Be sure to reboot the workstations on your LAN after installing Service Pack 2 for Microsoft Exchange 2003. One station was automatically sending new mail to the Deleted Items folder. The other was hung at 95% while checking mail. Both were fine after rebooting.

The server had been rebooted once after installing the update.

Access the configuration of Firefox by typing about:config on the address bar and then press [Enter]

add this (New .. boolean)

config.trim_on_minimize
Set it's value as true to have Firefox release as much memory as posible back to the system whenever you click to minimize. This doesn't work for "Show Desktop" (Window+D) or "Minimize all" (Window+M). Every program should have this feature by default. When I minimize a program, that generally means I'm on my way to another program. Releasing used memory makes sense since it becomes available for other programs to use.

I like to manually set this item since I almost never go back more than one page. Reloading doesn't take that long if clicking "back" is required. (You can also do some fun things with "History" in Firefox).

browser.sessionhistory.max_total_viewers 1 instead of the default -1

Windows Terminal Server 2000 does a fair job of allowing a remote user to be able to print to a locally attached printer. Printing to another remote user's printer is much more elusive.

The simple fix is to add the user needing access to the Power Users group on the server. Power Users automatically have permissions to access these automatically created and mapped printers.

Depending on your configuration and security requirements, you may require a different solution. The scenario here is a perfect solution for management personnel to print documents at remote offices over already established RDP sessions.
