turns off your computer. When you restart your computer the next time, your desktop is restored exactly as you last left it. In other words, you can save some times in reopening the programs again when startup the computer.

To enable the Hibernate feature, go to Control Panel, double-click Power Options, and then click the Hibernate tab. Click to select the Enable Hibernate check box.

To put the computer to hibernate when shutting down, you just need to press ALT + CTRL + DEL key and it will give you the option to hibernate.

How to set default ACL on mail file when registering user on Domino



For the Lotus Domino, lately, I found out a way to set the default ACL for the user mail file when registering the new user.

1. In the Domino Administrator client, select the "Template only option” in the "Show me" combo box.

2. Find the mail template used to create mail files, say iNotes6.ntf. Right click on the template, and then select Access Control -> Manage.

3. Click the Add button.
- From name lookup select the administrator's group.
- Select that Administrator's group in the ACL, and click Rename.
- Add brackets to the group name. For example, if the group name is "AdminGroup", rename it to "[AdminGroup]".
- Click OK.
- Assign the group manager access.

4. Now when mail files which are created is based on the modified template-- the administrator's group will automatically appear in the ACL with manager access.

Proofpoint anti-SPAM

I have just tested an anti-SPAM product called Proofpoint for the E-mail system lately for a couple of months.

Before that, I have tried the Symantec, Trend Micro & Barracuda and it is the best among these few. Till now, there is not a single false-positive detected for mails.

According to my research, it is the third generation product which uses MLX technology for mail scanning. It is really GOOD!
