QuickIcons: Create New Outlook Items from Anywhere

The free QuickIcons for Microsoft Outlook utility will add several new icons to your Quick Launch toolbar that allow you to create a new e-mail, contact, appointment, task or any other Outlook item without having to first switch to Outlook. The author also provides KnockOut which monitors the state of Outlook so you can tell if Outlook has really left the building or not.

Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2000

From Slipstick’s weekly Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter:

Users stuck on Exchange 2000 who want to upgrade to Outlook 2010 are out of luck until their company upgrades the Exchange server as Outlook 2010 won't work with Exchange 2000. Exchange 2000 is long out of support and to take full advantage of Outlook 2010's features you need to use it against Exchange 2010.”

Add-ins and Outlook 2010 x64

Another important note from Slipstick’s Exchange Message Outlook:

“The 64-bit version of Outlook 2010 seems to be very popular among beta testers but they are discovering a problem: most existing add-ins do not work with it. These add-ins will need to be rewritten or recompiled to run as a 64-bit add-in in order to work with the 64-bit version of Outlook. Anyone who needs a specific add-in working in Outlook will need to install the 32-bit version of Office until the add-ins are updated.”

Audacity: Record Streaming Music

Audacity is a free sound recording product that can record any sound that comes out of your computer’s speakers or headphones. This is particularly useful if you want to transfer streaming music or the sound from a streaming video to your portable player. Audacity lets you capture the sound and then export the sound file to many popular formats including MP3. Perfect for listening to an old concert from Wolfgang’s Vault while driving in your car!
