    I’ve seen IT departments go from centralized, to decentralized to centralized again. From in house to outsourced and back again.

    Any group in a company that starts putting its own interests ahead of the company’s best interests is eventually either going to lose or take down the company; especially small ones. Unfortunately, too many IT departments see themselves as risk minimizers and not business enablers.

    Move The Recycle Bin To The Taskbar In Windows 7

    When the Recycle Bin first made its appearance in Windows 95, I really enjoyed dragging and dropping unneeded files on the trash can icon and watching them disappear. It was just so cool! (Keep in mind that was 15 years ago, and the drag-and-drop capability was a new feature.)

    Configure Windows 7 To Run Only Specific Applications

    There are situations where you, as the administrator/owner of a network or group of machines, want users to be able to run only certain applications.

This tool is powerful and offers numerous features, including the ability to limit the applications users can run.
