Force use of HTTPs is now a built in option in Gmail's webclient. Woot woot.

Tech Tip #3 - Map Network Drive Shortcut

Martin:
If you drag a network folder to 'My Computer' it opens the Map Network Drive wizard for that folder... potentially useful though not commonly needed.

Tech Tip #1 - Drag Folder Icon in the Upper Left hand corner of windo does stuff

RyanS:
If you click on the folder icon in the upper left hand corner of an open window and drag it somewhere, it will make a shortcut (default), copy the folder (hold shift) or move the folder (hold ctrl) to the location that you have dragged the folder to (e.g. the desktop). Similar functionality can be had by selecting files/folders themselves and holding ctrl or alt when dragging. Fairly handy and pretty interesting IMO.

Tech Tip # 2 - Outlook Drag Text Creates a New Email

Ben:

Found this out by accident.

In Outlook 2007

If you highlight text from an email message and then drag over to you inbox (actually any mail folder, message, etc.) it creates a new email message with that highlighted text.

It will probably work from other office applications too.


RyanS:

Good tip! Confirmed that it works with Outlook 2000 as well. I can drag text from another email or from an office document or FF. Can't from notepad though. Just tested Notepad ++ and it works too. Looks like maybe anything that supports text dragging as copying will let you do this.

Hopefully no one else is stuck using LookOut! 2000, but I thought I would throw that out there.
