Windows 7 Easy Transfer Tool PC to PC configuration

I could not get this to work until I made a program based firewall exception.

Make a firewall exception on both machines for the program %windir%\system32\migwiz\migwiz.exe. Once I did that the transfer found the other computer and I could do the PC to PC transfer.

Here's a nice little blurry video trying to show you how to create this firewall exception on Windows 7.

Getting back purchased apps on Android phone after hard reset

I just went through this. If you have to hard reset your phone you may not remember all of the apps you have purchased. One thing you can go is go to the Android Market and hit the menu button. Select My apps (or Downloads) and it should list everything you have purchased.

reoccuring hour glass or spinning circle (windows 7)

At some point in time something got installed on my pc that caused the spinning circle (the Windows 7 equivalent of the hourglass) to appear over and over and over. The frequency was about every 10 seconds. I watched the processes and could see the culprit was SkypeNames2.exe. This is remedied by uninstalling the Skype toolbar.

How to open documents from Sharepoint in edit mode

At my work we have a SharePoint server. Whenever I would open a document (.docx, .xlsx) it would always open in Read Only mode. I found a fix for this that worked for me (Windows 7 x64 and Office 2007).

First we need to open the registry editor. Go to Start>Run and type in: regedit and click OK. If you are on Windows 7 and do not have a Run box do this:
Start>All Programs>Accessories>right click on Command Prompt and choose 'Run as Administrator'. This will bring up a command prompt window. At the prompt type: regedit and hit the Enter key. This should open the registry editor.

Now expand to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Internet
With Internet highlighted right click in the white space of the right side window pane and choose 'New>Dword value'. Name the new value OpenDocumentsReadWriteWhileBrowsing
Now right click on the new name and choose Modify. Put 1 in the Value data box. Click Ok.

You should now have something that looks like this:


Once this setting is complete retry opening a document or spreadsheet from the SharePoint server and see if now it opens in an non-read only mode. This worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Outlook Error This operation was cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer

This error may occur if a browser was installed and then uninstalled. The associations with IE get broken. This can be fixed by running the batch file located here. Extract the zip and run the batch file inside. Close IE, and any MS Office apps before running.

See this page for more info (the author of the batch file).
