When we looked into how people used email, we found some interesting patterns. It turns out that there are generally three types of people when it comes to email: pilers, filers, and purgers. Which are you? Piler: “I generally don’t put email into a folder or archive. I don’t delete it. I just let it pile up in my inbox." Filer: “I generally categorize messages by moving them into folders I’ve created or assigning labels to each message.” Purger: “I generally delete email after I’ve read it.” Source : Inside Windows Live

A few days ago the search box on my Windows 7 start menu mysteriously stopped working. If I typed anything in the box the search always returns group headers for items (like Programs, Files, Microsoft Outlook, etc ) but not the items themselves. Took my a while to find the solution on the net, so I thought I shared the solution and give some thanks to a few peoples. First, a special thanks to Chris DeLashmutt who blogged about this problem and the solution I used. Also, big thanks to Bobby Mikkelson who wrote a detailed solution. There is also an Hotfix for that problem at Microsoft (kb977380).
Don't waste your time trying to understand what this blog is about or why is there so many unrelated news in it (from Formula 1 to computer programming). It's simply my own personal blog where I can put any information I like.
